Information on Pluckley
Pluckley is situated just past Charing on the way to Maidstone.
Pluckley is said to be the most haunted village in Britain. It is reputed to have twelve (possible thirteen) ghosts.
These are:
- The spectre of the highwayman speared to a tree at Fright Corner
- A phantom coach and horses, apparently manifesting the vicinity of Maltman's Hill
- The ghost of a Gypsy woman who burned to death in her sleep
- The black ghost of a miller haunting the ruins of a windmill near "The Pinnocks"
- The hanging body of a schoolmaster in Dicky Buss's Lane
- A colonel who hanged himself in Park Wood
- The screaming ghost of a man being smothered by a wall of clay at the brickworks
- The Lady of Rose Court, who is said to have eaten poisoned berries in despair over a love triangle.
- The Phantom Monk of "Greystones", a house built in 1863. There is a suggestion he may have been the unrequited love object of the Lady of Rose Court
- The White Lady of Dering, a young woman apparently buried inside 7 coffins and an oak sarcophagus who haunts the chuchyard of St. Nicholas's Church
- The Red Lady, reputedly an earlier member of the same ancient Dering family who also haunts St Nicholas'. The legend of the Red and White Ladies seem to overlap. A third ghost has apparently also been reported in the same place.
