Owls have been regarded as bad omens in multiple periods of time, a striking comparison from the Classical Greek perception of owls being associated with Athena. It was the Romans in particular who regarded owls as omens of death, and when they came to occupy the British Isles, they brought this ideology along with them. In classical mythology the striges were owl like creatures which would feed on the blood of children. So feared were the owls that Pliny wrote that bad news and misfortune followed their screeching cries.
Ironically the smugglers used the owl call themselves as a way of communicating. Sussex has a long history of smuggling activities, so it is not entirely surprising that entities of the dead have been recorded. Numerous sightings of paranormal activity from The Smugglers Inn in East Sussex have been recorded, a pub once owned by Stanton Collins, himself linked to a notorious criminals, the Alfriston Smuggling Gang, before they were later deported for their crimes to Australia.
The attic of the Red Lion Inn , is another building frequented by the ghostly presence of the dead, each ghost said to have been a smuggler when still alive. The Eyrie is set in Rye, an area sited on the edge of the Sussex coast, until the sea retreated, that is still steeped in smuggling tales of old. They were said to have been able to gather an army of five hundred men, should they have needed them, and were based in the Oak and Ivy Inn at Hawkhurst, but also had bases in Rye at The Mermaid Inn and The Olde Bell Inn.
The remnants of the smugglers activities can still be seen within these buildings: secret passages, tunnels and interconnecting attics. A victim of the notorious gang is said to linger in the bar area, perhaps longing for revenge. Iron horseshoes are steeped in folklore, an idea also drawn on in the novella. Used historically throughout the world, it is perhaps best known as a symbol of luck. Some have linked the shape to religious haloes, and connected them with protective auras, since they are made from the magically-regarded metal, iron.
In the graphic novella the horseshoe is represented similarly in this light. This highlights how the horseshoe has both religious and supernatural connotations.

When the sun comes out, families are quick to pack up their beach balls and deck chairs and picnic baskets and make the journey to the stunning coastline which has made the county so famous. However, many of the young families and elderly couples who choose to spend their summers in the county fail to realise that East Sussex has quite a sinister history and has been the scene of much tragedy since it first welcomed settlers in the 5 th Century.
When the sun goes back behind the clouds and those hunting happy memories take their money elsewhere, East Sussex welcomes a different kind of hunter, one in search of ghosts, demons, and the unexplainable. The paranormal fanatics who visit East Sussex all year round might be interested in any number of locations throughout the county. There are dozens, maybe even hundreds, of haunted manors scattered throughout Great Britain, but Preston Manor is very much in a league of its own.
Owing to the history of the site, it is no surprise that the manor is said to be home to a variety of spirits, and the countless renovations which have been carried out over the centuries are unlikely to have done anything but increase the infamous paranormal activity. Among the many ghosts of Preston Manor is The White Lady, who first began appearing to visitors and residents in the 16 th Century. Reports of the white-clad figure increased in frequency during the occupation of the Stanford family, who lived in Preston Manor for so long that they were nearly synonymous with it.

The child attempted to touch the spectre but it vanished before her eyes. A guest of the Stanford family also claimed to have encountered the spirit during a stay at the manor. According to the guest, The White Lady spoke to him and revealed that she had been a nun at the manor during its days as a monastery and was excommunicated in the s, later being buried on unconsecrated land. Shortly after this revelation, builders working on the house uncovered the bones of a middle-aged woman.
The skeleton was dated to the 16 th Century and received a secret burial in St. It opened its doors in after the County Authority of East Sussex elected to build a new lunatic asylum to combat the serious overcrowding in Haywards Heath Asylum.
16 of Sussex’s most haunted places
Those deemed mentally unstable were subjected to a variety of unpleasant treatments and a lack of health and safety guidelines lead to frequent outbreaks of disease. Advancements in medicine and ethics resulted in many changes to the hospital, but it never really achieved anything substantial and the main building was finally shut down in Despite the mass exodus of staff and patients, it seems that some were unable to find their way out of Hellingly Hospital.
The abandoned building went on to become the focus of hundreds of ghost stories and was a popular site for urban explorers. Many of the daring explorers who visited Hellingly Hospital during its years of abandonment reported such paranormal activity as thunderous footsteps echoing throughout the building, unexplainable mists, and feeling physically ill.
Most everybody who entered the building reported hearing dozens of anguished voices, crying, yelling, and screaming for help.

A couple of visitors even claim to have experienced time slips while inside the hospital walls. Only a couple of years ago, the abandoned building which was at one time Hellingly Hospital was demolished to make room for a housing estate, though why anyone would want to live there is beyond me. Pevensey Castle dates all the way back to Roman occupation. It is known that it was constructed in AD, but its original use remains a topic of debate to this day.

After Roman rule came to an end, the castle fell into a state of disrepair before being taken over by the Normans in , from which point it was continuously occupied until the 16 th Century. After those medieval residents left, Pevensey Castle returned to its abandoned state and remained so until it came into the hands of the government in the s. It became a surprisingly useful location during World War Two when machine-gun posts were added to the castle walls to protect the area from German attacks. Among the many reported ghosts of the castle is a lady dressed in white who has been encountered numerous times down throughout the centuries.

The most famous sighting of this particular white lady came when she appeared to a group of campers who had made their beds in a field near the castle. According to the campers, the woman passed by them on her way to the castle walls, appearing despondent and lost. Some pursued her to ensure her wellbeing but turned back once they realised she was not walking to the castle, but gliding.
