Queen Mother's childhood home(I forgot what it was called)is allegedly haunted.
Glamis, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's childhood home (and seat of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne) is indeed alleged to be one of the most haunted buildings in all of Great Britain. Tales include an Earl who played a game of chance with the devil himself, the famous "monster of Glamis", supposedly born to a Lady Glamis and so deformed that he was declared dead and kept imprisoned in an inner room of the castle for almost a hundred years, a white lady, and many more.
The secret of the so-called "monster of Glamis" always fascinated Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon's mother, Celia Strathmore who once asked the factor of the estate the "truth" about the tale. Supposedly, he told her to be glad she would never know, that if she knew the truth it would prevent her from being happy again for even one single day of her life!
I believe part of the reason the story has gained so much credence is due to the fact there are four more windows visible from the outside of Glamis than can be accessed from the inside. (One intrepid house party hung towels from every known window and then gathered outside to find those missing towels; the earl returned home in the middle of this activity and ordered his wife and guests to leave, immediately.) Of course, there is probably some kernel of truth to this story, but I assume the rest is superstitious layers added through time and repeated telling of the story.
If anyone knows more about this legend, please do share! It is fascinating, especially when one considers many believe the "monster" lived until 1921, only two years previous to Lady Elizabeth's marriage to the Duke of York!
