More on the ghost dog in the Ice Tower

I found out some more details about the ghost dog in the Ice Tower this week. The student who had the experience told my friend Elaine that it happened last year while she was visiting the castle with some friends. She went up into the Ice Tower ahead of them on her own.They came running up the stairs when she started screaming. She was shouting, "Get it off me! Get it off me!" When the friends rushed into the Ice Tower room they asked her, "Get what off you?" She said it was something warm pressing on her leg, like a dog. I wonder if it is the same dog which other people have felt pressing against their leg, like the visitor in the Library, or the room steward in the Slate Bedroom? Perhaps it wanders around and chooses people at random to lean on! I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience there? Please let me know if you have felt a dog leaning on you at Penrhyn or if you have heard of anyone else who has. Thanks.

Ghost dog in the Ice Tower

Last Friday I taught 60 students aged 16-18 from a school near Chester about the history and architecture of Penrhyn Castle. One of the girls told another Learning Assistant that when she came to visit the castle a few years ago she went into the Ice Tower. While she was in the tower she felt something warm pressing against her leg. It felt like a dog. She did not see it but felt it quite clearly. I will find out more on this story and add further details when I get them. The students were very curious to know if there are any ghosts at the castle so I directed them to this website. I hope that they enjoyed their day with us and that if any of them have had any supernatural experiences at the castle they will share them on here.
