Berry Pomeroy Castle

Two brothers leapt off from the walls,
The castle under siege one night;
An evil place, it boasts two ghosts,
The ladies dressed in blue and white:
A sister slowly starved to death,
Her pretty looks her only crime;
Abusive father killed his girl,
And then her children, too, in time.
