The United Kingdom has some of the most haunted sites. National Geographic published an article highlighting some of them and this is one in that series. I encountered many ghosts in England, too, and you can read about them in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon. Here's this week's UK haunting:
Pendle, Lancashire
Nowhere in England is more synonymous with witches than this corner of the North East. In 1612, 12 locals were charged with murder by witchcraft, with 10 of them sent to the gallows, one found not guilty and another dying in prison. The trials are noted as being recorded in remarkable detail by the court clerk. Want to follow in their fateful footsteps? The Walking with Witches Trail passes through the area (no broomstick required), taking in key sites, including churches, a quarry and the village of Roughlee, where a lonely statue of accused witch Alice Nutter stands.
The Pendle witch trials of 1612 were some of the most well-known in British history. Alice Nutter was one of the accused, and visitors can follow in her footsteps on a themed trail through the Lancashire countryside. A statue of the young woman stands in the village of Roughlee.
