"When the Norwegians (who ruled what was then Denmark-Norway) captured James Hepburn, the Earl of Bothwell, in the mid-1500s, they imprisoned him at Dragsholm Castle. The isolation drove Hepburn mad, and he was ultimately tied to a pillar and left to die. To this day, his spirit cannot leave the estate. Guests sometimes see him riding horseback through the grounds at night. He is accompanied by the White Lady, believed to be the ghost of Celina Bovles, a young girl who was imprisoned by her father in the castle's dungeon after becoming pregnant before marriage. During a 1930s renovation, workers supposedly found a skeleton in a white dress within the castle's walls. Many believe it to have been the remains of Celina." - Travel + Leisure Editors
