Black Horse Inn – England

Nearest city: Pluckley Village, Ashford

Located in Pluckley, often cited as England’s most haunted village, the Black Horse Inn is linked to the village’s darker legends, particularly the nearby Phantom Coach and reports of a male apparition in 18th-century clothing seen near the pub entrance late at night. Staff and patrons have described chairs scraping, doors opening without cause, and the feeling of being watched after closing, especially in the older bar area. Some accounts suggest the activity may be tied to smugglers and highwaymen who once passed through the village, a theme that recurs across Pluckley’s folklore. While quieter than some village sites, the inn remains a regular stop on Pluckley ghost walks due to its consistent, location-specific reports.
