Grumpy Ghosts
The Lost Gardens of Heligan are beautiful 19th-century gardens in Cornwall, that were cleared, primped up and reopened in 1992, having been overgrown for almost a century.
But it seems that the ghosts of Heligan, perhaps the family who once lived on the estate, don't appreciate their sanctum being woken from its sleep.
A few areas of the garden are reported to have an uneasy air about them. Gardeners are said to be too frightened to work alone in the kitchen garden and the rockery. Several exorcisms have taken place, but a few grumpy ghosts refuse to budge and continue to make their ghostly presence felt!
