Ilustration Conducive To Books Haunted Kent (Images Of England) (Images Of England)
This is another volume in the Haunted Places series from The History Press.As I’ve recently moved out from urban Kent to more rural Kent I was intrigued to find out if I had any haunted sites near me.
Some of the stories may be apocryphal but given Kent’s collection of ancient houses, forts, castles, theatres etc but not all the stories can be mere imagination. The book is illustrated with black and white photos which made Greatness Cemetery which is walking distance from me look spooky and eerie. It certainly felt like that when I visited on a grey, wet day. The road on which it lies, Seal Road, is reputedly haunted but I don’t fancy wandering along it at dead of night to find out for myself.
Kent may well be called ‘The Garden of England.’ But it also has a less bucolic reputation. Smugglers, wreckers, deflowered servant girls and sacrificed infants are amongst many other reputed spooks.
There are some familiar stories such as Nell of Canterbury Cathedral’s Dark Entry, Blue bell Hill and the Theatre Royal Margate but there were several that were new to me.
