Hampton Court Palace CCTV appears to show doors moving while a period-dressed figure stands in the doorway, earning the nickname “Skeletor”.
The brief
At Edinburgh’s Greyfriars Kirkyard, the episode traces reports of attacks around Bloody Mackenzie’s tomb to the site’s history and the Covenanters Prison.
Witnesses and investigators describe cold blasts, scratches, unexplained movements, and physical assaults, while barriers around the tomb reflect the belief that danger remains.
At Hampton Court Palace, CCTV captures doors opening and closing as a period-dressed figure appears in a doorway; staff cannot identify it.
The palace image becomes widely known as “Skeletor,” turning an unresolved recording into a durable paranormal mystery shaped by publicity and interpretation.
A fragmented final montage names subjects including the Smiling Man, number stations, Project Stargate, and dark watchers, but does not develop them.
