a tiny creek near the train tracks,

a small pond by a back-hoe stored under a wooden awning,

plants erupting from an old bathtub,

grass white and crispy with frost;

they say the town is haunted,

but maybe its only me

A Walk Around The Haunted Village Of Pluckley In Kent

Having been told by a friend of mine, Paula, that she was going to a village in Kent that was haunted, I had to find out more and go and see for myself. Pluckley is indeed in the Guiness Book of Records for being the most haunted village in the UK, having up to 13 different ghosts sighted there! Another friend of mine, Bill, told me about the unusual windows that they have in Pluckley so I was…

Canterbury done, Ashford next 1/3/2022

Image 1: Some people in the booth recording the song

I’ve got to tell you, the Canterbury district song is mega catchy. Where the song starts slow and energetic rock towards the end!

The nice thing was on the song recording day, at Ian Sadler studio, I got a chance for my vocals to be featured in the song. I attend Square Pegs Singers at the Uni of Kent in Canterbury monthly on Saturdays so it partially counts.

It’s the same recording studio I attended to record the Square Pegs Christmas song, Christmas Harmony, back in 2014.

The recording studio was smaller than the one in Ramsgate. I did feel quite cramped with other people so I stayed in the recording booth, supporting those going in one at a time to sing in the microphone, by pointing at the lyrics across as prompt and support. Katie, the safe guarder at Square Pegs, was proud of me for doing this. 

This is making me a good facilitator.

The next district was Ashford. Myself Paul, Breanna and Adam went to Wyvern School in Great Chart, which is a Special Education school. We worked with a few pupils there. 

We had to do exactly the same tasks like what we did in Thanet and Canterbury. Make a spider diagram about what there is in the Ashford District,e.g. Kent and Sussex Railway in Tenterden, Ashford International station, McArthur Glen Outlet, Pluckley, Big Cat Sanctuary and Biddenden Vineyards.

Victorian seance

Victorian seance pdf#

Summary of the history of spiritualism, a history you can read about in hundreds of physical (oftenĬontemporary) books that are not for magicians (which means they are cheaper). Madame Alexander’s Séance is authentic down to her starched crinoline and bustle. Paul would describe in detail and then explain his take on them. The Victorian Medium History Meets Mystery Reach out to the spirits of the past With an authentic Victorian Séance. Get your tickets here for Séance, a spine-chilling auditory adventure in a superstitious Victorian séance room inside a 40 ft shipping container. Ticket holders will be told where the secret location is on the day of the event. This event is very exclusive and numbers are restricted to a very small number for this very special evening. Instantly wanted to read this e-book because I expected it to be about single seance effects that Arts District Experience is a place where innovation meets imagination. Are you brave enough to join us for a Victorian seance at a secret location in Kents most haunted village of Pluckley. The disadvantage of this is, that he sometimes leaves theĪrea of mystery work and enters the area of "esoteric self help" style cold reading stuff. His psychological approaches, moving away from the "magical" work, working more purely with the I like Paul Voodini's work and I consider myself a student of seance magic. Written exclusively with mentalists and magicians in mind, this manuscript is embellished throughout with period photographs and illustrations and is written in Paul's usual joyful and playful manner! This is Paul Voodini's first in-depth work since 2015, and represents decades of research, performance experience, and his obsession with the Victorian age and the fraudulent mediums of that era. Paul also recounts some of the most famous mediums of the Victorian era, including the Fox Sisters, the Davenport Brothers, and Anna Eva Fay, the first Honorary Lady Associate of the Magic Circle! During this presentation you will learn how the religion known as Spiritualism. This detailed manuscript outlines and explains such techniques and methods as mesmerism and hypnosis, table-tipping, slates, automatic writing, book tests, 'reading' techniques and Q&A, spirit manifestations, the Ouija board, and much, much more! The text also touches on escapology, quick change, and other magical techniques. First you will explore the history of Victorian Seances and death rituals. The Victorians understood queer, in its broadest sense, to mean non-normative, but also, by the end of the century, to define sexual rela- tions between men.

Paul Voodini presents 'Victorian Seance & the Birth of Mentalism', a 17,000 word, 60 page PDF recounting the rise of Spiritualism in the 1800s, the antics, tricks, and techniques of the fraudulent mediums, and how this led directly to the birth of that branch of the magical arts known as 'mentalism.'

Pluckley might be the most haunted village in the UK, but the paranormal ain’t the problem

I remember the first time I went to Pluckley. 

I *think* it was the summer of 2017, so it was one of those long, university summers where I did feck all for 3 months. I had just started exploring the world of the paranormal, so, of course, Kent’s most haunted village was on my to-do list.

I came armed with a screenshot of a village map on my phone, some sunscreen and a best mate in-tow.

Pluckley is legendary amongst us paranormalists, with no less than 12 ghosts laying claim to the small village - which only has a living population of around 1000. But we didn’t bump into the Red Lady in the local churchyard, or the ghostly monk wandering the local roads. Instead, we spent about and hour and a half walking along 60mph roads in 27 degree heat, trying to find out where the haunted pub was and how far was it to Dering Woods and holy shit the next train home is in 23 minutes!

Frustrating as the experience was, it resonated with something I had uncovered in my earlier research of the area.

The residents of Pluckley hate people like me visiting their village. They hate randoms traipsing round the gravestones of their relatives looking to catch a glimpse of a ghost at St Nick’s. They hate people clogging up the local pub and inquiring about the spirits lingering there. And they hate the wave of tourists that crash onto their shores in the week preceding Halloween.

"It's a nice village and these stories ruin it and give us hassle we don't need." Source

Over the years, journalists have trooped to the village just outside of Ashford and asked locals what they think of the legends. They typically claim they joined in on the fun as kids, pulling pranks and sharing stories to keep the dead, well, alive, or had no idea their hometown was famous around the world for its legends.

Even the beating heart of the village - their local pub, The Black Horse - has been recently taken over by owners determined to distance themselves from its paranormal past. That being said, even as the renovated their latest purchase, they experienced a series of strange occurrences. Most notably, equipment mysteriously breaking.

Whether these legends are to be believed is of course up to you. And of course, you do have a right to park up, wander ‘round and harass locals about these ghost stories until they tell you to f*ck off. But Pluckley, like so many other supposedly haunted locations, is just a place. It’s sleepy, it’s small and it’s not that enjoyable to wander around its residential areas for an entire day.

(Don’t get me wrong, it does have some lovely footpaths, but most of the time I was stuck walking at the side of the road trying to find the spookiest places.)

So, here’s some of my top tips for being respectful when you visit paranormal places like Pluckley.

#1 - Study up first

If the locals aren’t too keen to talk about local legends, make sure you do your research before hand so you know what you’re looking for, where you can find it and the full story behind it.

You’ll want to draw as little attention as possible to the fact that you’re there to seek out the spirits of Dering Woods or learn more about the local ghost monk.

Even knowing where you can park without disturbing the local residents is just a small thing you can do to ensure you’re not getting in anyone’s way.

#2 - Come with a fully-fledged itinerary

Every time I’ve gone to Pluckley, I’ve drained my phone using Google Maps trying to work out where each spooky hotspot is. Even working out how to get into the local pub took waaay to long (it’s through the gate and at the side, if you’re wondering).

Next time, I’ll be doing my research to make sure I have a distinct route to follow, taking in each local legend without having to troop back and forth to different spots, and know how to find each one. No more dithering about how to enter the woods or find the right church.

For places as simple or residential as Pluckley - that is, they don’t have tourist signs pointing out each ghost sighting - this is crucial to having an enjoyable day out and not pestering locals that won’t be willing to point you in the direction of their urban legend.

#3 - Find out how open the locals are about the legends

Pluckley’s locals might be a bit hesitant to discuss their home’s reputation, but some towns and villages might be up for it. When you do your research into the legends, research how the locals feel about it, too.

Read reviews on Google for each location, see whether websites for local places have content dedicated to it on their websites or if there are tourist facilities dedicated to paranormal visitors there. If in doubt, assume they don’t want to talk about it - better safe than sorry!

And even if the locals aren’t willing to speak about hauntings, they’ll be happy to discuss their history with you.

#4 - Don’t forget to celebrate the living, too!

Even small villages like Pluckley are full of cute shops, boutique cafes and historic pubs. While you’re not trying to harass the locals, why not give something back to them?

Also, speaking honestly, wandering around residential areas isn’t that exciting. You don’t want to waste a day looking for paranormal activity that (probably) won’t happen.

If you liked this blog, make sure you leave a like and reblog it to let me know! And while you’re there, don’t forget to hit follow.

I’m trying to get into posting more regularly, again, but I’m just kinda doing what feels right.
