Highgate Cemetery - Highgate Dating from 1839 and a very fashionable burial place for Victorians, by the start of the 20th century Highgate marked the spot that tens of thousands of people had been laid to rest in its hallowed grounds. By the 1960's Highgate Cemetery had fallen into neglect and decay. It became a dark and eerie spectacle with tree roots sprouting up and cracking elaborate graves and monuments and grim mausoleums. Stories started circulating of ghostly happenings around the cemetery. One man reported that he saw a hideous and frightening apparition with glowing red eyes, staring at him though the rusty iron gates. Another rumour was that a vampire was frequenting the graveyard. A ghostly cyclist was seen making his way up the hill near the cemetery by a young woman, and a tall man wearing a top hat has also been witnessed walking across the road and promptly disappearing into the cemetery wall. In recent years a ghost of a mad old woman with long hair has been seen among the grave stones. St Mary's Churchyard - Wanstead A horrific figure of a skeleton has been seen pushing a cart through St Mary's Churchyard. It is said that the figure is searching for his long dead wife. Highwayman Dick Turpin also haunts the graves in this cemetery. The spectre of the Highwayman has been seen galloping down the High Road, Loughton, which was one of the areas he would hold-up, and rob his poor unfortunate victims. St. Nicholas Churchyard - Birmingham Witnessed back in 1977, was a ghostly figure of a woman in the graveyard in Cardworth. Described as a tall ghostly figure in a long flowing green gown, she is believed to be the spirit of a woman buried in a mass grave after a battle during the Civil War. |

Lady of Pluckley Church Yard
- Kent The ghost of a 'Red Lady' haunts this churchyard. She wonders the graves sorrowfully seeking her un-christened baby. The ghost is believed to be the spirit of the wife of one of the Derings, lords of the manor of Pluckle. The womn had a child, which for one reason or another died, and was buried hastily, in an unmarked grave. The ghostly form of the Red Lady wanders the churchyard at night, sobbing bitterly, and searching for the grave of her unacknowledged child. Graveyard in Arnos Court - Bristol A Ghostly Lady in all black walks the stones crying because of her dead husband she lost in 1st world war. The ghost has been known to sit and speak to people who are in need of guidance. Another screaming spectre , is said to be a lady who was buried alive, and awoke from her coma to find herself in a coffin and promptly died of shock. Heworth Graveyard Legend has it that at the stroke of midnight that if you run around the grave of three children who where burnt alive in there beds, 12 times, then the ghost children will come and play with you.
