Arkeshus Festning- Norway

 Arkeshus festning- Norway

This place, which was built in the 13th century was used as a prison until the 1950s in Norway. It is said that the prisoners were punished horribly and the sentences in the castle involved hard physical labor.


The security guards working at the palace report hearing strange scratching and whispering sounds from the hallway. Some people have been pushed by some unknown entity.For many decades, people have seen the apparition of a woman in a dark, long, cloak who roams the castle. Some people believe that she has no face.  They called her Mantelgeisten (cloaked ghost).

Many decades ago, the guards of the castle were ordered to provide more security to the castle, which was why the guards had bought a dog. It is said that they buried the dog alive so that its angry spirit returns to haunt the land forever.  The people who had claimed to be bitten by the dog had died within three months.

These ghosts are not the only ones that haunt the place. On one quiet evening, when a few people were inside the castle, they claimed to hear the sounds of war cries from a field nearby, even when nobody was to be seen. The screams continue to come from the empty war ground in the evenings to this day. On entering the castle, some people may feel somebody breathing on their necks, whom they believe, is the ghost of the old gatekeeper. 

                One not-so-fine day, a drunken Swedish man had

arrived  at the gates of the castle with his horse while claiming that he was going to "take over Norway". Both the man and the horse were shot down at the gate, after which the spirit of the horse(not the man) haunts this place and scares people to death.
