Fittleworth mystery

Fittleworth is a picturesque village in Sussex, England, but has more than it's fair share of grim mysteries and paranormal events. Ancient and Medieval buildings including the taverns, Coates Castle and stone bridges over the river, with centuries of history, The place is even mentioned in Beowulf, the epic Anglo Saxon poem. A Roman relic was discovered there and is known as the Fittleworth Iphigenia. 

What strangeness has been happening in modern times is the weird discovery of dead animals found in trees. These corpses were found hung from trees in the woods near residential streets. They include a dead rabbit left on a branch, a dead crow inside a crook of a tree, then further away was a dead woodpecker, and a leg of a deer. It's not known why this happened or why, but residents were very concerned about it. This report was made several years ago and I've not been able to find any updates about this. Were these dead animals offerings? is there a cult? was it caused by predators? or something else? Is there still large snakes and were they responsible? If anyone knows more, please let me know in the comments.

The area is part of a wider region full of folklore in dragons and giant serpents. To find out more about this visit Sussex Dragons and Serpents page HERE

Crookes Valley Park has a haunted lake, although a favourite place for tourists during Summer months. Not only is it spooky at night with the ghost of a girl, but the depths of the water is full of monstrous fish that divers avoid entering it. Some believe these unnatural fish are from scientific experiments by the University.

Bride's Pool, Hong Kong, is a picturesque looking pool of water with a graceful waterfall. Despite its natural beauty, it's haunted by a young woman who tragically died on her way to get married.
