Chatham Dockyards
CHATHAM, KENT
This Naval dockyard was originally built in the 1660s. Historically it is reported that a Dutch Fleet successfully attacked the Docks, with many killed
and wounded, while in 1864 the docks were staffed by French prisoners of war. The most well-known of the Chatham Dockyard ghosts is the
apparition of a young teenage girl whose image has been seen often in a downstairs window. It is believed that she is waiting for her sailor lover
to return from the sea. The ghost of Lord Nelson has also apparently been spotted here, while two other apparitions - one of a woman and the other
of a man - apparently haunt the space which used to be a nursery. There are also reports of a ghost of a female supervisor who died in the 1980s
who apparently haunts here to ‘encourage’ workers who aren't pulling their weight. People have also claimed to have seen a headless drummer boy
and duelling cavaliers.
