Fort St. Catherine

St. George's · Bermuda · Fort

Fort St. Catherine was first raised in 1614 on the headland where Bermuda's first shipwrecked colonists came ashore, and is the island's oldest and largest fort. For generations, a ghost known only as George is said to have haunted the lower chambers – visitors and staff have heard footsteps, murmuring and droning chants from the dark. George eventually became such a nuisance that exasperated Bermudians had an exorcism performed at the fort in the 1970s. It does not seem to have worked: to this day visitors report strange sounds from the old casemates.
