Pier, Herne Bay

Herne Bay Pier is home to a rather eerie presence, a shuffling figure that's said to haunt the part of the pier that was cut off from the main section after a storm in 1979. This isolated stretch of pier has become a hotspot for paranormal activity, with many claiming to have caught glimpses of the mysterious figure. In 2012, a video surfaced on YouTube purporting to show this entity, but it's likely that the figure is just a real person who used a boat to land on the isolated section. Still, the atmosphere remains spooky, especially in the evenings when the pier is quiet and the wind is blowing in off the sea.

Thornden Wood Road, Herne Bay

Thornden Wood Road in Herne Bay, Kent, is a seemingly ordinary stretch of road, but it's been the site of a rather unusual paranormal encounter. In 1986, a motorcyclist was riding along this road when their bike's lights failed, followed quickly by the engine cutting out and the brakes jamming.

The sound of large dogs followed, but it wasn't long before the noise faded away, and the motorcyclist was able to push their bike and manage a bump start.
