Hampton Court Palace is said to be haunted by Henry VIII's wives. Here are 5 eerie stories about the former royal home.

In the early 16th century, the palace was expanded and renovated to be fit for a king, complete with lush gardens, banquet halls, and Henry VIII's state and private apartments. The palace has over 1,390 rooms and is located in East Molesey, Surrey, about an hour outside of London.

Many royals occupied Hampton Court Palace over the years, from Henry VIII to William III and Mary II, George I, and finally George II. George II was the last monarch to use the palace as a royal residence.

Beginning in 1737, Hampton Court became a site for "grace and favor residents," according to Historic Royal Palaces. These residents were mostly aristocrats and their wives who were in need of free accommodation in return for servicing the king. People were granted apartments at Hampton Court up until the 1960s, and elderly residents still reside in some apartments today.

In 1838, Queen Victoria opened the property to visitors. This paved the way for what Hampton Court Palace is today: a destination for visitors and tourists from all over the world who come to marvel at its architecture, impressive art collection, and undeniably eerie past.

According to Historic Royal Palaces, a charity that manages Hampton Court, Jane Seymour has been spotted carrying a lit candle on the Silverstick Stairs. The staircase is located close by to the room where Seymour gave birth to Prince Edward and where she died soon after.

Edward would go on to become king at the age of 9. He died when he was 15 following an illness.

The "Grey Lady" is believed to be Sybil Penn, a former servant at the palace who served as a nurse to both Edward VI and a young Queen Elizabeth I. While nursing Elizabeth I back to health as she suffered from smallpox, Penn is believed to have caught the disease and died.

Catherine was accused of adultery and treason, and she was arrested at Hampton Court in 1541. According to Historic Royal Palaces, she managed to escape the guards and ran through a hall, screaming for the king to be compassionate, but she was apprehended again and ultimately executed at the Tower of London.

Visitors have reported hearing her screams in the hall, which is now known as the Haunted Gallery.

According to Historic Royal Palaces, the graves were found in 1871 during a routine excavation of a cloister in Fountain Court.

The bodies were believed to belong to two men who were killed during the Civil War in the 17th century. After they were properly buried, the disturbances reportedly stopped.

The spooky video showed what appeared to be a ghost opening a fire exit door. According to Historic Royal Palaces, no one has come forward to claim the incident as a prank, so no one knows if the "Skeletor" is the work of a human or a real-life ghost.
