Where the Ravens Still Watch

A two-day drive up England's east coast: from centuries of reported hauntings inside the Tower of London, north to the Suffolk airbase at the center of Britain's most thoroughly documented UFO case, and on to the Suffolk coast where a spectral black dog has been reported since the 16th century.

The Field Guide

  1. 01
    London, England · England · United Kingdom
    Tower of London
    Tower of London

    A nearly 1,000-year-old fortress on the Thames where centuries of executions and imprisonments have left it Britain's most consistently reported haunted building, from a sentry-killing "phantom bear" to the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn.

    Begin inside the Tower's walls, where centuries of executions and imprisonments have made it one of England's most reported hauntings -- and where the resident ravens are said to protect the Crown itself.

    Rendlesham Forest Incident
    Rendlesham Forest Incident

    A series of reported unexplained lights and an alleged landed object in Rendlesham Forest, near two RAF/USAF bases in Suffolk, England, over several nights in December 1980, one of the most thoroughly documented UFO cases in the UK.

    Drive northeast into Suffolk to the former RAF Woodbridge perimeter, where USAF personnel reported strange lights and a landed craft over several nights in December 1980 -- still Britain's most thoroughly documented UFO case.

    Bungay, Suffolk · England · United Kingdom
    Black Shuck
    Black Shuck

    A legendary spectral black dog said to roam the coastline and countryside of East Anglia, England, with the earliest written account describing a fearsome 1577 incident at churches in Bungay and Blythburgh.

    Continue north along the coast, where sightings of a huge, spectral black dog with burning eyes have been reported since at least 1577. Treat this as a regional exploration of coastal villages and churches rather than a single site.
