When Ghosts and Trains Collide: A Spooktacular Journey Awaits!

Ever wondered what a ghost-busting priest and haunted train rides have in common? Join us for a Halloween adventure like no other!

As the autumn leaves fall and Halloween creeps closer, the world around us begins to transform into a hotbed for all things spooky and mysterious. In the quaint town of Whitby, a well-known author and priest who holds the title of ghost-buster is hanging up his cloak in a rather unique way—by putting his enchanting home up for sale. This bestselling novelist has not only scared ghosts from homes but has also captivated readers with tales that bridge the mundane and the supernatural, all while serving as a priest. Could this home, steeped in stories and shadows, be your next adventure?

But wait, don’t pack your ghost-hunting gear just yet. For those yearning to experience scares on the go, Southeastern is rolling out its Halloween special—riding the ominously dubbed “Ghost Train” to Pluckley, famously known as the most haunted village in the UK! This bone-rattling journey departs from Charing and leads thrill-seekers to a place where sightings of spectres are as common as cups of tea. This half-term treat promises to make your heart race, especially when you consider the eerie legends that Pluckley is famous for!

In addition to these ghoulish escapades in the north, Wales has its own ghostly guardian! Meet Elwyn Edwards, a retired publisher turned ghost buster who has dedicated decades to helping those plagued by spirits and otherworldly phenomena. Residents of Llandderfel sing praises of Elwyn’s unique knack for tackling nightly nuisances, proving that with a sprinkle of faith and experience, the supernatural can be tamed. Who knew that a councilman could moonlight as a spectral saviour?

As Halloween approaches, we're reminded that some ghosts aren’t just found in haunted homes but can also be lurking in our oceans! Oceana highlights the issue of ghost gear—abandoned fishing nets and lines that continue to ensnare and harm marine wildlife, creating a chilling metaphor for the pollution haunting our oceans. Let's celebrate Halloween by embracing the spirit of adventure while also protecting our haunted aquatic friends! You may find more spooks than you bargained for in every corner, whether they float through the air or drift in the sea!
