August 13th 👻

Burgh Island is located off the Devon coast facing Bigbury on Sea, the island is linked to the main land by a sandbar.

The island is home to the ancient Pilchard Inn, it is believed that the island is also haunted by none other than Tom Crocker who was leader to a band of vicious pirates in the late 14th century. It was well known that Crocker and his men were indeed responsible for looting and plundering a wide array of ships over many years during the 14th century.
Although Crocker met his demise after a well coordinated attack ordered by the King of England Edward III, this was due to the fact that Crocker had previously attacked an English ship.
His band of men were defeated and surrendered after a brutal fight and Crocker himself was captured and dragged kicking and screaming for his life to the highest point upon Burgh Island from where he was hanged by his neck until he was declared dead. It is said that his restless ghost has been sighted outside the Pilchard Inn and also wandering aimlessly on the shores of Burgh Island!! Crocker's nebulous ghost is said to appear on the anniversary of his death on August 13th every year!!! - KHynes 2025 www.hauntedplymouth.com

Finnygook

The ragged coastline and cliffs located around Portwrinkle and Crafthole are said to be haunted by the smuggler Silas Finn, also known as ‘Finny’.

Legend states that his restless spirit aimlessly roams the cliffs above the beach at Portwrinkle, it is here that Finny was known to land his contraband from the sea which in turn would then be smuggled across the Tamar to Plymouth.
The small cove below the village is today know as Finnygook Beach.

The Octagon

The Octagon is situated just off Plymouth's famous Union Street, it was here during the aftermath of a devastating air raid over Plymouth during the second world war that two young children had a first hand encounter with a spectre.

A ten- year old girl accompanied by her eight-year old brother walked amongst the smouldering rubble in search for the missing family cat. Whilst they carried out searching intensively for there beloved feline, a woman joined them and too began to search along side the two children. A few moments went by when all of a sudden the woman lost her footing and began to stumble upon the small mountain of rubble, instinctively one of the children went to grab her hand to offer assistance, and at this point she faded and completely vanished before the children's very eyes.

It was not until the shocked children returned to their family and retold their odd experience with the woman, that they realised the woman never once spoke to either of the children whilst she assisted them in searching for the family cat.

From the book ‘Haunted Plymouth’ by Kevin Hynes
