Journalist explores Chislehurst Caves ahead of Halloween

A journalist toured the underground caves beneath Chislehurst, which stretch for more than 22 miles and are known for ghost stories.
A journalist undertook a solo tour of Chislehurst Caves on the spookiest week of the year ahead of Halloween. The caves form a network of man-made tunnels that stretch for more than 22 miles beneath Chislehurst and reach depths of up to 30 metres underground.
The site has accumulated thousands of years of history, from original excavations in the Neolithic era through to mushroom farming and rock and roll concerts. Countless visitors have reported strange noises and a feeling of being followed within the passages, contributing to the caves' reputation for ghost tales and spirit sightings.
The journalist, who visited as a child but remained sceptical about paranormal stories as an adult, was guided through the tunnels by tour guide Peter House. Gas lamps were used to light the way, casting creepy shapes and shadows across the cave walls. The temperature dropped noticeably as they descended, creating an otherworldly atmosphere far removed from the homes and woodland above ground.
