Locals living in 'Britain's most haunted village' say that 'every home there has a ghost' - including the spirits of monks, soldiers, witches and animals.
Some residents living of the ancient village of Dunster in Somerset say almost every building is haunted. They claim ghosts stalk the houses, castle, pubs and hills.
Dunster was once home to a large Benedictine chapel which was destroyed when Henry VIII was King - an act which apparently saw it flooded with ghosts. Locals say they have heard 'voices' in their homes and have seen 'books flying from shelves'.

Sues Toogood, 55, a pharmacy dispenser, bought a cottage in Dunster. She said: "It was a wreck, the heating didn’t work at all and a tiny fireplace was the only source of heat.
"I soon realised that all the smoke from the fire was coming out of a crack in the chimney in the upstairs bedroom. I had nowhere else to go so I slept in the spare room.
"In the early hours of the morning I woke up in the middle of the night to voices. I was a bit scared at first but I walked through and realised it was the radio.
"It was a battery radio that I had put out for the builders. I thought it was strange but I switched it off and went back to bed, but then it happened again the next night.
"I realised that if I had stayed asleep I might not have woken up because of the smoke and carbon monoxide coming in from the other room. I felt like the ghost was saving me from dying, it was a kind presence. I truly believe the ghost was saving me."
