Famous Haunted Places: Dragsholm Castle
agsholm Castle (Danish: Dragsholm Slot) is a fortification and noble residence near Hørve in Odsherred on the Danish island of Zealand. Construction was started by the Bishop of Roskilde in the late 12th century.
James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, consort of Mary, Queen of Scots, met his end here, as a prisoner of King Frederick II of Denmark.
The castle is noted popularly for the number of ghosts claimed to haunt it, including Bothwell's horse and the White Lady. The story of the White Lady is quite tragic. She was a noble lady who fell in love with a peasant. The family felt this was a disgrace, so they walled her in alive. The only reason we know of this is because they tore down the wall she was imprisoned in, and unearthed her skeleton.
