Ghost ladies of Dalzell House


 In the picturesque town of Motherwell, UK, there is a very old castle named Dalzell House. It's a home to three ghostly ladies and each of them glows a bright colour. The history of Dalzell House began during the Dark Ages in the year 843 when it had been used for royalty in the hunting season, then became built upon as home of the Dalzell family during the 1400's. In 1645 the earl of Dalzell House passed the estate to his nephew, James Hamilton, and it became the Hamilton residence afterwards. It went through a lot of extensions and restorations over the many years, and the last of the Hamilton's died in 1952 when the castle was made into a boarding school until 1967. It then became property of the local council and a section of it were made into private apartments during the 1980's. It's now a protected historical A listed building. 

The three spirits of Dalzell House are well known and also give the castle it's spooky charm. One is grey, one is green and the other is white. It's worth mentioning that no one knows who these ghosts are, and is anyone's guess. The apparitions appear in different places. The grey lady haunts the north wing of the castle and she wears an old fashioned nurse's uniform. Dalzell House was briefly a military hospital during the First World War and there would've been nurses working there, but the identity of the grey lady spirit is unknown. 

The green lady has been seen in the south wing of the castle. Witnesses have said the green lady ghost appears to have red eyes and smells of spiced flowers. When it was a school, a boy saw the green lady in the Piper's Gallery, and she passed through a wall and floated in front of him. While scared, the boy also claimed the green lady didn't seem malicious or threatening. 

The white lady is seen throughout the castle and in the garden. It's believed she might've been a victim of a tragic love story and was walled up inside the castle or she was so upset that she flung herself from a tower. Some have seen her watching them and she appears looking out of windows or in the grounds during dusk. A certain dog walker was taking photographs and found an eerie spectre in the Peel Tower. The three colourful ghost ladies are a mystery.
