On this day in 1950, the Kentish Express published an article by a man named Frederick Sanders under the headline ‘Operation Spooks?’. It was (probably) the first published list of Pluckley's many ghosts, and the first to call it 'the most haunted village in England'. A thread. Sanders' ghosts include: the spectre of a highwayman; the screaming ghost of a man who died in a quarry; a ghostly miller; the shade of the ‘Red Lady’ who haunts a graveyard; the ‘White Lady’ who haunts the site of a demolished mansion; a bush where one can summon the devil..
