Whoa.

It’s no secret that the British royal family owns some extremely old real estate, with certain residences dating back hundreds of years. But did you know that a historian says nearly every property is haunted…and no one seems to care?

Paranormal historian Richard Felix shared rare details about the British royal family in the documentary The King of UFOs, which is now streaming on Apple TV+. The expert claimed that ghost sightings and paranormal activity are normal occurrences within palace walls. 

“All of their properties have ghosts in them and they know it and have witnessed it,” he said in the doc (according to Tatler).

Felix went on to list several examples of alleged ghost sightings. “The late queen saw her namesake Queen Elizabeth in the library at Windsor Castle,” he explained. “The king has seen the same ghost and his grandfather George VI saw Queen Elizabeth eight times in the library before the start of the second World War.”

The historian continued, “They live with their ghosts because people do. Most people aren’t afraid of ghosts when they are in their houses, they just accept them.”

He said even Prince William knows about the ghost sightings. Last year, Felix sat down for an interview with A Right Royal Podcast and revealed that Prince William was warned about the country home he shares with wife Kate Middleton, Anmer Hall. 

Felix said, “Before the Waleses moved in, they were warned about the ghost and the comment was—I presume it was from Prince William—‘No old hall would be complete without a ghost, would it?’”

I have to disagree, Prince William.
