Hello, yes I,ve been to thetford castle mound a few times. Its great fun, also i took a photo of my friends wail i was there and have caputerd a ghost in the back ground. theres also a very bright light, which my friends and I did not see at the time. This has changed me to believe there are ghost, definitely! Go and have a look for your self, and dont forget to take your digital camera.
