The Ghosts of Hampton Court Palace In its five hundred years of existence, the Hampton Court Palace has been the silent spectator of dramatic history and much later, odd phenomena. It had witnessed the miserable lives and wretched deaths of Henry VIII’s wives. It might be a normal to a mildly spooky experience strolling around the palace in the daytime. However, when the sun sets and dusk casts its eerie spell on the rooms, it is a different story altogether. The haunted gallery, in particular, seems to welcome ghosts of all forms and shapes.

The narrator does not seem to relate to her house at first glance, but as her madness grows, it is easy to see that both are separate from society, and both utterly confusing.
