Haunted village of Pluckley


This is said to be the most haunted creepiest villages in England. Pluckley is a visually beautiful village in Kent, a region in South England, which has been made famous for featuring in TV series "The Darling Buds of May". Despite its picture perfect appearance, it's far from peaceful and quiet. 

The Church of St Nicholas has a tomb for the Dering family, believed to be responsible for a lot of spooky goings on, including eerie lights, manifestations and loud banging. During the 1970's a team of paranormal researchers spent the night locked inside the church with their cameras and recorders. They were only troubled by an aggressive dog outside of the church, who kept barking all of the time, giving them troubled sleep. When the vicar unlocked the door the next morning to let them out, they mentioned this dog and told him to keep it under control, but the vicar told them he doesn't have a dog and there isn't one let inside the grounds at night. 

A monk haunts the large house of Greystones, believed to be the same monk who died of depression after losing his beloved, a young woman who was tragically killed. In the same neighbourhood, another haunted house is Rose Court. Another frightening phantom is the Watercress Lady, who haunts the bridge, often seen screaming in a ball of flames. It's well known that early in the century, an eccentric elderly gypsy woman used to collect watercress from the river. She was killed in an accidental fire, caused by sleeping with a lit clay pipe she often smoked. Sometimes she's seen as a pink glow.

There is a ghost of a highwayman who was killed by soldiers at an oak tree, which itself no longer stands. However, the scene replays with the ghost of swords entering his body as he falls to his death against a ghost tree. Many witnesses have been traumatised by this haunting as it was violent and bloody, showing even the man's screams. It recurs often at a place known as Fright Corner.  

There are many more haunted sites in Pluckley from the Black Horse Inn of so much ghostly activities, to the spooky Screaming Woods, all of which are chilling. It's recent famous haunt was in 2019 when a woman took a photograph of two ghosts watching children playing. One of the ghosts looked like a shadow of a man behind the trees. The other ghost clearly was a girl wearing a long dress, and she was up in a tree.
