Supernatural UK
It’s October so that means Halloween is just around the corner. The nights are drawing in, there’s a chill in the air and it’s an ideal time to tell each other stories of the supernatural.
The UK for such a small set of Islands has an over abundance of paranormal activity.
Stories abound of ghosts, witches and black magic. A ghostly tale or two is usually to be found in even the smallest village and larger towns and cities have multiple haunted spots.
Castles, mansions, pubs, churches, old houses, airfields and roads are just some of the haunts of various spectres and haunted areas don’t have to be old either.
Our ghosts are not just of the human variety. Spectral dogs, cats, horses and even rabbits have been reported as well as a few coach and horses, motor vehicles and planes.
Many of these places have interesting histories regardless of any ghosts. Quite a few are open to the public, some that aren’t have special open days, others are hotels. Even if you’re not interested in ghosts, these places are full of history and well worth visiting anyway.
Have fun.

Weird UK
The UK has some interesting history and legends as well as lots of paranormal stories.
Ghosts, Poltergeists, UFOs, Mystery Animals, some have claimed to have seen a Big foot like creature too.
I have to admit to being a bit of a sceptic, personally I think there’s a lot of natural phenomena out there that’s unknown or hardly been studied, Ball lightning and Earthquake lights come to mind.
I do like a good ghost story though and many haunted places in the UK have a rich and tragic history, The Tower of London is a famous example, supposedly haunted by many ghosts including a bear.
Go to any area of the UK and you will no doubt come across a ghost story. They are not just confined to buildings either. There are haunted roads, mountains, fields also ghost vehicles, animals and objects. The oddest i’ve come across is a bag of soot haunting a lane in Sussex.
So here is a selection of ghostly news articles from the last few months in the UK.
