The pretty English village that is the most haunted place in Britain
Pluckley is in the Guinness Book of records as it is reported to be the most haunted village in England - with at least 12 ghosts.
A quaint village in the Kent countryside holds the record for being the most haunted place in the country. Pluckley, which is seven miles from Ashford, is home to at least a dozen ghosts, and possibly even more.
Among the spectres that stalk the village are a highwayman that hides in a tree, the hanging body of a schoolmaster in Dicky Buss's Lane and a Gypsy woman who drowned in a stream at the Pinnock. The churchyard of St Nicholas' Church is said to be visited by The Red Lady. While a small white dog has also been reported in the same location.
Travel writer Richard Jones said despite the village’s ghostly reputation it is a "pretty, picturesque place".

He said: "There are a number of spots around the village that have a distinct "feel" to them, and several of these haunted places are connected to the Dering family, Lords of the manor from the 15th century until World War I."
Among the village's haunted locations is Fright Corner, where a highwayman is said to have met a gruesome end. Mr Jones added: "He was, so the story goes, pursued across the fields by the forces of law and order, and made his last stand with his back to an oak tree that stood here until quite recently.
"He put up a tremendous and spirited fight, but was finally overpowered and run-through with the cold sharp steel of several swords."

The village's website states: "The parish church of St Nicholas is Grade 1 listed and has its origins in Anglo-Saxon times. There are more than sixty further listed properties in the parish."
