The Real Haunted Story Of Dragsholm Castle
On the Danish island of Zealand, there is a magnificent building that is now a five-star hotel with a golf course and a Michelin-starred restaurant. The building is situated majestically among lakes and meadows. The bishop of Roskill, Peter Soonison, built and brought home in 12/15 as a palace. Folklore states that this castle ranks high among Europe's most haunted locations. The home castle of Drag has become legendary due to three distinct hauntings. A troublesome Lord, the Earl of Bothwell is associated with three ladies: White, Grey, and White Lady. The white woman represents a lonely female who was encased in bricks. And the old woman is a grateful watchdog. At least one hundred ghosts reportedly roam Drag's ancestral castle.

It came uninvited, lingering longer than it should, wrapping itself around buildings and creeping into every corner of the town. People whispered about it in hushed tones, their words swallowed by the mist as if it, too, were listening.
