Do you believe in ghosts? Ever been to a 'haunted' place? These things have always intrigued me, and I hope you as well.
This is Pendersick Castle in the UK. I learned about it from watching a program on TV.
This castle in west Cornwall is believed to be one of the most haunted places in the UK. To find out about it's history, click on these links:

If you find other links and learn even more, that is great! Use what you found out in your entry.
For this contest, I want you to write about the castle. Begin your poem with this line: There was once a castle in Cornwall. All entries MUST begin this way!
Free-verse, rhyme, or story form is accepted.
Any questions? Just ask!
Please help make my 100th contest the best one yet! So I hope I have given you some inspiration.
