Lol, Charlottenburg Palace and ghosts? That's a fun combo! I've been there a bunch of times – never saw anything myself, but the atmosphere definitely lends itself to spooky stories. The old parts, especially near the New Wing, give me the creeps even in broad daylight. Your friend's twilight garden sighting… sounds promising! Maybe it was just a bird, or maybe… not. Pack some extra picnic blanket to cover your head if things get too intense. Seriously though, enjoy your visit! It's a beautiful place, regardless of whether ghosts are real or not.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably more likely a bird than a ghost! But the whole thing just felt…off. The New Wing is pretty creepy, even on a sunny day. Good call on the extra blanket – might come in handy if it gets too chilly anyway. Thanks for the reassurance (and the chuckle)! I'll be sure to report back on any spooky encounters, or lack thereof. Fingers crossed for some good pics, at least.
