## Resource

Blake brings us a flashback to 2017, when he and Karen sat down with The Spooktator 's Hayley Stevens to talk about the (allegedly) most haunted village in England. Hayley is a British paranormal researcher who started out a believer and came around to skepticism the hard way - by actually investigating - and she now publishes the newsletter The Ghost Geek . She first appeared on MonsterTalk back in episode 37 to talk lake monsters. This time the subject is Pluckley , a small, film-set-pretty village in Kent that is considerably more famous for its dead than for its living. Pluckley's ghost roster runs somewhere between a dozen and sixteen-plus, depending on who's counting and when - and the number has a habit of going up. There are two different White Ladies, a Red Lady, a highwayman, a phantom coach, and a stretch of woodland that screams. Where does a reputation like this actually come from, who benefits from it, and what happens to a place once the ghost tours arrive? Also - Blake goes looking for a famous piece of documentation that everybody cites and nobody seems to have seen.
