Scarborough Castle - A Close Encounter

Myself and my best friend Jo on a recent trip to Scarborough, went to the castle and the first day we went it was closed so we just walked around the castle walls. We both picked up on sword fighting and caveliars and felt we were being watched.

The following day we went and it was open so we went inside. It is a spectacular castle that dates back many years and is absolutely huge.

We went into the bathroom and as Jo followed me in it didnt sound like her, it sounded like a man with big boots on. Jo said she felt that she was walking with someone and described a man to me who I could pick up in my mental eye.

As we started to walk this man introduced himself as Phillip then went on to say Pier, I thought I was picking up on 2 spirits but turns out it was the same guy. He was French and he kept following us around and acting as a 'tour guide' everytime we stopped he'd say this is where this happened and this is where that happened. He said he loved to watch people over the years and show them around but not many people heard him, he continued to follow us because we could hear him and he wanted to talk to us.

He said that he had a wife and daughter and that he couldn't 'go home' to them (when I asked why he was wandering the spirit plane) he said that he felt ashamed but he wouldn't go into it anymore so I didn't push.

He kept mentioning the 1300's.

We went to a jail part of the castle called the bailey and Jo said that it must have been awful, Pier said it really was.

He followed us until the very end and even sat with us whilst we had a cup of tea. I asked Archangel Michael and Raphael to help him move over and they said they would try but it would be up to him.

Later we walked through the gift shop and found a book with the history of the castle. Opening it up I was amazed to find a Pier Gaveston had been to the castle in 1312, he often went by the name Phillip and was french. It turns out he was killed because of prejudice as he and King Edward II were having a homosexual relationship. Pier had a wife and daughter Judith at home and was beheaded before he had chance to go back to them.

I was amazed at what we had found out and furthermore Archangel Michael told us that he helped Pier to finally cross over, I hope he can now have some peace.

The reports on further investigation about ghosts at Scarborough Castle dictate Pier as being an evil, angry spirit who runs at people and tries to knock them off the cliff edge. I feel that he was merely wanting to be heard, as the man we met was kind, gentle and misunderstood.

I sure hope that wherever he is now that he is finally at peace.

I have found a book on his life that I am going to buy so I will keep you updated if I find anything else out.
