Downton
Abbey Location Haunted
Highclere Castle, the setting for Downton Abbey is haunted,
with guests and actors reportedly being frightened by apparitions.
Lady Carnarvon, who owns Highclere Castle where the exterior of Downton
Abbey is filmed, admitted that the property has quite a few ghosts.
She told a newspaper: "There are a few different ghosts here. We all know
who they are.
"Some people see ghosts. Some don't. It doesn't matter."
She added: "But a lot of people have lived here, and I think you can tell
when something terribly upsetting has happened in a room."
However, the spooky goings on have not affected the success of the period
drama, with the series being sold to more than 100 countries.
Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes admitted he is stunned by the drama's
continuing success.
He said: "I thought we'd made a good show and people would enjoy it, but it
was extraordinary.
"We were playing to something like a third of the adult population. I mean,
nobody could expect that level of success, except for Simon Cowell. It was
completely mad."
