About this ebook
Like Ireland, England is filled with the ghosts of the ancient and the new. There are many ghosts which walk the English castles reliving their history time and time again. Then there are the phantom ghosts which walk the busy highways teasing the unwary and having a field day testing the nerves of the motorists who know not what to expect! For those who love the stories about the ancient bloodsucker, tune in to Part I where stories of the ancient creature are told in the most strangest way, all pointing to the fact that Dracula does exist even in modern day England. Then visit some of the most haunted spots in England where you will read about the frightening encounters with the unholy in Berkeley Square to the house that is filled with so many ghosts that even the town council finally gives it up for free all wrapped in a deal with 30,000 pounds to be spent on repairs! There's even the story of the black shuck which will simply haunt the one who comes face to face with this red eyed beast and more stories about haunted houses and everything else that will be enough to tingle your nerves!

Preface:
The ghosts in England simply walk with character even the ones who appear out of nowhere on a highway eager to hitch a ride with you. They have a real story to tell and some say they could foretell doom or good luck. It just depends on how you see them and what they have to say. Some are good and some are bad, and the ones in England, well they come with the strangest types of stories to tell. It is hard to miss them when you are exploring many of the historic houses listed in England because they have become a part and parcel of the establishment themselves. Frightening sttories like the one on Berkeley Square are an instance and there is even the story of the historic manor in Portsmouth mentioned in this piece where you get to meet ghosts who have been one time heroes like Jane Austen's brother as an instance.
The fact is there are ghosts in just about any place in England including the highways and old roads where they might just spring out of nowhere! The English terrain after all is simply ancient and if you see something that is not quite human, it's possible you have seen something. After all, England holds all sorts of creatures. There are even many documented vampiric cases here in England many which have occurred throughout the centuries and they are hardly as appealing as what the American movie networks may have portrayed them to be. They have been romanticized too much and what exists in reality is far from beautiful and charming. If anything, the vampire incidences which were documented here in England tell of creatures which smell of death and decay, hardly the kind any one would like to be held so close to.
So if you want to know about ghosts and monsters and creatures of all kinds, check out England because wherever you are, you will be sure to hear about ancestral homes and inns which that tell you about the history it bears and the sort of spirits which dwell, all designed to have their own unique story to tell!
Dracula Makes a Visit:
Yes, you read that right. Dracula did make a visit to England and he did that plenty of times but there's one place the fiend of the night took rather easily to and that was said to be Highgate Cemetery. Of course, you remember that Highgate was also mentioned in Bram Stoker's Dracula and the site for Lucy's burial where she arose delicately as the walking dead and created her own brood of fiends in the end? Well, Bram Stoker popularized Highgate Cemetery with his intense novel and people became very speculative about Highgate during those years and possibly that reached its peak in the 60s and 70s. Could it be then that Dracula's sightings were simply spurred by imaginative bits from people who simply insisted in seeing the undead rise in Highgate? Maybe people were eager to cause a media frenzy? And just maybe these poor people wanted to be noticed? Just maybe but then how can so many people be claiming to have seen the same thing? Everyone seems to say the same thing.
The reports of that grotesque sighting behind the gates of the cemetery with the gaunt look and the gleaming red eyes simply stirs a fright! Yet, while there are all these claims of an entity stalking the cemetery, there isn't enough conclusive information provided on what Dracula did in those terrible days when he terrorized London in the 1960s and 1970s. There aren't the pictures and the films to verify but he seemed to have found the then abandoned cemetery a perfect hiding ground as he camped the spot for the blood of the living. Some say when he was not able to seek human blood, he found the veins of the foxes and animals a convenient alternative for blood source. Many of those who found dead animals like foxes lying in the cemetery claim that they show strange vampire like wounds. Many like vampire investigator David Farrant also state that the blood of these animals were found drained off their blood thereby suggesting that Dracula exists and is living in the cemetery. But then there are stories of satanic occurrences in this cemetery and the idea that hooded people lug around the cemetery to frighten the unwary witness is not as remote as one would think. Some say the animals are just victims of these cultish practices.
Analysts have speculated for a long time as to the actual occurrences of this sighting and may continue to do so in the years to come, but eye witness reports seem to have confirmed the existence of a tall and dark figure with red glowing eyes and a pale white face which could very well be a vampire. The cemetery however has opted never to discuss Dracula's visitations preferring to dwell more on the site of Karl Marx's burial and the other famous graves it bears. But can this all be true? Did Dracula make a stay at Highgate Cemetery? Some say he never existed and is purely a figment of the imagination. What may also seem rather annoying to some and
