- To celebrate Halloween in the UK, I decided to visit the most haunted village in Britain! Did you know the spookiest place in Britain is a tiny village in Kent, England?? Me, neither. Let's explore Pluckley, Kent!
This video was pretty cursed - I can't believe I was reading THE NAME WRONG THE WHOLE TIME. And my audio was so messed up. I'm so sorry. Let's try again another time. Hope you enjoyed this English village tour anyway!

Hey! I'm Alanna - a twenty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a RUclips video every Tuesday and an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:30pm GMT on Twitch.
Alanna x
It's all randy monks and ladies in white gowns, with the occasional spooky horse and dog. Never seems to be the guy who cleans out the privies 😁
I think the gold's buried in the plot next to you.
Sounds really useful having a ghost, if it neatly arranges your cutlery, and keeps the house cool on the hottest day of summer.
Not to worry about the mispronunciation. Could have been worse. At least the village wasn't called Fluckley.
😂
@@AdventuresAndNaps Oh if someone popped up from behind hose tombstones, i would be......🤣🤣🤣🤣.....
Remember Pluckley well, working nights on the railway, the reputation for ghosts was always mentioned to nervous types sent out on their own!
Did anyone see anything?
@@rowesk unfortunately only ever 4th or 5th hand years before
I love old Churches and graveyards. I love that tree that you filmed in front of. It was huge.❤️ Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!!
Most ancient church ground have yew trees. The Christian appropriate pre Christian ancient religious and burial sites. And there religious festivals
Kent County Council should engage you for their tourism offices: with their new motto: “without further ado, let’s go”!
🥳
lol ok
I waited right to the end of the episode. The jump scare at the end was terrifying!
👻
If you have the inclination one day, I’d love to see Sevenoaks. My late wife Francie had an uncle who lived there and she talked about the place a lot. She loved it, but I have no idea what it’s like Like so many kiwis, she lived in London for 3 years back in the early 1970s but whenever she needed a change of scenery she’d go to stay with her uncle in Sevenoaks Thanks for todays spooky tour - entertaining as always
That was brilliant! I was so depressed with this gloomy weather. But you turned it around. Cheers Alanna 😉
Yep, still watching, 4+ years, blimey I feel old!
Thanks Alanna, you not having a script, & getting the village name wrong, is just part of the charm.
Pocahontas is also buried in Kent, surprised she doesn't have a ghost story to!
4 years!! Thanks so much!!
I am very proud of you being outside, live video…. Outside! You’re a big girl now!👩🦳😎🎸🍸🍸🗽🏴🏴🇬🇧You always be loved
A haunted pub is no surprise, they are always full of spirits.
😂
Great video Alanna Pluckley looks beautiful. I wouldn't worry to much about getting the name wrong its easily done. Looking forward to seeing more spooky videos throughout the month.
Cheers Brian!!
A very spooky village indeed & very plucky of you to start off in a Pluckley grave yard, or is that Puckley. All those ghosts floating around is enough to confuse the best of us. 👻👻👻👻👻👻
Thanks for watching!
Of course you said PUCKley, you're Canadian! It's entirely understandable that you'd fit an Ice Hockey reference into something 😜
😂🇨🇦
Isn't ice hockey derived from standard hockey which us brits invented 😉😂
@@davebirch1976 I think it may be based on Scottish shinty -- same for curling which is popular in Canada.
Your absolutely right when you say how peaceful a graveyard is. Lived near Pluckley and the graveyard is lovely to have a wonder round and sit on a bench. Great pubs in around this part of Kent. The Bell in Smarden is my second favourite pub💙✌
Much of the first 'Darling Buds of May' was filmed in and around Pluckley. Pluckley tea can be purchased from the Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company in Pluckley. Worth a visit when you're next passing through, excellent tea IMO.
Great video, very funny, especially like the spooky music lol... Never heard of Pluckley, but it looks lovely & you had a great day for wandering!
Happy Spooky Month! Hope no ghosts followed you home 😂👻
Thanks so much Gem!!
I had an idea once for a film about Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Jim Morrison, coming back to perform their music once again on street corners.
The working title was Ghost Buskers.
What is spooky, scary and disorienting is the last bit at the end where you are driving home, and as one who has traveled on the right side of the road all my life, I had to suppress the urge to scream "what out!"
Brave Alana the very Pluckley ghostbuster! lol That church dog was probably Scooby Doo! haha 😂😱
How can we get scared after you greet us with such a jolly "Hello, it's me"? Not to mention the air quotes you used when describing the "confirmed" sightings!
Great video, Alanna. I'm glad you "pucked" up the courage to visit such a spooky place!
Thanks for watching!
"The Howling Man" was a once widely reported phenomenon in our Town. Then the Pubs opened 24 Hours-a-Day and he mysteriously vanished. Unexpectedly, during Lock-down, reports of his return started to turn-up again.
I feel his pain
"An icy chill in the air, even on the hottest day." There you go, no need for air-con just move into a haunted house...
😂
Did you consider doing this at night, with just a torch maybe? haha, that would've upped the spooky levels a 100 fold. I bet your face would've been a picture with every rustle in the hedgerow, and surrounding countryside... Whaaa haaa haaarr
😂
Love the Black Horse in the summer. Kent is the only place with square oasts - look into that
Hi Alanna, great video! 🎃👻 Love the walks in towns and villages...I'm with you that the architecture is beautiful and even the stone walls! 👍 If I ever have the chance to go to England, that is what I want to see! In some of the channels I watch, I really enjoy the graveyards, England has some spectacular one's. Have a wonderful rest of the week and a spooky rest of the month as well! Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care of yourself, stay safe! Much love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
Thank you! You too!!
You could try Chilham or Leeds next to the castle ..or further afield Tenterden or Bodiam ,Tunbridge Wells.
Agree - All great places to visit!
Bodiam’s lovely.
Take the steam train (KESR) from Tenterden to Bodiam?
Pluckley is a very pretty village, I travel through it frequently and enjoy the architecture of the estate houses with their round topped windows. Glad you had a good time even if there were no ghosts!
Thanks for watching!
Putting the wrong village name into your head sounds like the kind of thing that ghosts would do to throw you off the scent
Blame the ghosts! 😂
There was that spooky young lady, blocking the views of the nice little village, who obsessed with the name of the village :o The sound of "Pluckley", spoken without the first L, will haunt me forever :D (Very nice comment btw. ♥)
Did you take the time to read any of the old but still legible headstones? Really is amazing to see how many people lived until their late 80s or 90s in the 18th to mid-19th centuries when the life expectancy was mid-40s at best.
See the graves, gotta go see the graves
('Three Men In A Boat' reference)
Love the video as usual, Alanna. I used to work at a psych hospital just outside Canterbury (it's a housing estate now) and although I never actually saw anything, I definitely heard things on late evening shifts and night shifts that couldn't possibly have been there at those times of day.
Glad to see the UK is growing on you in the right way ;) I miss living there so bad, so soak it up for me as well. It was really hard as an american like me to really get into it, but it honestly becomes part of you will see you never lose it!
I'm digging the spooky vibe of this video! I hope you're having a great spooky month, Alanna 🙂
Thanks so much!!
@@AdventuresAndNaps You're welcome!
Hi Alanna,your creativity never ceases to amaze me.l am always looking forward to the next video.l love the school marm look,please keep them coming.thanking you.Roly🇬🇧.PS while watching till the end,I was half expecting the car in front to vanish😱
3:00 - that was really spooky !
I had a fun trip to Rye last month. The strangest thing is that it is one of the cinq ports but is now miles from the sea
Definitely time you did Sandwich and Eastry. We'd love the publicity and might even offer a pub lunch. And I'm not a mayor but I am on the parish council!
Sounds good to me!
That was lovely Alanna, and didn't you pick a great day to explore? Great idea to explore Kent some more and I wonder if Headcorn near Maidstone might be on your future list - in truth I haven't been there in years but it used to be pretty (hope it still is) and it's where my Grandma was born. She always used to speak so fondly about it when I was a kid.
Thanks Malcolm! Never heard of Headcorn before, so many places to see!
One thing I've always wondered. How great it must be for a non-UK person to walk in the country knowing there aren't any bears, wolves, cougars or other things that might want to eat you or stomp on you (Moose I'm looking at you).
We still have flashers, though!😉
Great point PHDarren. I live in the U.S. and on solo hikes (walks) in remote places I am terrified of cougars. You don't see them coming. Sneaky kitties. I got to see one up close at a zoo like enclosure and I would not want to have that jump onto my back.
Problem with places like Pluckley is that hauntings can fade away and not really reported as much anymore and hauntings do become infrequent. I would like to see some of the locals come forward to hear about there possible experiences and maybe recent ones. Hope you do more Haunted Pluckley videos and maybe a 45 min one which will be interesting. Would you consider exploring St Nicholas Church at night 👻
I read about Pluckley in a book about ghost, monsters and UFOs back when I was a wee lad. I've seen a video tour before, but this one is way more entertaining. The spooky music made me laugh!
Thanks for watching!
Ha! Nice job Alana, you didn't need the Theremin at the end, just driving on the "wrong" side would've been enough. Cheers from Vancouver.
Yes more Kent village videos sbd more importantly, Canterbury Town and Cathedral 😁
Firstly I live your phrase "a hot minute" 🔥 🥵 😜 hehe and I love the CGI ghostly 👻 graphics and music in the video 😅
Hi Alana. Another great video. Lovely topic for this month too. Pluckley is a delightful village and did you notice how the majority of houses have rounded windows? This is a feature of Pluckley. Not many other villages around the area share that.
You were not far off from where I used to live, in Biddenden, famed for the conjoined twins Mary and Eliza and nowadays the Biddenden vineyard, surely a worthy addition to your tour of Kent as indeed would be the neighbouring town of Tenterden. Just as a suggestion. Thanks.
She discovered one easy trick to anger the spirits, ghostbusters HATE her!
😂
Great video. May I suggest a series on what are known locally as the 5 'C's' Charing, Challock, Chilham, Chartham and Canterbury. They are located roughly in a straight line from Charing, nr Ashford, running east to Canterbury.
Thanks for the tour. Facing up to all that spookiness. Great looking village. My lame pun - that's the spirit!
Thanks for watching!!
If you’ve ever seen the TV series “The Darling Buds of May”, the original version with David Jason as Pop Larkin, parts were filmed in the village of PLUCKLEY.
I heard! Never watched the show, though
The Larkin house is up the road in Bethersden
I'm surprised that you didn't notice St Knickerless, she was wandering behind you !
I read about this place 40 years ago when I was a kid in my Mysteries of the unknown book. Great for scaring kids at Halloween not so much for adults.
I always watch right to the end..... Wonderful video. Please don`t change Alanna.... You may not be perfect.... But that is what makes you such a delight to watch and why I love you so much.... Take care and yes post more village tours please... :-)))) :-))) xxxxxx
"Back in the Day" TIME TEAM visited the Kentish village of EASTRY looking for ancient Anglo-Saxon artifacts and possibly an ancient
royal palace or two. They usually began their "digs" at a congenial local pub.
St Georges Church in GRAVESEND, Kent is the final resting place of POCAHONTAS (yes, that Pocahontas). Unfortunately, the exact
location of her grave is lost to history, but they have a large memorial statue of her in the church yard.
The cemetery in Pluckley is world famous - people are dying to go there.
Worthy of note, would have been the very distinctive houses with Derling windows in Pluckey, only seen in a few Kent villages ... Double, triple windows with arches .. a bit of history behind them too ...
I imagine it would be a little more eerie when it's dark. That's when the real fun begins 👻👻👻
Hi, Alanna, on second viewing I can confirm sighting of two ghosts, there was a woman with a basket of flowers bending over behind you in the cemetery and a little dog standing on the other side as you walked along the road. Enjoyed the video, it was really good.
Thank you!!
Interesting upload - thank you. Good music.
Margin note: Apparently The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the most stolen book from libraries.
This might be my favourite video yet. Very amusing 😃
Yay, thank you!
Lovely scenery. Ticehurst good example. Wadhurst and Hawkhurst. HAWKHURST has a lot of smuggling history.
I stayed till the end because, to me, the spookiest thing about Britain is driving the road system!
😂 Agreed!
Hi Alana, try the Old Weavers House in Canterbury Kent. It had an old ducking stool. I learned to row over there on the river Stour many years ago. It is beautiful and eerie over there x
Hey Alanna
I didn’t see a ghost but at approximately 6.40 I saw a 30mph sign post just disappear lol.
Love these little village videos.
Thanks for watching!!
That sunshine just makes ghost tours decidedly UNscary, but does make for a gorgeous day!
Yay for village tours; love the content 🙂
Thanks for watching!
You need to visit Pendle in the North west, that's where Pendle Witches where executed. Plenty of old ruins of the witches house and the graves they were buried in are still there. Plus Pendle is a really nice village, great pubs.
Lullingstone Castle is a nice place to visit!
Come to "Deal", a small town on the Kent coast - be happy to be your tour guide for the day or to give you pointers in advance
AND you get to have fish and chips on the beach, eat ice cream and throw pebbles in the sea !
Getting into the spirit of things it's always fun to check out the ghost hunting programs like 'most haunted' at this time of year.
I used to watch so many of those shows as a kid!
I have always found graveyards peaceful and comforting places
Love your background music, that’s so cute and funny😂
Things that go bump in the night seldom do during the day...so its hardly surprising that you weren't getting a 'spooky' vibe but, in saying that, Kent is so chock full of grey ladies, mad monks and red-eyed dog ghosts that its a wonder that you weren't falling over them in the street. Perhaps you should revisit Pluckley and do the same ghost walk at night?
Tenterden is definitely worth it, plus a quick visit out to the local vineyard. Or how about a nice pub to pub walk from Upchurch to Lower Halstow along the sea wall. Just not a mid-winter walk as when it gets very wet the sea wall can be too treacherous
0:43 the unsung struggle of getting your hand out of a pocket 🙂
I came to love graveyards after having read 'The Graveyard Book'
In the town where I grew up, until Henry VIII got his hands on it, there was a large, important abbey.
Back in the 50s some houses were built on what was the site of the abbey graveyard, as a kid I did watch the area being excavated and did see some skeletons in their stone coffins.
I often wondered if any of the house owners knew.
Could you do another extended video on Pluckley and visiting maybe after dark or daytime and maybe see if some of the locals will speak about there experiences as you have a polite and friendly way about you. The Black Horse would be great to visit and maybe see if you can speak to any of the locals. Thanks 😊 xx
The twist; You did actually visit a village called 'Puckley' but it is impossible to find it on any maps. No one has ever been able to find it since. The ghosts tricked you into putting the comments at the start to pretend that you were in 'Pluckley' instead.
😂👻
England really sets the bar for charming little villages like PUCKLEY. =)
That was a great video, love spooky stuff👻 and what's a better place for spooky stuff than Britain, other than maybe Transylvania.
Thanks for watching!
They are waiting for the sunrise to start their morning, but I am waiting for your talk, so that is the most beautiful and long-awaited morning begin. Good morning my love.😙
I have seen a ghost when I lived in a Oast house in Egerton forstal in kent. There was lots of reports of footsteps, load banging and Items moving. I was the only person to see the ghost and I still question myself. I imagine it's more probable that it was a hallucination of some sort and not a ghost. Only thing I know is that it was as real as anything else I have seen. I no longer talk about it to people who I meet as they understandably are skeptical. Though the experience was very weird it wasn't scary and nothing bad happened. Egerton forstal is only 10 minutes away from Pluckley.
You should have gone in the Black horse pub for lunch. We went on Halloween night years ago and the lights above our table kept flickering off and on going dim. It's right next to the graveyard but we were too scared to go in there !. I live in Kent too. I was born here in Rochester but moved to the Midlands when I was 3yrs. Then I was overseas for many years. I've been back in Kent for 9 years now so just s bit longer than you. I'm still having problems feeling at home after 26 yrs in Florida! I miss the sunshine mostly. I keep seeing places I know really well on your channel . How are you settling in now. Do you think you will be here forever? I think most Brits would love to live in Canada. My nan had brothers and sisters that emigrated to Canada around 1920s I love to find my ancestors decendants. Thanks for sharing xxx
Love the spooky music! Ps I’m sure you’re getting cuter Alana
That must have been the famous ghost of the dog that didn't belong to the vicar of Pluckley!!!
Puckley😂😂. Question is......did you get a nice pub lunch😉
Btw the spooky music just didn’t work for me. It just made me laugh hysterically as you were driving down all these lovely roads. Just felt comical 😂😂
Like, it's a well known fact that ghosts only come out after dark, so you need to go back there tonight and do the tour then!
Why did you see 'Puckley' in your head instead of 'Pluckley'? Because you're Canadian, and watch far too much Ice Hockley! Love your videos - my Sunday morning treat. 😃
I thought I was the biggest nerd. I need to up my game to keep up with you.🤓
alena you're definitely in your element with the ghost story
I was absolutely convinced if I watched to the very end a spooky ghost would jump out in the last few seconds.....didn't happen..hummmmmppphhh!
I did subscribe, as instructed, though
Thanks so much!
It's looks very spooky, isn't that the place where some ghosts have followed some people home, I'm sure I watched a documentary ages ago about some teenagers camping in the woods there and not getting any sleep with very scary stuff going on all night and then a ghost followed one of them home and tormented him for a few years.
Love spooky month and a walk in a cemetery!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Alanna. Like you I live in Kent (Maidstone) & it's definitely one of the prettiest places in the UK. It's not that far away from Pluckley, 6 or 7 miles, but as someone once said, the scariest thing about Pluckley is the house prices!! Canterbury is reputed to have some 30 or so ghosts roaming around its ancient interior, as well as being the seat of the Church of England. Kind regards, Leslie.
Thanks so much for watching!
The strangest thing I saw was at 11:44 where a set of stairs seem to lead directly into the road.
Still watching! Wow, bless you 😆
An autumn day.? Those crocuses behind you say it’s a long way from autumn but maybe they’re ghosts of crocuses past.
In today's video, Alanna tells spooky stories. Are you sitting comfortably? Let's begin. Bwahahahahahaha. Do you have any Canadian ghost stories? I'd love to hear them if you do. :-)
Hey Alanna, great video and that's a nice village. The spooky places are always nice in daylight. I was still watching, so I am blessed and I'm not going anywhere.
Thanks for watching!
I knew it’d be pluckley before I clicked... my parents have driven through with me in the car many times and they always talk about it being supposedly creepy.
I think I saw a mannequin from Upnor castle behind you in the churchyard 👻
When you've finished with Kent, Surrey will always give you a warm welcome!
Those mannequins 😩
