Britons looking for a scare while enjoying the great British outdoors are spoiled for choice. From gardens and parks to cemeteries, Britain is home to some thrilling haunted outdoor spaces.
Cannock Chase, West Midlands
Known as one of the country’s most active paranormal hotspots, Cannock Chase is famous for its werewolf sightings.
The large woodland area is apparently a favourite haunt of a “hairy wolf-type creature”, which has been spotted numerous times.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall
One terrified gardener at the Lost Gardens refuses to lock up alone at night. In the rockery, melon garden and fruit store, gardeners work in pairs to give each other courage.
The amount of staff the Lost Gardens of Heligan lost during the First World War is apparently to blame for the hair raising “atmosphere”.
DON’T MISS
Queen’s Park, Glasgow
The site of the 1568’s Battle of Langside, Queen’s Park is the location of hundreds of deaths.
The dead are still rumoured to linger in the area, with the old soldiers hanging out near the boating lake on the anniversary of the battle every May 13.
Rowton Moor, Chester
Another battle site, the Battle of Rowton Moor took place during the English Civil War in 1645.
One of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War was fought here, and ghost hunters will want to try and find the ghosts of men on horseback still haunting these parts.
Berry Pomeroy, Devon
The Berry Pomeroy Castle is a mystery, as nobody knows what happened to it.
The shell of the building is still standing, however, and it is rumoured to be haunted by a Blue Lady who lures passers-by to their death and a White Lady who haunts the dungeons.
Pluckley Village, Kent
The entire village made it on the Guinness Book of World Records in 1989 for being the most haunted place in Britain.
Ghosts who call this village home include an old woman smoking on a bridge, a hanged schoolmaster, a highwayman and a screaming man.
Highgate Cemetery, London
There are ghosts galore at Highgate, but the most unusual sighting is a vampire, reported to Highgate Express in 1970.
Britons on a visit should look out for a spectral cyclist and a woman in white, among other pale forms and disembodied voices.
Green Park, London
Green Park is a fantastic place for a picnic, but maybe not by the Death Tree.
Anyone falling asleep in the shade of this particular tree will never wake up, according to legends.
Voices, a mysterious black figure and moans have all been reported around the Death Tree.
