Hauntings

Warwick Castle is the subject of many ghost stories. Fulke Greville is said to haunt the Watergate Tower, despite being murdered in Holborn; the Watergate Tower is also known as the Ghost Tower and for most of the year it is home to "Warwick Ghosts Alive", a short, live-action show telling the story of Fulke Greville's murder. The show uses live actors, sound, lighting and visual effects. An episode of the television programme Most Haunted was filmed in the castle in 2006. The programme investigated the dungeon in Caesar's Tower, the Ghost Tower which Fulke Greville is rumoured to haunt, the undercroft which is rumoured to be haunted by the ghost of a little girl, and the Kenilworth bedroom where Frances Evelyn "Daisy" Greville, Countess of Warwick supposedly held seances. In 2009 work on a new tourist attraction being built at a the castle was brought to a halt after builders claimed ghostly goings on were leaving them too spooked to continue their work. - - The sprial staircase of Caesar’s Tower in the Castle is said to be haunted by a monstrous black hound. The accounts name a 15th-century servant called Moll Bloxham, who is said produce from the castle stores for her own profit and to have short changed people. The Earl of Warwick cut off her supply and locked her in the tower, this is said to have caused the embittered Moll to turn herself into a slavering hound, which leapt from the tower into the weir below and still wanders the castle grounds to this day. - - -
