Haunted Locations Brighton

Brighton prides itself on being one of the UK’s most exciting and forward-looking cities. Dubbed “London-by-the-sea”, each year Brighton welcomes hundreds of thousands of day trippers and holiday-makers, who flock to the coastal location to enjoy the gaudy entertainment and garish culture.

However, beneath the merry, candyfloss-coated facade lies a dark and troubled history.Since the dawn of human civilisation, Brighton has witnessed countless tragedies and disasters, as well as innumerable murders, executions, wars, plagues and famines. Although many of these incidents have been lost in the sands of time, the traumas of the past have nonetheless left a deep, psychological scar on the city, a fact that is made manifest by the large number of ghosts that haunt modern Brighton. From drowned children to decapitated soldiers, the city plays host to a shocking array of lingering spirits.
