A terrifyingly eerie and chilling castle in Port Talbot, South Wales, is believed to be home of a nasty and angry spirit of a Game Keeper who has said to have been murdered by a poacher and is the main haunt of the castle, being responsible for throwing objects around. Home to many ghosts, the castle has been at the centre of many amounts of paranormal activity.

Ripon Workhouse Museum, North Yorkshire
Step back in time and take in the eery atmosphere of the poor unfortunate former residents of the Ripon Workhouse Museum, where a feeling of doom must have fallen on many a passing through the Gatehouse arch and hearing the door shut behind them, knowing they would leave only in a coffin ‘with two handles, name of the person with the year of their deceased inscribed’.
When: 22nd October
Price:£39.00

Drakelow Tunnels, West Midlands
Almost out of view beneath the overgrown foliage below Solcum Aylesbury hillfort lay the historical Second World War Drakelow Tunnels. Originally named “Drakelow Underground Dispersal Factory”, the tunnels have been kept in secrecy until as recent of 1993, due to it being once a former underground military complex under Kingsford Country Park near the village of Kinver, Staffordshire.
