Amorous Foxes of Dering Woods

Dering Woods, Ashford, Kent Unknown Modern

Dering Woods in Ashford, Kent, is a place where the sounds of amorous foxes have been mistaken for paranormal activity. The Woodland Trust, which manages the woods, has denied reports of a gypsy who accidentally burnt herself to death or a headmaster who committed suicide. Instead, they attribute the strange noises to the nocturnal activities of foxes. It's not hard to see why people might get excited, though - the woods can be a spooky place, especially at night. The Trust has even spent six thousand pounds on clearing up the damage caused by overzealous ghost hunters.

Historically, Dering Woods have been a site of interest for those looking for ghostly encounters. The woods have been the subject of various paranormal claims over the years, but it seems that most of these can be explained by the presence of foxes. The Woodland Trust's efforts to debunk these myths are a testament to the enduring appeal of the paranormal. While there may not be any malevolent spirits lurking in the woods, the sounds of amorous foxes are still a fascinating phenomenon that is worth exploring.
