04:27my hand prove it six wives of Henry VIII go okay first of all Catherine of Aragon she was married to
04:36Henry's older brother King Arthur but when King Arthur died Henry had to marry the old goat correct that
04:42didn't keep him happy so he divorced her to marry wife number two Anne Boleyn correct wasn't very happy
04:49with her so she got her head chopped off then we've got the one and only Jane Seymour who bought him his very
04:58first son it was a good day for him but she died so fourth wife was out of Cleves famously ugly correct
05:09fifth wife Catherine Howard yes young but a bit of a slag so he had her and who was the last friend pa she
05:21outlived him so you do know something yeah I do well you know what we've got the basic got the keys of
05:30this place we've got free run for 24 hours ah oh hi hi Charlie thanks so much for meeting us and
05:40bringing us here this is welcome yes such a stunning castle the original part of the castle dates back to
05:45the early 1100s but before that there was actually an iron age settlement here as well and there's
05:51just so much history and because it comes from so many different periods it really has its own sort of
05:56I don't know it's got an atmosphere hasn't it there have been quite a few visitors who say that they have
06:03experienced things here so um what's the most common sort of sighting of anything that's seen well there
06:10is a story of a Barbary ape attached to the North West Tower yeah but people do say on a very stormy
06:16night they've seen the the ghosts of an ape running along the battlements did you say Burberry Ape
06:21Barbary Ape Barbary Ape yeah from the from Gibraltar Barbary Ape what are you talking about so
06:27should we go up and have a look yeah please come on then this way I mean let go that way this way good
06:42doggie okay so the North West Tower is just up the spiral staircase I love how short the doors do you
06:50know what I mean they were short yeah back then I walked on my shin okay so this is the North West Tower yeah in
07:02the 17th century it was leased out to various tenants and one of those was Sir Roland Rees so he was quite
07:08an eccentric traveler he did a lot of exploring and on one of his voyages he came back with a Barbary Ape
07:15wow he kept it on chain and he called it Satan oh poor Ape but one night a man called Horowitz came
07:26from the carey village and he was very very unhappy because he said that his daughter had run off with
07:31Sir Roland Rees's son so Sir Roland Rees wasn't having any of this so he lost his temper and it is thought
07:39that he actually set the ape on Horowitz so the servants were working downstairs in the undercroft
07:47and they heard screams coming from up here so they rushed up and they managed to save Horowitz who was
07:52bleeding horribly from his wounds so what happened to the ape well we're not entirely sure there is one
07:58version of the story that says that the ape was never seen again yeah but they do say that on very dark
08:03and stormy nights you can see the silhouette of the ape running along the battlements of the castle
08:09oh god that's horrible yeah do you even know what a Barbary Ape looks like I just see it wearing a
08:20look a barber gillet and a black cap that is a Barbary Ape oh my gosh vicious they're horrible
08:30yeah I know look at them incisors I think I can cope with a sort of human ghost but the idea of a monkey
08:39ghost oh that's horrible I'm glad Bo's here to protect me what's she gonna do
08:53so in actual fact yeah it's not just the Barbary Ape that is said to haunt Cairo Castle yeah
08:59um there are also the ghosts of two enormous wolf hounds that haunt the ladies solar just up this
09:06way if you'd like to follow me what do you think of that Bo come on Bo is she picking something up
09:11right now I think I saw a half a hobnob left down oh fine well come on come on
09:18come on you're the guard dog good girl good girl good girl yes oh wow this is stunning
09:26apparently different people who have visited the castle have said that when they come with their
09:33dogs the dogs actually don't like going in that room the room to our right here the lady solar really
09:38react quite strangely either they'll start barking wildly yeah or they'll start to backpedal and try
09:44and leave the room I mean should we try it with Bo yeah see what she does think are there ever doggies
09:51here okay should we see maybe oh what's this what does that mean she's really she's suddenly relaxed oh
09:59no I think she's spotted something what do you think a wolfhound what is it Bo what have you seen

11:19no harm can be done it's got a roof yeah and a fire can we like that yes of course you can yes no
11:28problem so what's the history here then so the Lesser Hall was extended quite a lot during the
11:32early 1500s when Cerise App Thomas lived here there is a story that a young nobleman living around that
11:38time was actually murdered in the corner of the Lesser Hall okay and we're all right after dark to sort
11:48of wander around with a torch and to see what's about yeah absolutely there are a lot of bats in the
11:53south west tower that's why the castle is actually a site of special scientific interest as well because

19:39anything we ever do sort of just stress disaster does doesn't it do you know what I actually I think we

24:17bet down now
24:18yeah
24:19What is that?
24:38It's coming from down there.
24:40It sounded like a...
24:42Horn.
24:42Horn.
24:44Did they have...
24:46horns back in those days?
24:49Like little French horns, yeah.
24:50Yeah.
24:53All the hairs on the back of my neck have just gone up.
24:58You know, it's just a fire.
25:14God, I look like a lizard.
25:18My eyes, weird noises all night.
25:26Definitely the spookiest place we've stayed at so far.
25:31I don't know.
25:34Really felt like we weren't alone last night.
25:36Where have you been?
25:43Went for a wee.
25:45I had the worst night's sleep.
25:47Did you?
25:48Yeah.
25:49I slept all right.
25:50I don't think I slept till about four.
25:52Really?
25:53It was so loud, like so many noises, like scurrying and scratching.
25:59Do you think it was something?
26:01I don't know.
26:02I was close to Murderer's Corner over there.
26:06After hearing the horn, which was really weird.
26:09That was odd.
26:10It was like a hunting horn, wasn't it?
26:13And we both heard it.
26:14Yeah.
26:15I can't really debunk that in any way.
26:26Maybe we're a bit suggestible just because we're staying in like a thousand-year-old ruin.
26:31It's supposed to be spooky, do you know what I mean?
26:33Yeah.
26:34I've been saying that.
26:36Bo is prone to making sounds like that after eating chilli.
26:42Yeah.
26:43That is true.
26:46Oh, God!
26:52Ah, I promised I'd take you crabbing.
26:54Can we do that another day?
26:55No, we can't.
26:56You promised me that.
26:58Look, I'll take you crabbing, OK?
27:02If you promised me we can just draw a line under the sea monkeys now.
27:07And you never mention it again.
27:09OK.
27:10I mean, I forgive you.
27:13But you are taking your crabbing.
27:16Deal.
27:17That's a good deal.
27:19And buying me a coffee.
27:21That wasn't part of the deal.
27:22No.
27:23Let's just get going, I think.
27:25Oh, do you know what the best thing about having a really thin sleeping mat is?
27:28It takes no time to pack up.
27:30You're going to take ages.
27:32And I ain't helping you.
27:38Right.
27:39Nice day.
27:40Sun's coming out.
27:41Yeah.
27:42Perfect weather for...
27:43...le crabs.
27:45If you could come back as any animal, what do you think you would come back as?
27:52I think, like, an old person's cat.
27:57Oh, why, cos you get spoiled?
27:59Yeah, I think, no, cos they go senile and then they forget that they've fed you, so they just keep putting food down.
28:06Wow.
28:07Look at this.
28:08Not bad, huh?
28:09Oh, look, Rockpool.
