British ghosts might be polite, but that doesn’t make them any less ghoulish. From north to south and east to west, the UK is packed with rickety old mansions, abandoned castles, eerie cemeteries and post-industrial landscapes that might be more terrifying than anything the undead can throw at you. History is everywhere here, and not all of that history is happy gathering dust in the books. What was that noise? It was probably your imagination, but ‘probably’ isn’t the most certain of terms. These are the most haunted places in the UK and they aren’t for the faint of heart.
