Oxford Castle Ghost Fest
The 900 year old crypt is a very daunting place to be but not as daunting as the haunted tower which is terrifying and is one of those places where you want to get out of as quickly as possible.There is the 'Oxford Castle Curse' described as the Black Assize of 1577. Having had his ears cut off, Rowland Jenkes pronounced a curse on the court, the jury and the city. Hundreds of people then died mysteriously within the space of a few weeks following his outburst. Sinister human remains were recently discovered in a ditch beside the Motte which has been dated back to the late 16th Century. Although there are no absolute conclusions it is thought that they could belong to the victims of Rolwland Jenke’s Curse.
There is a very strong possibility that you may meet the ghost of Mary Bland. Mary was tried and hanged at Oxford Castle in 1752. Her ghost has been seen frequently on the Castle Mound by many people including those passing by. Many horrific sights have been seen including two sinister figures dressed in black. Many staff members will not walk around alone due to the terrifying feeling that they experience throughout the Castle and Prison even during the day.
The Haunted Happenings Team will work with you through the night in an attempt to elicit some real paranormal activity. You will also be given time alone to carry out your own personal vigils or experiments.
