- Ghost Stories from Pluckley - Is it still haunted?. In 1989, Pluckey in Kent gained an entry into the Guiness Book of World Records as being the most haunted village in Britain. I take a walk around this quaint English village and seek out the locations of some of the hauntings. Will I freak myself out?
It is said that bewteen 12 to 15 ghost sightings have been confirmed over the years. Do you have your own ghost story of Pluckey? Drop me a comment in the video description.

I have lived in Pluckley for 25 years and can honestly say I’ve never seen anything remotely ghostly. What I have experienced is strangers trespassing on my property at unholy hours, vandalism, rubbish and human waste scattered in the so called screaming woods, illegal raves, camping and fires, many cars planted in the hedgerows as a result of speeding and needles and condoms strewn around the woodland car park.
That’s the truth about haunted Pluckey I’m afraid. It’s a real shame what people do!
That was a funny read that was 😂
Well, girls just wanna have fun!
!!!.... now i REALLY want to go! lol
I saw ghost of my great-grandma. It was in 2015 I think. Me and my girlfriend sleep and I awake from very cold in room. It was at May, but I feel it like at freezing like at winter really. I awake and check my window, it was closed. And then I come to bed and feel something near me, I turn my head and see this ghost. It was a ghost in white, it was creepy, she just stood and looked, I was beside myself with horror. It was a few days before the funeral, the most interesting thing is that I had to attend, the next day my relatives call me and say that the funeral is being postponed and I cannot attend there, because of work, that’s the story. I am not a believer and do not belong to any denomination, so I am still looking for the answer to this question.This is interesting.
I occaisonlly hear the ghost of a distant ice cream van on your soundtrack.
Thanks for this interesting tour. Personally I’m not so sceptical. My wife used to work in a pharmacy in an old building in north London. When she had to go down to the basement stockroom she sensed a presence which made her nervous and so she would always announce that she was coming in before entering the room. She never saw or heard anything. But one day, one of her colleagues was tasked with tidying up the basement. While she was doing so she distinctly heard a voice in the room saying to her “that’s a good girl”. This freaked out out a little and she asked the presence to leave. On another occasion a different colleague was surprised to go down to the basement and see a old man in a white coat sitting on a sofa. When she described him later, she was told that he was the previous owner of the pharmacy who had died many years previously. Apparently he was a much respected figure who loved his job and also lived in the building. Most of his customers thought he was much better than their doctors when it came to sorting out their ailments.
That is so interesting. While I've never seen anything, or heard anything for that matter, I have felt a presence which caused the old goosebumps. Two particular locations were Dunotter Castle in Aberdeenshire and Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire. On both occasions I was alone with only a view other tourists dotted around the sites, and I distinctly felt I was being watched. It was so eerie. I've never revisted those places :-)
Love watching these videos, came for the Beatles stayed for you! Lovely bloke with interesting videos and a great production quality
Much appreciated!
Several years ago, I had seen a program by Chris Halton entitled England's Most Haunted Village featuring Pluckley, and I was very impressed. It's great to see Tudor Smith's video of that same area.
He gives a most entertaining tour of the points of interest. I would like to personally make a visit there someday. Great job!
Nick in TN, USA
Cheers Nick. It’s definitely worth a stroll around but I think during daylight hours is best if your of a disposition where your mind plays tricks on you 🤣
I hadn't known at the time of Pluckley's reputation, however around 25 years' ago on our way to Pluckley train station, my husband and I both saw a small coloured car approaching a small hump bridge, we held back to let it over, but it never appeared. We both said to one another, where did that car go. To this day, it's the only ghostly experience we've encountered but it was very odd as we both agreed on it's colour and make and that there was nowhere else for the car to go. Interesting that it appears nobody else encountered this happening.
What an odd experience. I’ve heard of ghostly figures but not cars
That’s interesting. I know nothing about ghostly happenings. We’ve never been able to explain it away. Just a very odd experience 🙂
Your vids make me yearn for a pint in a quaint little pub in a peaceful little English village. Listening to Genesis(71-82) on the jukebox.
I really enjoyed this, we're visiting Pluckley this weekend and this has given me all the places I need to visit, thankyou!
Have fun! I've made another video on my "travels" channel which includes many missing locations I didn't cover in this first video 👍 ruclips.net/video/U7L0MfvbDh0/видео.htmlsi=BGH64VIVV5J0uWAA
@@TudorSmith ah brilliant, thankyou, I'll add them to the list!
This was a fascinating, informative, paranormal walking tour of Pluckley Village. The woods had quite an odd vibe. I don't think I could visit that area at night either. Thank you for sharing it! I'm Australian and vividly remember watching an amazing show called 'Strange but True' in the 90s, hosted by the wonderful Michael Aspel. They interviewed the locals about all the hauntings that have occurred in the village for decades. Some of the stories were very eerie indeed. Pluckley looks like a beautiful, scenic village. Yet, this region obviously has a rich, supernatural history too. It's definitely on my bucket list of paranormal places to visit.☮️
Strange but true. I remember that series. Didn’t they do one about Dover Castle too? That’s near me so maybe I should do a video about that. I visit it often and sometimes get the feeling I’m being watched 🙂
@@TudorSmith Yes, Dover Castle was featured in a STB episode. Apparently there's quite an active ghost haunting the place. No wonder you feel something is watching you.. It would be great if you could do a video/tour of the castle. I've subbed to your channel, so I'll definitely watch it. Anyway, have a good weekend TS!😁☮️
Sounds like a good content video doesn't it. If I do it, then I'll probably post it on my "Tudor Travels" channel 🙂
Other castles that spooked me were Bosworth Castle up in Derbyshire, as well as Dunotter Castle in Aberdeenshire. A real sense of being watched. I couldn't wait to get out of those castles, and I'm a skeptic lol!
@@TudorSmith I'll have to watch your Tudor Travels channel and look out for the Dover Castle video.! I must visit those haunted castles you mentioned on my next visit to the UK. I'm fascinated with the paranormal and I love your beautiful, heritage listed castles and buildings. Last time I visited England I went to Blenheim Palace and Hampton Court Palace. BP was visually stunning and had a lovely, warm vibe. Although HCP was an amazing, architectural masterpiece, it had the most foreboding, creepy atmosphere..It was the middle of the day when I visited too, so I'd hate to go there at night. I believe Hampton Court is probably haunted by Henry VIII and poor Anne Boleyn. I'd also like to visit Anne's ancestoral home - Hever castle. Too many castles and soo little time, I'd need a year in the UK to visit them all! 😁
Wow freaky! I thought the taxi driver story was a personal anecdote for a second! 🤣👌
I’d have packed the job in that very day if it had been me 🤣 👻
You really are fab at this you are bringing an Atmospheric feel to this tour I said this before because you have a real knack for this thanks 🙏
Thanks again. Glad you’re enjoying them 😊
I walked there at knight with a few of my mates and what we expierenced would traumatize me for the rest of my life we felt like we were being watched and everytime we laughed we heard a little chuckle in our ears as if it was laughing at us for being there.
OMG that sounds a bit scary. I really think I'd be creeped out doing it at night.
I can be sceptical about paranormal activity, but after everything I have seen and witnessed then after trying to debunk everything then as much as you don’t want to believe, then paranormal happens, 1st time was as a 12 year old I sometimes had a feeling of being watched by unseen eyes, later on I found out that a young girl was hit by a car in the road and unfortunately died in the house, I’d be walking the dog up a lane, and even in the afternoon I felt uneasy, I worked and still work in buildings that have paranormal going on, one was the most beautiful building however, some mornings I would walk in it felt like I didn’t belong there, almost like I was intruding on the past, dark shadows, being watched by unseen eyes 👀, heard footsteps and disembodied voices, felt cold spots and even seen a full bodied apparition, I went to see if I could help him, however when I got there, didn’t see him anywhere
It’s a funny thing. I’m sceptical as I’ve never seen anything but like you I’ve certainly felt uneasy about a place and goosebumps have given me the chills. Maybe there’s something in it after all?
😢wow! I sense couple spirits are watching you and roaming around. Super 😨 scary
As a skeptic myself I seldom get any sense of spirits or ghost but I did get some goosebumps at the church
I can remember reading about Pluckley over 50 years ago (still never managed to visit) and enjoyed this more recent report. Many thanks, glad it still enjoys a reputation.
It’s interesting isn’t it that hauntings remain a constant point of interest for the living 🤣 It has got me wondering though about why there aren’t any modern ghosts? Anything beyond WWII doesn’t factor in - you know, stories of ghosts from the 60s, 70s or 80s.
@@TudorSmith they don't make 'em like that any more 🤣👻
Ha ha can you imagine a New Romantic ghost 👻
@@TudorSmith That is such a great '80s' reference and it was an incredible music genre..They certainly don't make fabulous music like that anymore..☮️
My comment is similar to another here. I came for the Beatles and stayed for the personality! You made me laugh here when it was getting dark and you glanced over your shoulder at the road with a genuine look of foreboding and terror on your face! 😀Priceless! Sign me up to all your videos. I really love them! Well done 👍
Thanks for tagging along on my videos Kevin. I hope you’ve subscribed lol 🤣
I’m a bit of a sceptic for the supernatural but sometimes, just sometimes, you get the old goosebumps and your 6th sense alarm bells start ringing!
I am completely fascinated by the story of this village. I'm Brazilian and as I was writing a story in 2013, I imagined a place exactly like Puckley, altough then, I had never heard about this place. So I did a research and learn about this stories you told and fell in love with it. But I would love if you someday do another video there, but at night. LOL I guess the atmosphere would be scarier, no doubt.
Wow that’s amazing. We have a lot of “ghost story” history here in the U.K. While I do consider myself a sceptic, I’m not sure I’d be comfortable walking around that place at night 🤣
Just found your page really enjoyed this video
Thanks. I need to do a follow up as there are a few other locations I’ve discovered 😊
First spotted Tudor with his Beatles videos and i think he is top notch with an easy style and very knowledgeable. Have since seen most of his travel videos and this is my favourite,keep up the good work,excellent.
Thanks Colin. I do wonder if my channel is too diverse but there you go. Thanks for watching and tagging along 👍
I loved this video. More videos like this, Mr. Tudor!
Over the weekend of the VE 40th Anniversary, me and some friends drove past Fright (Hangman’s) Corner. The temperature will still in low 70s at 3 am but as soon as we reached there, the temperature suddenly went icy cold
That sounds spooky to me. I’ll bet you didn’t hang around?
After fright corner I could hear ice cream van playing music
Awesome video.
Wow love this was so interesting thank you ❤️👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
@@TudorSmith can you do some more please I find your voice very calming and you tell the story true and not make it up please do more thank you from Pam ❤️👍🏻
Hello from Connecticut! Very entertaining! Do enjoy ghost excursions and yours was especially fun. Keep it up!
Hi In Connecticut - I bet there are a few Ghost stories around that area 👻
Love the video thank you! so in-depth with information. Visited pluckly a few times and each times they have not disappointed. It is worth the visit. Keep up the videos
Thank you. I’ve been asked to go back and do me at night. I’m plucking up the courage lol
Wo sollte man unbedingt hin, wo es sich lohnt? Komme aus Deutschland und möchte bald nach Pluckly .
Thank you for sharing this interesting video with us. Sending you hugs and rainbows from New Zealand 💕^^
Thanks for visiting
We did a night walk around with just torchlight and mobile phones, the atmosphere gives the impression it's haunted. Eerie localised fog hangs in the clearings just about 10ft off the ground and animals rustling in the bush (assuming it was animals.lol). Other than that we never encountered anything out of the ordinary...although will return at random times later. Sadly people do turn up in the car park late and do whatever they are doing and spoil it. Highwaymans corner is only 300 yards down the road...again saw nothing....me neither sceptic or believer.
I guess it’s hard to believe unless yo actually experience anything. That being said if you get goosebumps or chills then that’s a sign lol! What do on earth was going on with those parked cars 🤣
18:16 'oesophaguses' !!!
Great video, thanks
Well done - I was wondering who’d notice that deliberate mistake lol.
I get it right I’m my Beiderbecke locations video 👍
Congrats on your 1st 1,000 subs, buddy!
Excellent video btw!
Thank you. It took a while but I got there. Now to get a Beatles Liverpool walkabout done to start earning from the RUclips cash-cow 🤣
Really enjoyed this Tudor!
Thanks so Much 🙏
Clapham Woods in Sussex had a reputation for the dark occult until the hurricane of 1987. I read the carrying on's were very real. Not only animals going missing but people murdered too, including a vicar and an investigating police officer. I read that the insane people of that cult relocated and a lot of wiccans etc spent time clearing bad spirits.
However, I also read that some locals used to deliberately place ooparts around and speakers in trees.
All that said, Lewes in Sussex is also reputed to have members of dark occult groups.
For entertainment, the yt channel Ray's Ghost Stories is good.
I’d never heard of that place. There are probably quite a few locations dotted around the country eh?
@@TudorSmith Almost certainly. Mind, Clapham Woods does seem to have deserved the bad reputation until the Hurricane of 1987 reportedly blew away their hidden den, supposedly at the back of an old church. I have never read of anywhere else where there have been such relatively recent reports and murders, which were in the news. I won't go into more of what I read over time as there is already a lot online. I don't doubt much of it is rooted in fact. I don't know how effictive the spooky stuff was but those who are insane enough to believe in it do so as far as fundamentalists, and some of them are said to be very powerful people in public positions. Considering the Jimmy Savile type and many more similar, I believe a lot of it is likely to have a lot of truth to it. May not ghosts and gouls but the dark occult practises of those who believe in them and think they are conjuring them up. Look at all the powerful people Savile went with. I don't mean they specifically were involved at Clapham Woods that sort. Insane and very dangerous although covered up for by others including in MSM. Those who have tried to expose them being stopped.
Tudor,amazing!!!! Great idea! Yes Pluckley one of the most haunted places in the world! Spooky! Thanks! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!
Aw thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎅🏻
Great stories (I hope they ARE true) and well told...although you did get your oesophagus and sarcophagus mixed up in the graveyard! You must get back to those woods when the light starts to fade, it looked like a really eerie place
Ah good catch. Sarcophagus - that’s what it is 🤣 I can’t confirm or deny the validation of the stories. I guess like most “legends” handed down over time, they get a little diluted! I’m wondering if I would have the courage to revisit during twilight! I was freaked out to hear the interference on my recording as I approached the church.
I caught your comment on one of the Liverpool Beatles walkabouts on the Maybrick character, who may or may not have been Jack the Ripper. I would love to see you do a visit to the London of Jack the Ripper and associated canonical murder sites. Your comments and take on the terrible events in 1888 would be interesting as you already have some knowledge I guess. Keep up the good work, 'you're all doing very well', as Young Mr Grace would say...
I’ve always had a fascination with JtR and my opinions of the suspect have changed over the years. Bruce Robinsons book of 2015 (They All Love Jack) seems to me to provide the most conclusive evidence to date. I suspect all ripperologists debunk James and Michael Maybrick just because they have made there minds up. If any official documentation comes to light (and I bet there are many no one has seen) then we’ll eventually get the answer.
Two of the London location of the canonical five have been redeveloped but it could still make for an interesting video
Yes same here, ever since I watched the Barlow and Watts to investigation as a kid. In a way I hope they never discover as the mystery is just as fascination as the actual crimes...
Very fascinating cool video
Cheers
Great show, my dear man...my favorite theme besides the Beatles/ Lennon. Best wishes Ron
Glad you liked it 👍

I’d say that experience you had could quite possibly put you into the believer category? Perhaps your grandmother knew you wouldn’t be able to attend the funeral so paid you a visit? It’s all very fascinating 👍
@@TudorSmith Anyway it's interesting! Thanks!
Fair play you are funny 😆 loved that video
It is what it is I guess 🤣
A female camper stayed in thr Woods without realising their haunted. She recorded and heard heavy footsteps around her camp. 2am, 3.15 then around 4.30 poor girl. Wonder if it was a ghost or a human.
That would have been freaky. My suspicions would be human footsteps but who knows right?
Brother, them there woods LOOK haunted! Don’t go pushin’ any buttons, or pullin’ on strings in them woods, my pappy once told me…..
As usual, Tudor great video!
Ha ha. Michael have no fear, not only will I not go pushing’ buttons or pulling’ strings but I won’t go into the woods once it’s dark!
I typed in the red camera , but couldn't find your channel ?
Any ideas for how I can find it ?
I've just bought a Pentax KP , I have the delivery this Monday coming and I need a few tips , I did photography as a hobby back in the days of film ! ( remember those days ? ) , but I am inexperienced in the use of digital SLR cameras .
It would be nice if I can find your channel !
Hi. Sorry, I went and changed the channel name. It's now called Tudor Smith Photography, but here's the link:

I'd best update the card on my youtube ghost video eh?
Thank you ! I just subscribed !
Fabulous! Thank you!
The Watercress woman is seen on the other side of the road from where you took the pictures.
Thanks for that. I didn't know what side she was supposed to be on.
I live in the countryside and you should hear the sounds the wildlife makes at night- foxes especially during mating season sounds like someone is being murdered. Not paranormal, just freaky as hell wildlife nocturnal sounds…
I’ve also said for many years that people/weirdos/junkies/psychos hanging around in the woods (especially at night and doing God knows what) scares me more than anything supernatural or otherwise…
I live in the countryside too so I can attest to the strange sounds - although I’m glad to say not human 🤣
3 mins 47 seconds ! Bottom left corner , I swear I can see Bigfoot !!
I'm of the same opinion of you, seeing is believing. Do I trust people and their events, no I don't trust them to be true.
I used to live in ashford and visited pluckley briefly
Did you sense anything in Pluckley when you visited?
@@TudorSmith i went in a graveyard and sensed something a little
Spooky 👻 🤣
@@TudorSmith it was i was very young at the time. Always been able to sense things but not so much now.
That’s Interesting - it’s often said younger people can sense things.
How long did it take to walk between these locations?
All the locations in the village are in close proximity to each other so I parked the car and strolled aorund...half hour maybe? I drove to the woods and the junction where the highway man was as well as the Watercress Lady location....but that's only a 5 minute drive from the village 👍
@@TudorSmith awesome. I was curious. Im in the U.S..a trip like this would require a rental car and google maps.lol. ill get there eventually! Thanks!
I blessed them the hauntings are gypsys whom were killed in the woods I blessed them ages ago I can hear the ice cream van tingling
I never knew that 😮
Is the old brickwork factory still there? My friends and I hung out there a few times as teenagers... bit scary!
I think it is. There's one story of a brickworks worker who was crushed by a wall and it dragged him under the water. Apparently his screams can still be heard!!!
Minute 2:56😱😱😱, lisening
I’m scaring myself - and I made the video 🤣
@@TudorSmith when I heard it I hesitated because of the background noise that appears in your video, but I realized that just that part was the audio of the video, I was shocked, good video👌 I love the Forests, greetings from Chile
Oh yeah the sound track. I just have timed it perfectly 🤣
@@TudorSmith es que si fuera el audio de fondo creo que apareceria más veces el grito en el video, creo que es el audio del video
Eso podría ser cierto. También me preocupé cuando caminé por la iglesia y mi audio grabado detectó interferencias.
makes me laugh that ghosts only come out at night, so even tho they are dead and it is only a spirit or soul that is present. they still have a concept of time, i remember the story of a couple who stayed in a hotel and before they checked in, they were told that their room was the most haunted in the hotel, they had a horrible stay, noises, things moving, bumping banging etc...the following week a couple stayed in the same room they had a lovely weekend, loved the room had a great stay, but were told it was haunted AFTER their stay. strange that eh ?
It can be a funny thing, when people are told things about the supernatural, and then their imaginations run wild!
Come on... Pluckley woods AT NIGHT.
Funny you should say that. I was thinking about it just today 👻
@@TudorSmith Moving from Christchurch in Dorset, back to Kent in a couple of weeks. My wife and I were talking about a night film in Pluckley too.
Be interesting to get a clairvoyant with you. I get the sense of things 'not right', and one of my old houses was quite badly haunted (I wasn't a believer till I experienced it over 6 months). So a halloween special?
That’s just it right? Everyone is a sceptic until they’ve experienced it themselves. I’ve had enough close calls to be respectful! Thing is if I ever saw something I’d want to interview it and get some insights 🤣
@@TudorSmith Mine was trying to throttle the ex-wife (should have filmed it, seen how far it got...ooo bitter lemon).
Got up in the night and was in the bathroom on the same floor, she starts screaming, I run through and there's a male figure over her, that she said was strangling her. I saw the figure, turned the light on and... nothing. She was more freaked out that I was on the other side of the room, she thought it was me sleep walking.
Things got worse from there, eventually had to have the house 'cleared'.
As a regular in The Blacksmiths 1970's to 1990's, I never ever heard or saw anything that vaguely resembled a haunting! Believe this rubbish if You want.
Me neither!
In 2014 I visited Pluckly with my Niece (then 16), it was during Autum If I remember rightly. We spent a little time in tje Black Horse and then rolled in a group of people claiming to be ghost hunting. I hadlittle faith of seeing anything and thought they wete a group of weirdos. We agreed to join them, I thought well it would be a laugh. We walked around and then to the Lych gate. They decided to hols a seance there, at first I said no as I did not think it was right, but then I agreed. We all joined hands (I was trying not to laugh), It wad dark but there was just enough light to make out shaped once your eyes adjusyed. laugh). My Niece Kate kept whispering to me for my torch and was clearly unsettled. I told her to be wuiet and ignored her. After I spoke to her in private, meaning to tick her off for keeping 1:21 on about a torch. It was then that she said she daw a small dog curled up between us. I believed her as I know her well but thought fear had caused her to imagine it, it was then that we returned to the group an one of them, I think his name was Andy said there was a small dog there in the centre. We both nearly melted in our shoes.
From our previous visit I also have a photo (which I am happy to share), of a white/grey list above one of the graves. I took this myself. I had taken about 50 photos walking round in the dark using flash. The night was clear with no mist. It is important to say that I don’t smoke so no it wad not smoke. And thinking it could have been my own breath tried to reproduce this on many other trips with the same cameta. It is also worth mrntioning that as it was dark I could not see my viewfinder so was holding the camera away from my face. Not my breath.
