A Jealous Wife
One of the most famous ghosts of Ruthin Castle is the Grey Lady. She is believed to be the ghost of the wife of a lord of the castle. The lord was unfaithful and took a mistress, as was common at the time. His wife, however, did not approve of this and reportedly murdered the mistress with an axe. After the murder, the lord’s wife was executed for the murder. Today it is said that her ghost can still be seen walking the battlements.
