One of the locations is the village of Pluckley in Kent, which was named the ‘Most Haunted Village’ in the 1989 Guinness Book of World Records after 16 distinct ghosts have been sighted there. 

Also included is Blickling Hall in Norwich, the birthplace of Henry VIII’s second wife Anne Boleyn who was beheaded on his orders. Her tormented spirit is said to roam the corridors. 

The research comes after there had been a 121% increase in searches on site for haunted properties. The platform decided to streamline the process for those looking to be spooked.

A poll of UK adults revealed that a third (33%) believe in the supernatural and two-fifths (40%) of the respondents who were either believers or unsure about the paranormal, stated that they have experienced something that they feel could have been paranormal.*
