We love a good scary story, and this time of year, the spookier, the better. With Halloween upon us, things seem more haunted than usual. But when the calendar flips to November, life goes back to normal for most of us. It seems that’s not quite the case for the royal family, whose homes are reportedly haunted.

One Expert Says The Royal Castles Are Haunted
In the documentary The King of UFOs, now streaming on Amazon Prime, paranormal historian Richard Felix claims that Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, and even Prince William experience paranormal activity in their homes.
“All of their properties have ghosts in them. And they know it and have witnessed it,” Richard said in the documentary.
“The late Queen saw her namesake Queen Elizabeth in the library at Windsor Castle,” he shared. “The King has seen the same ghost, and his grandfather George VI saw Queen Elizabeth eight times in the library before the start of the Second World War.”
This isn’t the first time he’s spoken of the haunted royal residences. In an interview with Hello! A Right Royal Podcast in October 2023, Richard said a ghost had visited William and Kate’s country home, Anmer Hall.
“When the Prince and Princess of Wales moved into Anmer Hall, it’s more or less on the Sandringham Estate, there was a ghost there of a Catholic priest that lived there and was hanged, drawn and quartered for high treason, and for some reason, has returned to his home,” Felix said on the show.
The ghosts live in the haunted residences, but it seems the royal family doesn’t mind. Perhaps it’s been going on so long that the ghosts are just part of the family now. According to Richard, living in a haunted house isn’t that big of a deal, even if you’re a member of the royal family.
“They live with their ghosts because people do,” Richard said during The King of UFOs documentary. Most people aren’t afraid of ghosts when they are in their houses—they just accept them.”
