Ep 26. Most Haunted Extra: Bodelwyddan Castle
- November 30, 2004
Most Haunted Extras is a spin-off series of Most Haunted, which takes the viewers to another level of exciting investigations of notoriously haunted places. In season 5 episode 26, the team travels to Bodelwyddan Castle in North Wales to investigate the ghostly activities happening in the castle.
Bodelwyddan Castle is an imposing Victorian gothic stately home, built in the 15th century. The castle has a dark and haunted history that dates back to the time when it was used as a military hospital during the First World War. The hospital was known for the high number of casualties that occurred and for the experimental treatments that were conducted on the wounded soldiers. Many of these soldiers died, and it is believed that their spirits still haunt the castle.
The team comprising of the presenter Yvette Fielding, historian Richard Felix, paranormal investigator Phil Whyman, and the rest of the crew, begins their investigation with the castle's most haunted area, the cellar. The cellar is known for the sightings of a ghostly figure that is believed to be a former patient from the military hospital. The team uses various ghost hunting equipment like EVP recording devices, thermal imaging cameras, and EMF sensors to detect any signs of paranormal activity.
As they continue their investigation, the team experiences several unexplained occurrences, such as doors slamming shut, sudden chills, and ominous sounds. Richard Felix, who is an expert on the castle's history, tells the crew about the many ghostly apparitions seen in the castle, including a dark figure that is believed to be the ghost of a former caretaker who committed suicide in the castle.
The investigation also takes the team to the castle's chapel, where they encounter strange activities like the sound of chanting and the sighting of a shadowy figure. The team conducts a séance session to communicate with the spirits in the chapel, using a Ouija board, and the results are spine-tingling.
The team spends the night in the castle's eerie corridors, where they investigate more of the castle's hotspots for paranormal activity. The team also uses an experiment devised by Phil Whyman known as the "table tipping," which supposedly enables the spirit to communicate with the team by moving a table.
The Most Haunted Extra: Bodelwyddan Castle is a spine-tingling episode that will leave the viewers on the edge of their seats. As the team investigates the castle's most haunted areas, the viewers will get to witness unexplained occurrences and paranormal activities that are sure to send shivers down their spines.
