Marchant's Cross, Dartmoor

Deep in the heart of Dartmoor National Park lies Marchant's Cross, a spot where the fabric of reality seems to be thin. It's here that a pack of ghostly hounds, led by the legendary Drake, are said to roam. These phantom canines are known as the Wish Pack or Shuck, and their eerie presence has been felt by many a brave soul who dares to venture into these woods. The hounds are believed to be harbingers of doom, striking fear into the hearts of those who cross their path.

Fardel Hall, Cornwood

Fardel Hall stands tall in the Devon countryside, its grandeur slowly being reclaimed by nature. But it's not just the hall itself that's famous - it's the ghostly presence that roams the grounds, known as the Rustling Woman. Dressed in dark clothing, this feminine shade is said to protect a hoard of buried treasure, and her presence is often marked by the soft rustling of silk in the wind. One field in the area is even said to be impossible to cultivate, adding to the mystery and intrigue of this haunted location.

Plym Valley Trail, Plymouth

Plym Valley Trail is a scenic route that takes you through some of Devon's most stunning countryside. It's here, on the historic viaduct bridge, that a couple had a rather unsettling experience on a February evening in 2020. As they walked along the trail, they spotted a man standing still in the middle of the bridge, dressed in contemporary clothing. Concerned for his safety, they called out to him, but their concern quickly turned to shock as he drifted to the edge of the bridge and vanished into thin air.

Bolton Cross Theatre, Brixton

The Bolton Cross Theatre in Brixton, Devon, is a hub for performing arts, but it's also home to a rather intriguing ghost story. They say that the shade of John Slater, a talented actor, has been spotted here, dressed in the costume from his final show. It's a bit of a sad tale, really - Slater performed at this very theatre one of the last times before he passed away, and his spirit seems to have lingered. People claim to have seen him wandering around, still in character, as if the curtain never fell.

Old Police House, Plymouth

The Old Police House in Plymouth is home to a rather dashing phantom - a police officer in an old uniform, complete with handlebar moustache. This ghostly copper was spotted back in 2010, and it's clear that he's still keeping a watchful eye on the city. With his traditional policing attire, he's a bit of a throwback to a bygone era. You can't help but wonder what he's doing here, and what his story is.
