Bowes Castle
Sadly, little more than the keep remains of this castle, and as a result this is only a short film! Don't be put off by this, though as the castle is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Bowes Castle Investigation part 1 of 3
The First session from the summer investigation at Bowes Castle in County Durham.
Bowes is an interesting castle, set as it is in the NW corner of the Roman Fort of Lavatris - itself said to have a ghostly Roman procession of Legionaries returning to dig up their buried looted gold
Within the castle there are many spirits, perhaps the most commonly reported is the White Lady on the stairs, less reported is the Victorian Colonel or the man who hanged himself in the ruin

North East Paranormal Society Uk - EVP Caught at Bowes Castle
Listen to this amazing EVP caught in Bowes castle.
Dave Phil and Josh were present, with very slight wind, but no other noise pollution. Just after Phil asks if the spirit wanted them to leave, you hear a very clear response around 56 seconds, although nothing was heard during the recording. — at Bowes Castle
Bowes Silver Swan
Dating from 1773, the Silver Swan is a masterpiece of clockwork and engineering. The musical accompaniment plays as the swan preens itself, takes a fish from the running water and swallows it. It's run once a day at the Bowes Museum, County Durham in the UK.

Hiking England: Pennine Way - Part 12, Bowes Loop
Leaving from Bowes I explore the castle, a late 12th century keep and give some history on its use. I follow the Bowes Loop portion of the Pennine Way over the hills on an extremely windy day before seeking refuge in a shelter. Returning to Bowes I once again look at the castle and give some more history.

Silver Swan - Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle
This musical automaton is much loved and over the last century has become the icon of The Bowes Museum. The Silver Swan dates from 1773 and was first recorded in 1774 as a crowd puller in the Mechanical Museum of James Cox, a London showman and dealer. The internal mechanism is by John Joseph Merlin, a famous inventor of the time.
It was one of the many purchases that the Bowes' made from Parisian jeweller M. Briquet, with John paying £200 for it in 1872. John and Joséphine Bowes first saw the swan at the 1867 Paris International Exhibition where jeweller Harry Emanuel exhibited it.
The swan is life-size and is controlled by three separate clockwork mechanisms. The Silver Swan rests on a stream made of twisted glass rods interspersed with silver fish. When the mechanism is wound up, the glass rods rotate, the music begins, and the Swan twists its head to the left and right and appears to preen its back. It then appears to sight a fish in the water below and bends down to catch it, which it then swallows as the music stops and it resumes its upright position. This performance lasts approximately 40 seconds.
John and Joséphine Bowes founded The Bowes Museum. John, the son of the 10th Earl of Strathmore, was born in Teesdale in 1811. His mother was a commoner, Mary Millner, who lived with the Earl to all intents as his wife for many years. The Earl married her just 16 hours before his death in an attempt to save his son's succession. Two very long court cases ensued, finally settling the Durham estates on John, but not recognising him as the legitimate heir to the Strathmore title.
John was educated at Eton and became a very successful business man who invested heavily in the coal reserves on his land and bred four Derby winners. From 1847 he spent his time between France and England.
Joséphine Bowes was born in 1825. She was an actress in the Théatre des Variétés, Paris, which John Bowes owned. She shared John's love of the arts and they married in 1852.
