More about this scene

It was in a dungeon below one of these towers that Lady Margaret de Pomeroy starved to death after being imprisoned by her elder sister Eleanor as the result of a dispute over a suitor. Lady Margaret's ghost apparently still haunts the ruins, the harbinger of death for anyone who sees her, or for their relatives.
