Pluckley

That would have been a cooler story, a much cooler story.

Okay, this next ghost story is from William H. and it's Smarden Road, Pluckley.

And William says, we live in a rural village, Pluckley, which is well known for having a plethora of ghosts.

I don't put much stock into those stories.

I think they were mostly made up to try and bring people and tourists to the businesses here.

This next story has been spoken by Alan, who wrote the book.

So I guess it's a story from his point of view.

And it's The Black Horse Pluckley.

We are talking a village with thousands, bearing in mind, thousands of ghostly sightings.

And that place... is Pluckley.

Now, on the surface, Pluckley is absolutely beautiful.

It has stunning countryside.

It has old timber-framed cottages.

A nice, quiet country lanes.

Well, That is until it gets dark.

Pluckley became famous for having 12 residential spirits, allegedly.

However, despite his good deed, he felt his life was in danger since he spoke out.

He said he had to move to a house in Pluckley, a village in Ashford, which cost him his marriage.

De Cabral gave a few interviews in the months after the trial.

Still, he said, giving evidence against Kenny Noy had a devastating effect on my life, to the Telegraph.

Although she remained, she also found out that he had a nine-year-old daughter by the same woman.

Alan pledged that he wanted to turn his life around.

He even purchased the house in Pluckley, determined to rid himself of the friends and trappings he associated with drugs.

Believing him, Anne-Marie once more continued living with him, until a holiday in Spain in the same year, when she caught him again using cocaine.

That was until October last year.

For people in Kent who are interested in this sort of stuff, Pluckley is the pinnacle of places to go and visit.

It has a huge reputation of being haunted and has been featured in the Guinness Book of Records as the most haunted village in Kent.

Based on this, we decided to spend the day visiting the different haunted sites.

We even bumped into a group of other people who were doing the exact same thing as us.

Unfortunately, we didn't see anything remotely paranormal.

We had a quick bite to eat in the Black Horse Pub, another haunted location, and then headed out of Pluckley.

The group we had spoken to earlier in the day had told us about another place that would be good to visit.

But we want to touch upon quite a few places that we can do deeper dives into, some that we've already visited that we want to revisit as well.

So let's move on to Pluckley Village in Kent.

Years ago we spoke to Hayley Stevens.

That's right.

There's Fright's Corner, a Screaming Man, a White Lady, Red Lady, a Lady of Rose Court, a Watercress Woman, and lots of haunted churches and haunted pubs, haunted by poltergeists and various spirits.

And we got to visit quite a few of these places.

Pluckley's a little village, smaller than it used to be, but still quite big.

And, yeah, Matt, anything you wanted to say about Pluckley?
