Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, is perhaps Britain’s most haunted town, especially in spooky season.
Ghostly monks, chilling legends, and eerie locations make this historic town a magnet for paranormal fans.
Between 1599 and 1694, Bury St Edmunds held England’s largest witch trial, executing 18 people for witchcraft.
The 1662 trial of two elderly widows later influenced the infamous Salem Witch Trials in America.
