The Falling Blue Figure
Spofforth Castle, Harrogate
Spofforth Castle stands like a ghostly sentinel over the rolling Yorkshire countryside. Its ruined towers seem to stretch up to the sky, as if beckoning in the brave and the curious. But beware, for this castle holds a dark and inexplicable secret. At the peak of one of its towers, a strange and terrifying sight has been reported: the top half of a blue figure, hovering momentarily before plummeting to the ground below. The image is fleeting, but the impact is lasting.
