Glamis Castle in Tayside and it is certainly one of the most popular in the UK, and Scotland in particular, to be depicted in that it is not known whether legend or fantasy, stories of curses and ghosts and segregated have followed over the centuries and rooted so as to reach us by fans and to read them. Now we will see, in particular, starting from what is believed to have been the beginning of everything.
There is no evidence to what I am about to write, but according to legend all began when the castle had still to be built.
In the tenth century Macbeth killed his cousin, then King of Scotland, Duncan I (murder reported by Shakespeare among others) will be built exactly to the place where later the castle, although this theory is opposed by the historians who claim that this was actually a bit 'to the north. A little later, another King of Scotland, Malcolm II, was killed inside the castle, so that his blood formed a huge stain on the floor that no more gate, it is still clearly visible, although any new owner has tried all kinds of detergent: the evening the stain is gone, the morning is back in its place, the same as it was the same as before!
Many believe, however, that the source the unfortunate and troubled history of the castle is linked to Sir John Lyon, who in 1372 bought the castle of Glamis. It is said that in his previous home owned a cup that, according to legend, was absolutely not be moved from where he was, otherwise terrible misfortunes that would cut down on the ancestry of the person who would dare groped a similar gesture. Sir Lyon, of course unaware of these rumors, he took the cup in his new home and from then on for generations and generations, the people of Glamis occur mysterious and horrible deaths, including Sir John, 11 years after moving to Glamis, died in a duel.
In the seventeenth century was inherited by Count Patrick Glamis Strathmore (which legend will be a violent person, consumed by the game and often drunk) about him circulated two sinister legends, perhaps linked to the secret of his famous family, this terrible secret that is said to have been handed down to each male descendant of the family on the day of the twenty-first birthday, and mystery that years later has never been revealed, so that you do not even know how old it is.
Back to the two legends of Count Patrick.
The first said that he had locked up with a massive lock her in a secret room a child born deformed (a monstrosity) in 1800, to keep it away from prying eyes until the day of his death. Until now, the secret room has never been found even if one of the most experienced ghost hunters (Peter Underwood) swore in its existence and said it was built around 1684. This story, however, is linked to two other gruesome stories set in the secret chambers (not sure if it's just one room or more than one).
The second says that Patrick, avid player, has lost its soul by playing cards with the devil and was subsequently forced to play cards for eternity locked in this room, from where the voice that still you can hear the sound of nuts that slide on the table. It is also said that prior to this story the count, forced to accommodate (the hospitality at the time was almost a requirement) a clan that sought refuge from the attack of another clan, the poor locked in a room and forgot about it, and that this leads to death from hunger have come to eat each other to bite and tear their flesh.
The confirmation of the existence of these secret chambers gave the guests of the fourteenth Earl of Strathmore, who organized a party at the castle. Guests come to their knowledge of legends, hung at each of the windows of the castle and a sheet with their great surprise, once you get off in the garden, they noticed that some windows do not hung the piece of cloth (some versions of this story windows without sheet would be from 7 to 12) but, back in to try to find the so-called secret rooms, not ever find.
