Ghosts of East Anglia

Overview

Everybody loves a ghost story and East Anglia is rich in tales of the supernatural. In centuries past, East Anglia was cut off from the rest of England and with its wild coastline and lovely countryside this landscape has inspired tales of mystery and the macabre. There are hundreds of ghost stories about East Anglia, told by one generation to the next but perhaps becoming a little embroidered along the way. But in the 20th-century, ghosts became the subject of film and television. People's experiences of the supernatural were recorded and television crews actively investigated hauntings.
