Some places have a reputation for being particularly haunted.
The village of Pluckley in south-east England is one of these. It is claimed to have no fewer than 12 ghosts. The villagers do not agree as to whether the ghosts exist, but it seems unlikely that the village should get its reputation for no reason at all. Researchers point out that conflicting opinions about ghosts can be a sign that they really do exist. If everyone had the same opinion, it would probably mean that they had read the same book or newspaper report.
