Two British girls aged 12, claim to have captured a ghost on
camera while visiting the Hampton Court. Hampton Court is believed to be
haunted by the ghost of the Grey Lady, Dame Sybil Penn, who was a servant and
nurse in the royal court. She died in 1562 after succumbing to smallpox.
The outbreak of smallpox at the time affected many people
including Queen Elizabeth 1 and Prince Edward. Sybil Penn looked after Queen
Elizabeth throughout her sickness up to her death.

The school girls who captured the ghost on an iphone camera,
Holly Hampsheir and Brook McGee, only discovered this freaking incident when
they were going through their pictures, the following day. In three of the
pictures taken by the girls, the ghost of Sybil Penn is seen hovering on the
back of one of the girls and disappearing when she turns around.

It is rumoured that the place turns cold when a ghost is present,
but the unexpected pictures have given the girls sleepless nights.
This is not the first time that a ghost has been sighted at
the Hampton Court Palace, the ghost of Sybil Penn was seen in 1829 when her
grave was relocated to make way for the re-construction of the church. The
palace is also said to be haunted by the ghost of Catherine Howard who was
executed by Henry VIII in 1541 for adultery.
Sybil Penn’s ghost has been roaming the palace for over 200
years since the removal of the tomb. The Hampton Court has been the residence
of the British Royal family for over half a century.
