Warning to All Ghost Investigator

 I would just like to warn you of a place our team investigated on Halloween. Well should have investigated Halloween.  The investigation was to have started at about 11PM but it did not start till about 12.30AM the next morning, due to the pub landlord double booking us and not ending the second booking at the time it was supposed the end.

We had booked and paid £400 for the whole pub and rooms for the whole night, months in advance. then the landlord tells us he's now got a Halloween party going on, on the same night. He also said in another email, its ok they will be gone by 11PM, then changed it to they were going to move to the barn so that we could start our investigation with out any noise. This did not happen and the landlord had vanished for the night, no one knew where he was. When we complained and said that the people in our group wanted their money back, the barmaid tolled the DJ that he would have to finish at about 12. He was booked till 1AM, and because He did not like that, he tolled everyone in the pub that he had to stop because of the ghost BUSTERS.

This now meant we had paid £400 for three and a half hours and although we had booked all the rooms for the night (Which meant we had them till 10AM) we was asked to leave because the barmaid was tired. It was the most disappointing ghost investigation we have ever done. So please be warned that if you book to investigate the Chequers inn  Smarden Nr Ashford Kent you could get the same treatment. If you do book don’t pay all the money upfront like we did.

Reported paranormal activity

It has been reported that a monk has been seen following a woman and her son around the Canterbury Tales experience.

There have been a number of occasions where, a disembodied hand as been seen.  On one of the sightings the woman said that the hand was gesturing as if to say "stop don't go any farther",

there have also been a number of reports of people feeling that their hair is being touched. One man said it felt like a tingling sensation on the top of he's head.

History of St. Margaret's Church

The earliest documentary reference to the church appears in a Christchurch rental of 1153-67 in which land held by William, Priest of Bourne, is described as being 'opposite St Margaret's Church on a corner near the garden of Benedict the Priest.

Ceramic evidence from an excavation suggests a possible foundation date in the twelfth century, a date supported by the survival of the original mid-twelfth century west door of the church (heavily restored, but fine example of its type).

The church was extensively altered in the late fourteenth century. The west wall of the original building was retained and the north and south walls rebuilt further out. Despite restoration in 1850, typical late medieval details survive in the arcades, which were reconstructed at the time. The aisles originally had sloping roofs and a blocked doorway survives in the first stage of the tower which led onto the roof of the south aisle. Only four bays of the crown-post nave roof survive, this originally extended beyond the existing chancel arch.

In 1985 the church was closed and refurbished as "The Canterbury Tales" tourist and heritage centre.

Join our paranormal investigation team in an upcoming investigation throughout the year at this amazing location steeped in history.
