This episode will have you yearning for the days of yore when castles dotted the landscape. But wait, there are still places where castles still dot the landscape and many of those are haunted—why else would we visit them. In this episode, we’ll visit Chillingham Castle in Northern England where true evil took the form of a ruthless executioner. Then we’ll leap over the Irish Sea to the heart of Ireland to visit Leap Castle and find out how the Bloody Chapel got its name. Are you brave enough to wander these halls at night?

This psychological thriller centers around Eve who, along with her partner Charlie, buys a home for a price that’s too good to be true with plans of flipping it for a profit. Soon, there’s a knock on the door from a man and his family claiming he grew up in the home and wants to look around for old time's sake. Eve reluctantly agrees, but getting them them to leave is easier said than done. You might read this one soon; Netflix has the film rights and is set to make an adaptation staring Blake Lively.
