If you fancy visiting a particularly scary place this Halloween, then go to Knowlton Church, reputedly one of Dorset's most haunted sites.
It is a ruined 14th century church placed within an ancient Neolithic earthwork. Built there to outdo the old beliefs, it looks like the church has given up to the superior powers of the ancient ways! Halloween, despite the Americanisation of the event, is essentially Britain rediscovering its pagan roots.
When we visited the place, on the ground next to the church there were the remnants of a pagan ritual, probably held there the night before.
The place certainly has a strange atmosphere, go if you dare!!!
