Church, St Mawgan

St Mawgan Church in Cornwall stands as a testament to the village's rich history and a dash of the supernatural.

It's said that no human effort could resist the Devil's nocturnal interventions, and eventually, the builders had to accept the new location. This strange tale has become an integral part of the church's folklore, leaving many to wonder about the true story behind the church's relocation.

Barrowfields, Newquay

Barrowfields in Newquay is home to a rather unsettling spectre - a headless horseman who travels several metres above the ground. This ghostly apparition has been reported to appear in the vicinity of the ancient barrow, sending shivers down the spines of locals and visitors alike. Imagine walking through the fields at dusk, the sun dipping below the horizon, and suddenly catching a glimpse of a horse and rider, floating eerily in mid-air, with one unsettling difference - the rider's head is missing.

Likely the A3058, Quintrell Downs

Quintrell Downs, a quiet area in Cornwall, is where a rather bizarre incident took place back in spring 2001. A couple found themselves stuck in stop-start traffic on the A3058, and as they inched along, they noticed a middle-aged man in dark trousers and a pullover cross the road in front of them. He seemed like an ordinary bloke, just going about his business, but things took a strange turn when he reached the kerb on the opposite side and simply vanished into thin air. The couple must have been left scratching their heads, wondering if they'd just imagined the whole thing.

Harbour, Newquay

Newquay Harbour, a bustling spot for fishermen and tourists alike, holds a strange secret. On a calm evening in 2009, a fishing boat crew stumbled upon an old, empty vessel close to the harbour. They pulled alongside, thinking it had broken free from its moorings, but as they checked the cabin, they made a chilling discovery - the boat had been lost at sea eighteen years prior. The crew's excitement quickly turned to unease as they left the cabin, only to find the vessel had vanished into thin air.

Crantock Manor, Newquay

Deep within the walls of Crantock Manor, a place of quiet contemplation has been disturbed by the restless spirit of Doctor Pusey, a theologian from a bygone era. His ghost has been seen sitting by a window, lost in deep thought, as if pondering the mysteries of the universe. A guest at the manor, mistaking the phantom for a real person, attempted to strike up a conversation, only to be left feeling perplexed and somewhat annoyed when Pusey failed to respond. It wasnt until she complained to the owner about the 'rude man' that she was made aware of his true nature - a harmless but intriguing spectre.

Fistral Backpackers, Newquay

Fistral Backpackers in Newquay has a reputation for being one of the most haunted hostels in the UK.

It's unclear what the connection is between these events, but they certainly left a lasting impression.
