Tick Fen, Warboys

Deep in the Cambridgeshire countryside, near the village of Warboys, lies the rural location of Tick Fen, where a most unusual and unexplained phenomenon took place in the late 19th century. A cottage belonging to a local beekeeper was at the centre of a poltergeist activity that would baffle and intrigue hundreds of visitors. It started on 26 April 1897, with strange raps emanating from the bed of a sick girl, growing in intensity and volume over the course of several days. The sounds became so loud that they could be heard in a neighbouring home, some 450 metres away.

RAF Mepel, Sutton

RAF Mepal in Sutton, Cambridge, is said to be haunted by the ghost of an RAF pilot. In November 1960, an RAF police officer encountered the apparition of the pilot in full flying gear while the fog rolled in. The phantom simply dissolved into thin air before the officer's eyes. What's interesting is that the witness tried to report the incident, only to be told it wasn't worth bothering with as it had been seen before. This rather dismissive response hints at a deeper history of paranormal activity at the site.

George Hotel, Ramsey

The George Hotel in Ramsey is home to a mischievous ghost known as Mary. Locals believe Mary was a former landlady who tragically died in a fire on the site. Her spirit is said to be fiercely opposed to naked flames, and guests have reported her blowing out candles and matches. It's as if Mary's presence is still tied to the hotel, and she can't bear the thought of fire near her. This strange phenomenon has been observed by many, leaving some to wonder about Mary's story and her connection to the hotel.

Ramsey Rural Museum, Ramsey

Ramsey Rural Museum seems like an unlikely place for paranormal activity but investigators from the Cambridgeshire Supernatural Investigators have captured some compelling evidence. In April 2013 they recorded unexplained noises and managed to snap images of a dark shadow while exploring the museum. The team was clearly excited by their findings and it's easy to see why - the museum's rural setting and historic exhibits make it the perfect setting for a ghost story.

Church, March

In the quaint Cambridgeshire town of March, a legendary tale has been etched into the local folklore. The story goes that the villagers, eager to have their church in the heart of the village, were thwarted by none other than the Devil himself. He was so enamored with the fenland that he decided to relocate the construction materials to the south of the river, hence the name 'South of the River'. This intriguing legend has become an integral part of the town's history and a testament to the enduring power of local myth.

Great Whyte, Ramsey

Great Whyte in Ramsey is a spot where an old piece of folklore has been passed down through the years. Locals believe that if a hare runs down this road, a fire will break out in Ramsey within three days. It's a legend that has been etched into the community's collective memory, leaving many to wonder if there's any truth behind it. While there's no recorded instance of a fire occurring as a direct result of a hare sighting, the story remains a fascinating example of how folklore can shape our perceptions of the world around us.
