A haunted castle might sound like something out of an episode of Scooby Doo, but real-life crew members on the new Indiana Jones movie are seriously s-s-spooked at the prospect of filming at Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland.
In the next few weeks, Hollywood icon Harrison Ford and the rest of the cast are set to arrive at the property, which is said to be the most haunted castle in Britain. We’re not sure what metric has been used to measure how haunted the property is compared to other ghoulish hotspots, but members of the film’s production team seem very apprehensive about the prospect of spending time there.
An insider told The Sun, "It sounds silly but before filming even starts, all any of us are talking about is the ghost. It’s a seriously creepy place."
The castle in North East England is rumoured to be home to the ghostly Pink Lady, who supposedly patrols the corridors. No, it’s not the ghost of one of the more expensive apples in your local supermarket, but apparently the spectre of a woman who threw herself from the top of the castle during the Middle Ages when her lover left her.
"A surprising number of the crew really believe in this stuff and it’s rattled everyone. A number of the team are reluctant to even go into the oldest part of the castle, it’s really shaken them up,” the source said.
Regardless of the Pink Lady’s potential presence, the production of the film is a big deal for the British film industry as it continues to recover from the impact of Covid-19. “It’s a major priority for the studio so it needs to get going – ghosts or not,” the insider confirmed. "The team will have to overcome it, even if some of them want to avoid certain places."
At this stage, there aren’t many details about the new film, in terms of its title or plot, but we do know that Harrison Ford will be joined on screen by Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Whether she’ll deliver acerbic one-liners directly to the camera or fall for a hot Priest remains unclear, but we think it unlikely!
