Six Things on
Britain's last witch
Britain has a long history of labelling people as witches, and has legislated accordingly to deal with them. Scotswoman Helen Duncan (1897 – 1956) is best known as the last person to be imprisoned under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 when she was convicted in 1944.
The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor
Dartmoor is an eerie and lonely place, with many reputed ghosts and ghouls to terrify the unwary traveller or solitary farmer. One of the oddest of the potential spooky experiences is an encounter with the Hairy Hands.
The Ghosts of Ham House
Ham House and Garden in Richmond is said to be one of the most haunted houses in Britain - home to about 16 ghosts including that of a duchess, her dog and a heartbroken servant.
The Hellfire Caves - home of the "wicked" Hellfire Club
The Hellfire Caves are a network of man-made chalk and flint caverns which extend 260m underground near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. They were a meeting place of the Hellfire Club in the mid-1700s - an association of upper class rakes and radicals.
The Ghosts of Drury Lane
The Theatre Royal Drury Lane is the oldest theatre site in London, dating from 1663. It's not surprising, then, that with all that history it is also said to be the most haunted theatre in the world.
