PALACE GHOSTS

Queen Silvia of Sweden, 73, says that Drottningholm Palace where she resides is haunted. “There are small friends... ghosts,” she said. “They’re all very friendly but you sometimes feel that you’re not completely alone. It’s really exciting, but you don’t get scared.” The palace was built in the 1600s on Lovon Island in Stockholm, and is the permanent residence of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. Princess Christina, the king’s sister, backs the claims of haunting. [AFP] 3 Jan 2016.
