Pluckley

We hear of a lot of haunted houses, but haunted villages? They’re a rarity. But Pluckley in Kent is one of them. It’s even in the Guiness Book of Records for its unique status. No less than twelve ghosts are said to haunt its houses, pubs, and streets. One of these ghosts is referred to as The Red Lady (even in death people are polite to her) who haunts the local churchyard. It’s said that she has a white dog with her, so at least she’s not lonely. There’s also the hanging ghost of an old schoolmaster, a woman who is said to have poisoned herself over lost love, and even a phantom horse and carriage! If you fancy trying to hunt down these ghosts over a weekend, you can stay at Pluckley Pad B&B and dine at the ominously-named Black Horse, a traditional English pub.
