The Paranormal Database has a chilling tale:
'The terrifying shade of the headless woman walks the hill near the gateway of where this castle stands. The same ghost may also be responsible for the lights that flit across the ruins at night, or they could be caused by phantasmal Royalists that used the castle in 1643. The sound of a galloping phantom horse has been heard at the bottom of the hill upon which the castle stands.'
This is an area steeped in history and in quieter times there is an air of spookiness around the whole area.
