This small British village, located in the district Asford de Kent It has become quite a celebrity among the British, because it is said to be the place of residence of a total of 12 ghosts (up to 36 came to be counted in the good times).
saint nicholas, a small and ramshackle church built 900 years ago in the Gothic style, is the main and almost the only element of cultural interest in this small town. In the rear it houses an almost abandoned cemetery full of nameless tombstones, half covered by the lush grass. This church is in turn the "house" of one of the most famous ghosts of pluckley.
It is said that around the XNUMXth century a woman known as La Red lady. According to legend, the red lady was actually the Lady derring and she was buried in seven lead coffins (like a Russian doll) with a red rose in her hands.
The reason for such a curious ritual is not very clear, although some suggest that it was to prevent vampires from sucking their blood or so that their spectrum could not return to the world of the living. The Lady derring He had a son who was taken from him and killed as soon as he was born and who was buried in the church cemetery. They say that the specter of the woman walks every night through the cemetery looking for the burial place of her son.
The "woman in the rose looking for her dead child" is not the only ghost that haunts the church. And it is that apparently there are two other girls, one of them called the Lady in white and the other yet to be baptized, both ancestors of the Lady derring who have chosen the church as their eternal resting place.
