AS MEDIEVAL CASTLE bedrooms go, this one looks the part. Disturbing Flemish tapestries share the walls with stern portraits. On close inspection, the ornate fireplace's iron firedogs turn out to have devils' heads. This place is supposedly haunted by the ghost of Tom Skelton, a 16th-century jester said to have committed murder. The malevolent face of "Tom Fool" stares from a dimly lit oil painting just outside the bedroom.

My assignment is to stay overnight in the Tapestry Room at Muncaster Castle in Cumbria, UK. Having earlier reassured my editor that I laugh at ghost stories, my bravado is crumbling. I still don't believe in ghosts, but I'm scared the atmosphere will wind me up into a panic. Two previous guests have bolted in the night, one a premiership footballer, the other a diehard sceptic who came to scoff. Then I learn that I will not be able to leave the room without tripping the castle's burglar alarms. What have I let myself in for?

If there is something strange in a Gilford neighborhood, the Ghostbusters will not be at anyone's front door to help pursue the paranormal. As for Grace Herbert of Hoyt Road, she does not have a problem living inside a house where she has witnessed ghost activity and apparitions and experienced some interesting happenings involving the spirits of the dead.

It all started in 1973, when Herbert and her husband purchased the house at 324 Hoyt Road. The first apparition Herbert witnessed was an elderly woman lying in bed with her arms crossed in the upstairs bedroom, which she keeps as the guest room when people visit. Most of the activity she has witnessed has occurred either in that bedroom or in the living room downstairs, directly beneath the bedroom. "The people who lived in the house before us had similar experiences as us," said Herbert.

"The owners before them in the 1930s had experienced things as well." Herbert said they believe the ghosts are two women named Agnes and Ann. Agnes is thought to have been in her 80s at the time of her passing and Ann is believed to have been in her 40s. Herbert said Anne had one son who died in an accident on the farm sometime in the 1800s.
