St Peter’s Church (Ruins)
Stanton Low, Stantonbury, MK14 Mentioned in the Doomsday Book as ‘Stantone’, little is known about the abandoned village of Stanton Low. But it seems that about 100 years ago all the inhabitants just up and left, according to The Spooky Isles. All that is left now are the ruins of St Peter’s church and its small walled graveyard. Even though there are no reports of ghosts or paranormal activity here, the place has a haunted sense of loss and abandonment. Photo: Shutterstock
11. Newport Pagnell
Newport Pagnell According to Julie Wison’s book ‘Haunted Places in Newport Pagnell’, it is Britain’s Ghostliest Town. The ghost of a monk has been seen at the Kings Arms. Two ‘spirit swans’ in the river are said to be star crossed lovers who died horrible deaths, while the ‘lady in grey’ is also said to be frequently spotted, particularly at Tickford Abbey. A haunted telephone exchange and the ‘plague fields’, actually Bury Field, also attract numerous ghostly sightings. Photo: Google Maps
12. Centre MK
Midsummer Place Shopping Centre A ghostly image caught on camera in 2010 spooked CCTV workers at Midsummer Place in MK. A snippet of video footage sent to the MK Citizen at the time showed what appeared to be a transparent and floating white figure. Its location seems to be at the top of the stairs above the famous bubble blowing clock. The suspected spook appears to be holding a black object, perhaps a stick or a sword, in one hand. In one shot, the figure apparently disappeared through a wall, while in another shot, viewers can make out what appears to be a black mask or black glasses on its head. One expert said: “The idea that ghosts should show up on photographs is more of a theory than something supported by evidence. Apparent figures have been seen on occasions but there could be other reasons for these. This doesn’t mean ghosts can’t appear – just that there is no compelling evidence yet that they do.” Photo: Google Maps
