1 Windsor Castle, England

Windsor Castle, which has condensed 900 years of British history, certainly has many romantic stories. For example, Edward VIII, who loves beauty but doesn't love mountains and rivers, spent his honeymoon with Mrs Simpson in this castle after becoming the Duke of Windsor. Prince Charles met Diana at Windsor Castle. Unfortunately, this seemingly beautiful relationship and the marriage that followed made men and women all over the world cry. There is also Shakespeare's masterpiece "The Merry Wives of Windsor", which is also talked about by everyone.

As an ancient castle, Windsor Castle also lacks ghost stories and legends. It is said that there are also many ghosts here, the most famous of which is Henry VIII. It is said that the ghost of Henry VIII has been seen wandering in the corridor of the castle, and his footsteps and groans can be heard at the same time. Other ghosts who are said to have appeared in Windsor Castle are: Saxon hunter Hearn, King Charles, anne boleyn, etc.

Saint Michel, France

Before telling ghost stories, it is necessary to visit Mount Saint Michel, which is located on the seaside between Normandy and Brittany in France. It is a famous historic site and religious shrine in France, which makes people feel full of sacredness. Mount St. Michel is located on an island two kilometers off the coast. It consists of towering granite and is usually surrounded by large sand dikes. It will become an island only when the tide is high. In the 8th century, Father Saint Michel built a chapel castle in the highest place on the island, dedicated to the archangel Michelle, and became a pilgrimage center, so it was called Mount Michelle.

Today's St. Michel church castle complex has experienced eight centuries of construction, and countless priests and laborers have carried pieces of heavy granite through quicksand and pulled them up to the top of the mountain step by step. When approaching Mount Saint Michel, you can see a conical hill rising from quicksand. The cone-shaped St. Michel church complex at the top of the mountain is nearly twice as high as the hill, which is very spectacular! The gothic spire of the church soars into the sky, and a golden statue of St. Michel points to the sky with a sword. It's like entering a fairyland on earth

Brown Castle, Romania

Located in central and western Romania, Castle Brown is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Romania. When you hear that its other title is the famous "Vampire Castle" or "Drakula Castle", people may immediately feel gloomy.

The fame of Brown Castle benefits from Dracula, a vampire novel written by Irish novelist braam stock in the19th century. Because the prototype of the vampire in the novel is Archduke Vlad Trapps, who once ruled the area and is said to live in the castle, Brown Castle has since become synonymous with "vampire castle". Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, two Hollywood handsome guys, co-starred in the movie Interview with Vampires at Night, from which the scary and gloomy vampire world originated.

4 Leesburg, England

/kloc-In the 3rd century, Leeds Castle officially became a royal villa. At that time, it was a royal custom for the new kings of past dynasties to give Leeds Castle to the queen for enjoyment. Therefore, later generations commented that everything in Leeds Castle has a strong feminine flavor and is worthy of being called the Queen's Castle. Leeds Castle embodies the luxury and style of the royal villa.

In Leeds Castle, a maze of more than 2,400 fir trees, a unique museum of dog collars, and a rare bird garden left by the royal family to feed 100 kinds of birds that are not found in Britain … these are all beautiful places. But in such a beautiful castle, it is said that there is a ghost hound in Leeds Castle, which will bark in the courtyard of the castle. Many famous people have lived here in history, but so far, I haven't heard that anyone has found their ghosts.
