The ghost of Queen Anne Boleyn is a unique phenomenon in the paranormal world. Unlike most ghosts tied to a single location, her spirit is said to haunt multiple sites across the UK. This enduring presence is likely due to the profound impact of her life and her traumatic execution over 500 years ago.
Anne Boleyn was the second wife of King Henry VIII, a marriage that dramatically altered English history. To marry Anne, Henry broke from the Roman Catholic Church after being denied a divorce from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, establishing himself as the head of a new Church of England.
Henry's primary desire was for a male heir. Anne gave birth to a daughter, the future Queen Elizabeth I, in 1533. After this, their relationship deteriorated, and Henry turned his attentions to Jane Seymour. Although Anne became pregnant again, the child was stillborn. Determined to be rid of her, Henry had Anne arrested on charges of treason and confined to the Tower of London. She was executed on May 19, 1536.
Anne Boleyn is one of the most famous ghosts at the Tower of London, where she is buried. Her apparition has been spotted near her tomb and standing at a window in Windsor Castle's Dean's Cloister.
Her most dramatic haunting occurs at Blickling Hall in Norfolk. Legend describes her arriving in a phantom carriage drawn by headless horses, driven by a headless coachman. Anne herself is headless, cradling her severed head. She glides into the hall to wander its corridors until dawn. Blickling Hall, built on the ruins of the Boleyn family estate, is now considered one of England's most haunted buildings.
On the same night, her brother, Lord Rochford, also appears headless, dragged across the countryside by four headless horses. Their father, Sir Thomas Boleyn, who testified against Anne, is condemned to eternally drive his spectral coach over twelve bridges as penance.

安妮·博林王后的幽灵是超自然世界中一个独特的现象。与大多数困于单一地点的幽灵不同,据说她的魂魄在英国多地出没。这种经久不散的存在,很可能源于她生前深远的影响以及五百多年前那场创伤性的处决。
安妮·博林是国王亨利八世的第二任妻子,这场婚姻极大地改变了英国历史。为了迎娶安妮,亨利在请求与第一任妻子阿拉贡的凯瑟琳离婚被拒后,脱离了罗马天主教会,自立为英格兰新教会的首脑。
亨利最主要的愿望是得到一个男性继承人。1533年,安妮生下了一个女儿,即未来的伊丽莎白一世女王。此后,他们的关系恶化,亨利将注意力转向了简·西摩。虽然安妮再次怀孕,但孩子夭折了。亨利决意除掉安妮,以叛国罪将她逮捕并囚禁于伦敦塔。她于1536年5月19日被处决。
安妮·博林是伦敦塔最著名的幽灵之一,她的遗体就安葬于此。有人曾目睹她的幽灵出现在其坟墓附近,以及温莎城堡教务长回廊的窗前。
她最戏剧性的显灵发生在诺福克的 Blickling Hall。传说中,她乘坐一辆由无头马匹拉着的幽灵马车到来,驾车者也是一位无头车夫。安妮本人也无头,怀中抱着自己被斩下的首级。她飘入大厅,在走廊中游荡直至黎明。Blickling Hall 建在博林家族旧宅的遗址上,如今被认为是英格兰闹鬼最凶的建筑之一。
在同一天晚上,她的兄弟罗奇福德勋爵也会以无头形态出现,被四匹无头马拖着穿过乡野。他们的父亲托马斯·博林爵士曾在审判中指证安妮有罪,因此被罚永世驾驶他的幽灵马车,驶过十二座桥梁以作赎罪。
