During my best friends visit, i took them to the land of grace, Ipoh. Our first stop was at Kellie’s Castle.
If you never heard before about Kellie’s Castle it is well known for being haunted. How haunted is it ? Well i’ve heard stories but don’t how true it is so it’s better off thinking it’s just another tourist attraction. Kellie’s Castle (sometimes also called Kellie’s Folly) is located near Batu Gajah, and is about 20 minutes’ drive from Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. The unfinished, ruined mansion, was built by a Scottish planter called William Kellie Smith. According to differing accounts, it was either a gift for his wife or a home for his son.

There are notices around the castle asking you to be careful. They didn’t have the notices few years ago. I guess now by putting the notice it makes the castle scarier.
This is the famous corridor. It is believed that Kellie’s spirit still wonders about at this corridor in the night. Careful when you take pictures at night here! You might see something you don’t want to see…..
Popular movies stars from Hong Kong like Leon Lai and Shu Qi has filmed in the castle, in fact in this very room.
This is the stairs to the basement and it’s pitch black. It used to be a wine cellar… a lot of people gets freaked out walking down here.. I don’t know why.
The girls were making their way down i am just right behind them. Moment later… AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
SNAP! And there they were, running out of the cellar shouting. This is taken in the pitch black wine cellar when she extended her hand to snap the picture then ran screaming out. I thought what happen?! GOTCHA! all of us started laughing. Thinking back about it.. makes me laugh again! Haha!
Signs like this within the castle gives you the creeps. As if something will happen.
But nothing happened. *whistles*
On the roof top, girls be careful now… you jump i jump! ^_^
This is the last place we snapped pictures and we’re starting to feel hungry so off we go to stuff our face!
