The Bleeding Nun is another spectral figure reported at Hever Castle, adding a more traditionally gothic element to its hauntings. This apparition is described as a nun whose habit is stained with blood, particularly around her chest. She is typically seen in the castle's small chapel or sometimes near the dungeon area. Witnesses describe her holding her hands together in prayer, with blood appearing to trickle from an unseen wound. The story suggests she is the spirit of a nun who was murdered or who met a violent end centuries ago, possibly connected to a local priory or a tragedy within the castle's earlier history. She does not interact with guests but has reportedly given a fright to those who find themselves alone in the chapel and suddenly feel her presence or catch a glimpse of her.
