King John's Castle
Odiham Castle, today a crumbling ruin, has been home to many kings over the years and also to Elizabeth 1. But it is not with the ghosts of kings, queens and other royal personages that the castle is haunted, but by that of a lowly minstrel. On clear moonlit evenings, especially in autumn, are often heard the sweet notes of his flute and with them sometimes appears the spectre of the minstrel, often described as ‘a thing of shreds and patches.' On the banks of the canal which links the old castle with the village of Greywell there have been many sightings of prisoners being escorted to and from the dungeons, their clothing that of yesteryear.
