A GHOSTLY girl snapped at a ruined castle could be the spirit of a Countess who lived there, experts said last night.

A photo of the building showed the mystery figure at a window - as The Sun revealed yesterday.

Researchers think the spectre is Winifred, Countess of Dundonald.

She inherited Gwrych Castle - hailed as one of Britain's most haunted sites - in 1894.



Locals in Abergele, North Wales, believe she fell out with caretaker Bill Price and haunted him after she died in 1924.

Bill would lock up the library at night only to find it opened next morning. Items had been mysteriously moved.

Ghost author Mark Baker, who founded Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust, said: "Mr Price and the Countess did not get on terribly well.

"Maybe their problem continued past the grave."

However, former photographer Harry Moffitt, 76, believes the ghost is a servant girl who died falling off a horse on the estate.

He saw the apparition on a visit to the castle 60 years ago and said: "I remember it vividly."

Company boss Kevin Horkin, 48, took the spooky snap of the castle - derelict since 1985 - but only realised there was a figure at the first-floor window later.

Floorboards beneath the window rotted away years ago, making it impossible for any human to stand there.
