Norwegian royal and ‘clairvoyant’ claims that the ghost of Hitler’s SS commander during the German occupation of Norway would appear and try to strangle her. A princess has said she was haunted by the ghost of a Nazi SS general who shot himself in her childhood palace bedroom. Princess Martha Louise, of Norway , said the phantom fascist would appear and try to strangle her.

She believes the spectre was Waffen SS general Wilhelm Rediess, who lived in the royal family’s Skaugum Castle during the German occupation of Norway in World War II. Rediess, Adolf Hitler’s right-hand man in Norway, killed himself on May 8 1945 rather than face justice when Germany surrendered to Allied forces..
