Codnor Castle ruins tower in Derbyshire since the 13th century. The Zouch family fortified it against wars. A Black Death plague pit scars the grounds.
Dark Past Echoes Loud
Knights clashed here during medieval feuds. The castle fell to ruin by 1700, but tragedy struck in 1349. Plague victims filled a mass grave nearby.
Locals shun the site after dusk. Ownership changed hands amid curses. Ruins now mix with a haunted cottage, drawing investigators.
However, history fuels unrest. Executed souls and diseased remains stir. This blend creates hotspots for modern ghost hunts.
Active Poltergeist Encounters
Objects fly in the cottage unbidden. Glasses smash, chairs scrape alone. Guests capture EVPs yelling “leave!” amid bangs.
Knight apparitions patrol ruins at midnight. Full-torso shadows charge visitors. One team felt icy pushes near the pit.
Cold spots plague the bailey. Footsteps crunch gravel with no source. Table tipping yields table lifts and raps spelling plague names.
As a result, Codnor thrills pros. Outdoor vigils catch mists; cottage sessions deliver knocks. EMF spikes hit 100% in ruins.
