THE picturesque rural community of Pluckley in Kent holds the dubious title of
Britain’s most haunted village.
With a population of just over 1,000, Pluckley is purportedly home to at least
15 ghosts – making it a top destination for Haunting Nights
Pluckley is in the Guinness Book of records as it is reputed to be the most haunted village in Britain. It is reputed to have twelve (possibly thirteen or fourteen) ghosts. Some of these are:
- The spectre of the highwayman hid in a tree at the Pinnock
- A phantom coach and horses has been seen in several locations around the village
- The ghost of a Gypsy woman who drowned in a stream at the Pinnock
- The miller has been seen at Mill Hill
- The hanging body of a schoolmaster in Dicky Buss’s Lane
- A colonel who hanged himself in Park Wood
- A man smothered by a wall of clay who drowned at the brickworks
- The Lady of Rose Court, who is said to have poisoned herself in despair over a love triangle
- The White Lady, a young woman apparently buried inside 7 coffins and an oak sarcophagus who haunts St Nicholas’s Church
- The Red Lady, reputedly a member of the Dering family who haunts the churchyard of St Nicholas’s Church. A small white dog has also been reported in the same location
With so much history and haunted locations to pick from the team can’t wait to get there!!
