My Experience:
1. I heard about this village called pluckley which is famous for ghosts. Since it was a halloween weekend, I went to the village along with a meetup group. We started from London Bridge station around 9.30 AM and reached pluckley about an hour.
2. The weather was cloudy with sunny intervals. Before starting the trail everybody in the group weared their halloween costumes. I was the odd one out there, but considering myself a devil I was way ahead of them in halloween. While walking our guide was explaining about the different ghosts living in the city. Everybody was so anxious to have a feel of the ghost, but ended with no luck.
3. We walked through nice landscapes, apple farms, old church and some graveyards. Some people trying to scare others by wearing masks and it was fun to watch'em. In the afternoon we stopped at a park for lunch and I talked to the fellow travellers. Most of the people were working in london and some of the girls in the group were quite friendly.
4. Around 6 PM in the evening we reached a village pub and I had my favourite guiness with some chicken and rice. It became very dark and we started walking towards the train station through the woods. Lot of people were screaming because that was the fun part of the trail to experience ghosts. But ended up being questioned by police and they warned us that there are anti-halloween people in the village.
5. Around 7.30 PM we reached the station and catched the train back to London. Got one of the girls number on the way back :)
