In this episode of True Paranormal Stories, we journey to Cape Town to uncover the haunted history of The Castle of Good Hope, South Africa's oldest surviving colonial building. Constructed in the late 17th century by the Dutch East India Company, the fortress has been a military base, prison, and administrative hub—bearing witness to centuries of conflict, executions, and suffering.
Hauntings include the Lady in Grey, a spectral woman seen moving swiftly through corridors; the phantom governor Pieter van Noodt, believed to be cursed by a condemned soldier; and the eerie bell tower tolling despite being sealed for centuries. Visitors also report unexplained footsteps, whispers, sudden cold spots, and the fleeting vision of a ghostly black dog.
Now a historical museum, the Castle draws tourists and ghost hunters alike. Its lingering energy serves as a reminder that some places hold on to their past—whether we believe in ghosts or not.
