From time to time, foreign settlers have found home in Brighton, and they have definitely left their signs on the mark, some more than others. So if you have a penchant for ghost hunting, make sure to grab your chance to win a holiday coupon and get ready to explore these spooky locations in this region of South East England: 

Preston Manor

This place has really earned its top spot in the list, and here’s why: built in 1738, the Preston Manor is famous for its appearances of the White Lady, who’s probably the restless apparition of a nun excommunicated from the church and later buried after death in unconsecrated grounds. Also, children have complained about seeing the apparitions of 2 men brawling on the stairs. Menacing and evil presence has been specifically reported in the South West area of this house. 

The Marlborough Pub & Theatre 

Dating back to the 18th century, this particular gem of Brighton is a hotspot for paranormal activity. Concealing a hidden past in its caliginosity, this pub has supposedly witnessed the murder of a woman by her husband, who pushed her down the stairs, then carried her to the pub’s cellar and left her there in agony with injuries until she died. Ever since then, her spirit haunts the place, with reports of disembodied screams, abrupt appearances and noises. 6 exorcisms on different occasions have done little to help the situation. Worth a visit after you win a holiday coupon, isn’t it? 

The West Pier 

Didn’t think this beautiful location could be haunted as well, did you? Well, apparently, the ghost of a pale, gaunt girl is believed to haunt the West Pier, the seafront as well as the clubs located on the seafront arches. As per local accounts, she was in life, a youthful homeless girl who lost her life from drug overdose in 1980s. 

Saint Anne’s Wells 

Settled first by Pagan cannibals, and later by Celts, Romans, Anglos and Saxons, this place is a hotbed of evil activity, according to locals. The most popular stories are those about demonic kids characterised by eyes like that of cat. Also, the site has earned a reputation for itself as a hellmouth, serving as a portal between earth and the realm of spirits.
