"It is nearly 500 years since Henry VIII's footsteps echoed down the corridors of Hampton Court Palace. In that time, Hampton Court Palace has become known as one of the most haunted places in Britain. The restless spirit of the King's executed fifth wife Catherine Howard reportedly has been seen by several visitors, sometimes uttering terrible cries. Never before, however, has anything truly suspicious been captured on film.
The mystery surfaced two months ago at the 16 th-century palace. On several occasions, security guards heard alarms ringing near an exhibition hall, indicating that fire doors had been opened. But on investigation they found the doors closed. Confused, they examined CCTV footage, and that is when it got spooky.
The cameras showed the heavy doors flying open for no apparent reason. When it happened a second time, they were astonished to see a figure in period dress appear on the screen and close the door. The doors opened a third time the next day, but the figure was not seen."
