I went to visit Hampton Court on a school trip when I was in year 6 (I was 10 years old) and I fainted in the haunted gallery. I remember the staff thinking I had low blood sugar and giving me chocolate to help me feel better. I later realised they were only telling me that so not to scare me! I can still remember the repressive, heavy feeling I felt there. It makes me feel headachy just thinking about it. Very strange indeed.

My sister and I are from Indonesia and knew nothing about the hauntings in the gallery. We also did not know anything about the history of the gallery. The moment we stepped into the great hall my sister said to me, "I do not like it here. Let's go, " but I sensed nothing and said, "Oh just a little more," and coaxed her to go up the gallery. As we went up the gallery she became more and more uncomfortable and kept asking me to leave. Then when we reached the door to the chapel behind which the narrator says Henry was at prayers and at which Catherine was said to have been screaming and pleading, my sister became extremely upset and grabbed my arm pulling me out of that section of the palace very agitated telling me, "He was an evil, evil man! We must get out of here now! Right now." Afterwards we visited a friend for tea and she told us that gallery was known to be haunted.

I thought the sound was from an audio that a lady was listening to close by. But when I asked staff, they told me there is no scream on the audio. I felt rather privileged to have heard her. 😌. I want to go back again.

This is the story which brought my attention to Tudor history. I was about 7 and was an advanced reader, so I was allowed to choose books for older children. I saw a book called The Haunting of Hampton Court and decided to read it. The picture I forged in my head as a child of Catherine running down the corridor screaming after Henry has never left me. Since then I became fascinated with medieval and Tudor history.

It's likely that the feeling of dread or anxiousness in that room that people get is likely from Catherine herself. They are feeling the same fear that she felt during this time in her life, or rather, nearing her inevitable arrest and execution.

[@helenejapa]

I despise Henry VIII as much as the next person, but I do believe the execution of Howard was against his true will, and more political than anything.

Would love to go there some day. My late father was doing a TDY to England and Germany for the US Airforce. He got to the Tower of London, Hampton Court, and Windsor Castle. Never thought to ask him if he saw any ghosts there. Now maybe he didn't pick up on anything. He would sometimes tell ghost stories the family brought over from Germany, and he when someone in the family would die, would hear in his dream a beautiful woman singing. His mother and her Aunt louise also would have death dreams in regards to relatives passing. So you would think he might have experienced something, but maybe he didn't get to the Haunted Gallery.

Went in 2022 and I felt like I was being choked the entire time I was in the Gallery. I also felt the overwhelming urge to cry. I couldn’t stand to be in the chapel either. It was a full sense of dread and sadness. I apologized to poor Katherine’s spirit as I couldn’t help but feel like this was what she had felt in her final days.

The passageway called the "Haunted Gallery" as shown in the video is in the addition added in the William & Mary period, long after the death of Katherine Howard. If her ghost haunts it, she is not only guilty, but confused.

I'm a huge Tudor fan and I would love to see either Anne Boleyn's ghost or Katherine Howard's ghost. For Katherine's spirit, I always thought her to be trying to find help and forgiveness from Henry and everyone else that was around her. It might sound crazy but if I ever heard her scream from another room in the castle, I would run to the Haunted Gallery or wherever I heard the scream coming from. I just want to tell Katherine "Everything is going to be okay. You're safe." I don't care if I faint, I just want K Howard to know that everything is okay.

When I visited HCP in the late 1970s, and walked along that gallery, I HEARD two distant screams. My friend who was with me also heard it. When the first distant scream happened, we both looked at each other as if, 'what the heck was that?' But no-one around us seemed to notice. Then we heard it again, a distant scream of a woman. Thing was, we didn't even know the history of that gallery, nor the haunted reputation, until AFTER we had left! Days later! And in the old BBC series from the early 1970s, 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII', my favorite episode was the one about Catherine Howard.

[@cindybeatty4596]

Even if Catherine Howard was guilty of the crimes that she was accused of, she probably shouldn't have given Henry the satisfaction. Henry was going to have her beheaded either way. She was just a teen who was pretty much thrown into the position of queen. I don't think that I could have slept with a man who had those ulcers on his legs that were wreaking terribly. Yuck! Poor Catherine.

[@perunlowtuned]

Don't be silly, it was the 16th century! If you read about Katheryn, you'll see that she loved every second of it (until she was accused, of course). 'Every day she dressed with new clothes in the French fashion bedecked with precious jewels, decorated in gold around her sleeves'. She was THE QUEEN, the center of attention of the whole Europe! She was given a palace, the servants, loads of jewellery and presents that are madly extravagant & expensive today! Her whole family moved into court and "Henry indulged her every whim, thanks to her caprice". For a teen in mid 1500’s that was beyond the wildest dreams (she was actually between 16 and 21)! For a teen today, it still is (and for majority of adults in the world, tbh). Henry called her 'the jewel of womanhood', saying he'd never known 'the like to any woman', and ambassadors wrote about her vivacity & happy, joyful spirit. It's unfortunate how it all ended, for sure, but it fits in the zeitgeist of the early 1540’s...
