Haunted Places in Britain I


By night, Highgate Cementery is like something out of a horror movie. Eerie crooked gravestones, headless angles covered in ivy, dark overgrown passages between the tombs, it’s no wonder this is Britain’s number-one ghost spot. Despite it’s chilling atmosphere, by day Highgate Cemetery showcases some of the Britain’s most spectacular Gothic architecture, offers fascinating guided tours. It’s also the burial place of Karl Marx, George Eliott and many other famous people.

If you are brave enough enter the Sexton' Tales , the true life stories of the Victorian men and women which four generations of grave diggers have sat and told one another.

Have a nice time!
