Norfolk has been ranked tenth among the most haunted places in the UK, with 293 recorded ghost reports. Travel specialists Ski Vertigo compiled the rankings using data from the Paranormal Database, which records sightings, folklore and historical accounts of ghosts and hauntings across the country. Reports of UFOs, big cats or other supernatural creatures were not included.

Within Norfolk, Norwich tops the list with 26 sightings, followed by King's Lynn with 17 and Great Yarmouth with 12. Blickling Hall is one of the county's most famous haunted locations. It is said to be visited by the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn on May 19 each year, the anniversary of her death.

Essex claimed the top spot nationally with 422 ghost reports. Other counties ranked highly include Sussex with 404 reports, Kent with 374 and Suffolk with 350. London was not ranked due to the database categorising reports by postcode rather than county.
