Oxford Castle Goings-on
When the crew of UK television drama Bad Girls decided to film at Oxford Castle, they expected its dim, musty atmosphere, centuries-old prison cells and rich history to add atmosphere to their tale about life behind bars.

A photographer went to a haunted castle determined to get a picture of a ghost which was said to appear only once in a hundred years. He sat in the dark waiting.

For you see, the spirit was willing, but the flash was weak.
