Belcourt CastleWhat can be more exciting than meting with ghosts! Experience a Ghost tour at Belcourt Castle in Newport! Miss Virginia Smith, world traveler, presents her often revised ghost tour. She reveals the what, where, why and when of hauntings here and abroad. "I don't seek out these spirits" she says dramatically, "they find me".
The ghosts have been living in the castle since 1956 and it is not a secret for many people. They are still living there and are ready to tell you their history. People of all ages love the ghost tour. Often the most sensitive guests react strongly in the live demonstration of the "Haunted Chair". Ask our staff to visit it.
But Belcourt Castle is famous not only for its ghosts. Enjoy Belcourt Castle's large collection of artwork, furniture, sculpture, armor, paintings, tapestries and stained glass. The collection includes pieces from many time periods and several countries. The Royal Arts Foundation presents this special evening guided tour of the Castle.
