Most haunted village?

According to Maynard,C;1977;"World of Unknown";Usborne Publishing

Pluckley is claimed as being one of the most haunted villages in England.

Can someone confirm this from other sources?


 * Pluckley was in the Guinness Book of World Records a few years back as the most haunted village in the world. But I have no idea if it is still recognised as such. --Ukdan999 11:04, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I lived in Kent and in my youth read an awful lot about, and did a lot of investigation in, Pluckley, because of its reputation for being haunted. I never saw any evidence of ghosts while there (but I am ambivalent about their existence). What really does worry me is that the ghost stories (and I think the parish website may be partially to blame) have been embellished and added to and otherwise changed in the past 40 years. Someone buried in 7 coffins and an oak sarcophagus? Where did that nonsense come from?

Somehow this has to be re-written to just include the original stories - sadly, these are a bit sketchy - but probably more representative for that reason.


 * I concur - the stories have been much embellished since the 1970s when I used to do the same sort of investigation.Plingsby (talk) 15:44, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Attractions/Advertising
The "attractions" section contains no actual attractions at all, just publicity for local companies. Surely this is (a) non-notable (or particularly noteworthy) and (b) advertising. Wikipedia cannot have room for every small business associated with a town or village to be listed.Plingsby (talk) 15:42, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
