Chester claims to be Britain's most haunted city with more ghosts per square mile than any other! The basis for these claims being that after the Romans left, Chester became home to successive waves of Celts, Vikings, Saxons and Normans and so has seen every 'high and low of human existence: joy and jubilation, famine, floods, plague and war'. It's not surprising then, that within Chester's walls, there are a host of ghosts, hauntings and poltergeists spanning across two millennia.

For example the ancient footfalls of Roman legionary regularly heard in the George and Dragon pub on the course of a Roman road leading from the Northgate, or Porta Decumana. Another at the Old Bishops Palace - a spirit of cruelly treated Victorian bootboy moves shoes and boots around large Georgian house. The list goes on...

Not too sure whether I believe in this sort of thing to be honest, but it certainly makes for interesting reading. Has anyone else got any 'haunted' places to add?

Not too sure if I believe in all this sort of thing.

Apparently, once a year on the anniversary of her execution Anne Boleyn is seen travelling in a carriage up the drive to the front of Blickling Hall in Norfolk with her severed head in her lap. The carriage is pulled by headless horses and driven by a headless horseman! The carriage disappears when it reaches Blickling Hall leaving the ghost of Anne Boleyn alone at the entrance. Sweet dreams everybody. Woooohhhhhooooaaaa!!!

wow that sounds scary. Who thinks we should send our editor to Parsonage Wood for Halloween?

I don't think we'd be that cruel. Maybe just send him in there for an hour or two?

...and that would be a shame!!
