Once owned by the Royal Family, Charnock Hall in Preston was home to a catholic priest by the name of Robert Charnock. In the 17th century Catholicism was frowned upon in Britain and many masses were conducted here in secrecy. Current owners and past residents have witnessed priestly figures and nun-like transfigurations. Could the child-like feelings and giggling that the crew experience be the work of ghosts of small children that used to live here? The team bravely conduct a séance where Rick is overcome with physical pains and tingling.

The oldest pub in Wales has a gruesome history, in which more than 100 people were hanged in the stairwell. After eliminating all natural causes, the crew becomes convinced that a door is opening and closing of its own volition. The pub's history can be traced back beyond the Norman conquest.

Tutbury, celebrated for its ruined castle, was once a market town seated on the south bank of the River Dove. The tower on top of the motte dates from the mid 18th century. The original Norman castle is said to date back to 1071 belonging first to Hugh de Avranches and then to Henry, Lord of Ferriers and Chambrais in Normandy. In 1174, following a disagreement with William Ferriers, King Henry II lay siege to the castle and ordered it to be demolished. In 1263 it came under further attack from Prince Edward (the future King Edward I). Two years later, Henry III gave Tutbury Castle to his younger son Edmund. It has remained in the hands of the Earls and Dukes of Lancaster ever since. In 1362, new walls, towers and buildings were added on by John of Gaunt, second Duke of Lancaster. And in the late 16th Century the castle was used to keep Mary Queen of Scots imprisoned. The final straw came in 1646, during the Civil War when Parliamentary forces inflicted even more damage leaving the ruins you can see today.
