Clitheroe Castle Pendle

The Norman castle keep of Clitheroe has dominated the skyline for more than 800 years since being built around 1186 by Robert de Lacy to protect the administrative centre of his vast estates. It is said to be the second smallest keep in England, since the rooms are only about 20 feet square. The present entrance passes through what was originally a window into what was a cellar. The original entrance was on the right on the next floor. The keep was deliberately damaged after its capture by Parliamentary forces during the civil war, but was repaired in 1848 with smooth-faced limestone blocks, which can be clearly seen.  There is no doubt that there has been strange things going on at this historic castle 'with phantom footsteps  running from room to room when nobody is there, bangs, knocks ' have been heard throughout the building poltergeist activity is said to be going on here with the likes of stones being thrown and visitors being pushed  by unseen hands Dare you join the ghost adventures team as we investigate what goes on in this dark and historic castle .
