Pluckley Village

Highlight • Settlement

In the Guinness Book of Records (1989), Pluckley earned the record for ‘Most Haunted Village in England’ as it reportedly had 12 ghosts. While the record category is no longer used by Guinness, the village remains a hotspot — or coldspot, rather — for fans of everything paranormal. Ghosts aside, the village has a pub that serves food, a shop, accommodation, and a pretty Grade I-listed church.

Some of the ghosts said to haunt the village include: a phantom coach and horses (spotted in several locations); the ghost of a Gypsy woman who drowned in a stream at the Pinnock; the hanging body of a schoolmaster in Dicky Buss’s Lane; the Lady of Rose Court, who poisoned herself in despair over a love triangle; and the Red Lady, who haunts the churchyard.
