It’s reckoned we have more ghosts per square mile than any other country, with one estimate putting the number of ghouls lurking across Britain at a terrifying 50,000.

Here Daily Star picks some of the most horrifying hotspots with spine-chilling tales…

A maid reported seeing a ghostly figure sitting on a bed, while Anwar’s wife saw a child resembling their daughter watching TV downstairs at 5am…despite the fact she was in bed upstairs.

The former council house is reckoned to be inhabited by the terrifying poltergeist dubbed “The Black Monk”.
When Jean and Joe Pritchard moved into the property in 1966 with son Phillip, 15, and daughter Diane, 12, strange things started happening.
Green foam began bubbling out of the taps, lights flickered, cupboards shook violently. As time went on, family photos were slashed and furniture was thrown across rooms.
Diane was even dragged up the stairs by an invisible force that left her with marks around her throat and the family regularly saw a black cloaked figure hovering.
Police officers, an MP and a vicar all witnessed things they couldn’t explain, while paranormal investigators linked the haunting to a murderous 16th century monk, killed nearby.
The family eventually moved out. But in 2016 a ghost hunter photographed a strange black form inside.
