Which Haunted Castle would you go to? Who and what would you bring?

Question

Edinburgh Castle in Scotland- This magnificent castle is typically medieval, perched atop a rocky crag, giving it an amazing vista of Scottish hills. But inside the empty halls and narrow streets of Edinburgh, there are the echoes of the dead. At least, that's what has been reported. Hot spots for specters include the castle's prison cells, the South Bridge vaults and Mary's King Close, a disused street used to quarantine and eventually entomb victims of the plague. There are also reports of ghost dogs, a headless drummer, and the bodies of prisoners taken during the French seven-year war and the American War of Independence. In fact, there was such a glut of reports that in 2001, a scientific research team headed by Dr. Richard Wiseman, a psychologist from the University of Hertfordshire, set out to find quantitative proof.

Bran Castle in Transylvania- In a remote corner of Carpathian Mountains in Romania, the tale of Count Dracula played out. The legend of the count dates back to the 15th century, and is based on Prince Vlad Tepes (Vlad, the Impaler) or Vlad Dracula (Vlad, son of the Dragon), a ruthless defender of Christianity. The Count is best known for routing an army of 20,000 attacking Ottomans, and impaling them, rectum to sternum, in surrounding forests. In this bastion of gothic architecture it is possible to retrace the journey of Bram Stoker's vampire hunter, Jonathan Harker, along the Bargau Pass and up to Dracula's infamous Bran Castle.
 
Brissac Castle Loire Valley, France- This particular castle is as ornate and indulgent as French castles get. With seven floors and over two hundred rooms, no expense was spared for this Loire Valley marvel when it was rebuilt in 1633. Ceilings are painted with gold and the tapestry collection is breathtaking, as is the wood-carved furniture and columns made of glass crystal. It wouldn't be a bad place to live, except for the fact that it's haunted by the ghost of Jacques de Breze's wife, Charlotte, and her lover. Both were assassinated, and Jacque de Breze sold the castle right after their deaths. Legend has it he couldn't stand the nighttime moaning of the ghost lovers, while he slept alone.

I'd like to visit Leap Castle in Roscrea, Ireland (sorry it wasn't on your list).  Iit was built in the 14th or 15th century to guard the pass from Slieve Bloom into Munster.  This fortress is considered Ireland's most haunted castle, haunted by the type of spirit called an "elemental". It is a frighting and horrifying apparition, it's hauntings bring on an overwhelming sense of dread and deep rooted fear.  Those who have experienced it describe a hideous looking "thing" with almost human looking eyes and reeks of the most ghastly odor.

If not a castle, I would really like to spend the night at Greyfriars Graveyard in Edinburgh, Scotland.  In 1679, the Covenanters battled Charles II (Charles I's son)'s forces at Bothwell Bridge on the River Clyde. They found themselves outnumbered and were easily defeated. More than a thousand of them were taken prisoner and returned to Edinburgh. As the prisons in the city did not have room for such a high number of new inmates, they were imprisoned in an area of land by Greyfriars Graveyard.

They had no shelter and little food. As they spent a whole winter imprisoned in that place, many of them died. Still more were publicly executed. These people were buried in Greyfriars, and the Martyr's Monument can be seen in the kirkyard today, a memorial for the Covenanters. Some were set free, on the condition that they signed a contract promising they would never raise arms against their King again. Some refused, still faithful until the end.

I would like to take my husband, daughter, son, and other members of our Pagan temple.  If we couldn't scare something or someone up, doubt anyone can.  We'd need flashlights, digital cameras, digital recorders, and other 'ghost hunting' equipment as well as water.
