(* = 'Screeching like Girls' is just trying to be funny. No offence to any real girls. In fact, two people in this picture are even real girls.)
This is inside one of the dungeons that were used for solitary confinement. Back in the days, the tides used to bring water into the Castle. Today, land has been reclaimed and the ocean is now 1.5 kilometres away. But even in the times of confining prisoners the cell used to get damp and they'd often get sick. There were always cockroaches and shit like that too. Often the prisoners would go mad, tring to escape the bugs, and run around blindly. They did this with full knowledge that there was a pit in the centre, 10m deep and with sea water at the bottom. Needless to say, there were quite a few who fell in.
The tour guides take you into a dungeon and offer you the chance to stay in for a minute while they close the door. Then you can't see a THING. Your hand right in front of your face isn't even visible! VERY scary. I don't wanna be a prisoner!
