Sutton Place, Guildford

Sutton Place in Guildford, Surrey, is home to a rather unusual haunting. Staff have reported hearing the unmistakable sounds of furniture being smashed, but whenever they investigate, they can find nothing out of the ordinary. It's as if the destruction is happening in a parallel world, or perhaps it's just a clever trick of the mind. Adding to the mystery are glimpses of a woman in white, who vanishes as quickly as she appears.

Between Rices Corner and Percy Arms, Chilworth

Chilworth's sleepy roads can be unsettling at the best of times, but one stretch in particular has earned a reputation for being downright eerie. It's here, between Rices Corner and Percy Arms, that a cyclist reported a harrowing encounter in the early hours of the morning back in 1960. As he pedalled home from work, he noticed another rider on a bike a short distance behind him. The second cyclist eventually caught up, and the witness called out when he realised the man had no lights on. But it was what happened next that would stay with him forever - the figure on the second bike turned his head, and the witness was shocked to see that the rider had no face, just a blurry area where features should have been.

Clandon House, West Clandon

Clandon House, a grand country estate in West Clandon, Surrey, is said to be haunted by the ghostly apparition of a woman dressed in a cream coloured satin dress.
