in 1998, the guinness book of records officially recognised pluckley in kent as the "most haunted village in england". locals say the village and surrounding area has between 12 and 16 ghosts, the guinness world records, puts the number at 12. besides its ghosts, the area is also known for its idyllic and unspoilt countryside, made famous by the television series the darling buds of may which was filmed here in the early 1990s. the landscape remains a patchwork of fields, with sprawling woodland and orchards.
despite it's seemingly normal appearance, and the fact that it's residents continue to live as normal, going to work, playing partypoker.com uk and going to the pub with friends, it is far from average. its paranormal portfolio includes a screaming man who may have worked at the village brickworks and fallen to his death.there are no reports of a visible ghost at the brickworks, just the sound of terrified screaming echoing through the buildings.
at st nicholas church the ghost of 'red lady derring' has been seen wandering the churchyard, and the chapel where she was laid to rest. it is said that the red lady's illegitimate baby died at birth leaving its grieving mother to die shortly afterwards from a broken heart, her apparition is most often seen in the chapel, this area is the focus for a large amount of paranormal activity including unexplained knocks, bangs and a dancing light in the widow. the churchyard is also home to a ghostly white lady, and a phantom white dog.
the white lady's ghost is also thought to be a member of the derrin family her spirit has also been seen at the dering library in surrenden dering. the local legend is that the woman's beauty was famed throughout the neighborhood, and when she died, at a tragically young age; her husband was grief-stricken. he could not bear the thought of the effect that the ravages of the grave would have upon her looks, so he had her body wrapped in a priceless flowing gown. she was placed in an airtight lead coffin with a single red rose laid upon her breast. sealed inside a further series of airtight lead coffins, she was finally encased in a casket of solid oak and buried in a deep vault in the dering chapel. on misty autumn mornings her spirit manifests in the churchyard, as beautiful in death as she was in life. clutched before her she holds a single red rose.
the white lady was seen whilst surrenden dering was the us embassy between the two world wars. a mr. walter winans supposedly held a lonesome vigil one christmas eve in the library with his hunting rifle. when the white lady appeared before him, he reputedly shot her. the shot passed through the apparition. she vanished through a paneled wall which might have led to a tunnel which was supposed to link the house with the church.
