confessed in his autobiography In the shadow who had resorted to a spiritual guide to invoke his late mother, who had great interest in the mystical world and resorted to his personal psychic, Sally Morgan, up to three times per week. But the inclination and interest in paranormal events and esotericism, but is shared by the British royal family. The biographer Robert Hardman, has remembered a story related to the royals And the paranormal: a 1953 night occurred in which Queen Elizabeth II attended a spiritualist session to connect with her late father ,.
The story begins, in Norfolk, (England), where the farm staff in which the Windsor celebrate Christmas was scared by inexplicable phenomena that occurred in the bedroom. The situation worsened to the point where they decided to appeal to the queen mother. To deal with the situation, the mother of Isabel II contacted a local pastor in 1953 to perform a “religious cleaning ceremony” inside the room, inviting her daughter, Test Penn, to attend.
“It was not a conventional exorcism. There was no dramatic expulsion of demons, as seen in the movies. It was said that the room housed a tormented spirit and that the pastor had to bless the space,” Hardman explains in his conversation with his co -presenting, Kate Williams, about an anecdote that was first reported in 2000 by the deceased. During the service in the haunted room, communion was taken and special sentences were pronounced whose objective was to dissipate the wandering spirit of Jorge VI. Although, as Rose speculated at the time: “No one was sure who was supposed to be the ghost.”
It is still a mystery if the members of British royalty who participated in the 1953 spiritual session believed the fears of the palace staff about the paranormal phenomena. According to Hardman and Williams in their podcast, to show their servants that their concerns were taken seriously. And Harman also adds his own impressions about the assistants: “It was particularly strange that Isabel II attended, given her cynicism towards this type of wild theory. The late queen had a strong faith, but it was not superstitious. He did not have time for those theories, but he did have a strong sense of the spiritual, as King Carlos III has.”
This spiritual session was not the only one in which Queen Mother and Isabel II participated. He (2024) collect some of the most interesting. Among them, a starring Lilian Bailey, a confidence medium of the royal family, having forged a friendship with a date that is not specified. The psychic was contacted to make a private session to some clients who, initially, remained anonymous. Bailey was taken with her eyes bandaged from her home in Wembley to a house in Kensington, where she went into a trance and shared various messages from beyond. The reports affirm that, when she left her trance, she was allowed to take off her eyes and was surprised to see Isabel II, next to her husband, Prince Felipe de Edimburg, her mother, her sister, Princess Margarita and her cousin sister ,.
The relations with the esoteric and the paranormal events of the British royal family began with Queen Victoria. In the Victorian era (1837-1901), it was fashionable to resort to spiritual guides and the monarch was no exception. According to The King of UFOs, He turned to Medium Robert Lees to help her communicate with her late husband, Prince Alberto, after Birmingham’s seer impressed her with a reading when he was 13 years old. Later, he channeled the one who was the monarch’s husband through one of her trusted assistants, John Brown ,. “Our dear Queen always said that there were ghosts and said: ‘I never go to Glas-Lallt-Shiel [la cabaña junto al lago en Balmoral] . They bristle their hair and begin to growl, so I never go without them and never spend the night there, ”recalled the butler Paul Burrell on January 22, 2024. And he added the data that, in his opinion, disturbed the sovereign:“ Queen Victoria used to spend the night there with John Brown. “
The list of events in British real homes continues. The paranormal historian Richard Felix affirms in the aforementioned documentary that “all its properties have ghosts, they know and have witnessed it. The late queen saw her Tocaya, Queen Elizabeth I, in the Windsor Castle Library. [Carlos III] He has seen the same ghost and his grandfather Jorge VI saw Queen Elizabeth and eight times in the library before the beginning of World War II. ”Other ghosts sighted in Windsor include Jorge III murmuring“ What ”again and again, already Henry VIII groaning and complaining about her ulcerated leg, the expert in British royalty Hilary Fordwich told him in a piece of October 30.
Of the current British royal family. According to his son, Wilshire’s mansion where he grew up was haunted. “As a child, the rooms were afraid. It was always cold. There were many very rational people who, in the middle of the night, got into a car and drove back to London because something had been put in bed, and it was a spirit,” he said in September 26, 2024. The ghost, even appeared before the owner of the house: “My mother says he woke up in the middle of the night and a presence bed”. Camila has also talked about her fear of Dumfries House, a 18th century shelter that the current British monarch ordered to restore. “Without a doubt, there was a ghost,” she recalled in the documentary (2018). “I climbed the stairs, I entered the hall and thought: ‘I can’t move on.’ I was paralyzed … I remember that I thought: ‘I don’t want to come back, and I didn’t do it for years.”
And, as John West writes in his book Britain’s Ghostly HeritageCarlos de England and a staff member fled terrified from the Sandringham Library. And Felix says that Anmer Hall, the current residence, is haunted: “There was a ghost of a Catholic priest who had his residence there and was hanged, dragged and dismembered by high treason, and for some reason, he has now returned home.”
While there are ancient castles and the monarchy, the stories of appearances will continue to intrigue and appear in the media. In July 2024, a leading of royalty shared some images with what seemed like the ghost of Isabel II holding its emblematic Launer bag in a room in the castle of Windsor.
