scary holiday
Would you dare to stay in this haunted castle for £1000?
Scary holiday deluxe: If you fall asleep peacefully, you are not afraid of ghosts.
Only for the particularly brave: In Scotland you can now spend the night in a genuine ghost castle. An accommodation with goosebumps guaranteed…
What happened?
Scary fans can rejoice because there is a new dream travel destination for them: Plane Castle in Scotland is a pretty 14th-century property that now also offers its enchanted cellar rooms for overnight stays.
Well, a basement room isn’t creepy per se.
That’s what actor Rick Carr thought when he recently checked into this accommodation and posted a photo of his quarters on Twitter. Not only is the narrow, dark staircase leading to the room straight out of a scary movie, but the room itself has an effortlessly ghostly ambience.
What exactly is so spooky about that?
Where should we start? Maybe the low ceiling that makes the room look like a dungeon? The antique decor that seems straight out of the Middle Ages? The menacing axes mounted right at the head of the bed? Or maybe with the paintings on the walls that smile mysteriously at visitors and could move by themselves at any second.
Okay, that sounds like a ghost train attraction…
Exactly, except that everything here is really authentic and real and the landlords probably don’t understand why you could feel uncomfortable in this dungeon at night.
And is it really haunted?
It is a 14th century Scottish castle. The first ghost probably moved in before the last stone was laid.
And how much does the experience cost?
The spook is not cheap – an overnight stay costs a whopping 1000 British pounds, a booking is only possible for a minimum of three nights.
That’s steep.
Maybe yes – but the castle has also been the home of Mary Stuart and Prince Charles in the past; they only settle for premium ghost locks. In the video you can see how creepy the castle room really is for visitors.
