WINDSOR Castle has been named as one of the most haunted places in England and it's no surprise with the number of ghost stories to be told.

It is said to be the Royal Family's most haunted homes with over 25 ghost and ghoul sightings over the years.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding venue St George's Chapel is home to the coffins of Henry VIII, George V and Charles I, underneath the floors.

Henry VIII, who reigned from 1509 to 1547, is even reported to be heard "hobbling" around the castle's deanery cloisters.
