In late December of 2003, security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, a huge tudor castle near London, captured a startling image. Security guards were unsettled to repeatedly find a fire door open when no one was apparently around. Upon checking the security tape, they were shocked by a ghostly figure, closely resembling King Henry VIII (who died in the 1500s).

Vikki Wood, a spokesperson for the Palace, said “We’re baffled too–it’s not a joke, we haven’t manufactured it. We genuinely do not know who it is or what it is.”

 A security officer, James Faukes, called the incident “unnerving,” and said they’d ruled out their costumed guides. In fact, they don’t even own a costume like the one worn by the figure on the video. “It was incredibly spooky because the face just didn’t look human,” Faukes said.
