Ghosts of Anzio Army Camp

With literally hundreds of ghostly sightings at this sprawling abandoned village perhaps the most famous is that of a horseman who gallops across the moorland, headless of course. There is the legend of the mermaid who waits patiently for her unsuspecting victims before somehow sending them to their death by drowning them in a local pool. In fact there is even a pub related to this myth in nearby Morridge called The Mermaid Inn.

Other ghost sightings are more sinister and have been seen within the camp itself. These include black shadows moving around as you walk through the endless corridors and buildings, objects being thrown and even more terrifying, unseen hands touching you when you least expect it. 

The Staffordshire moorland where Anzio Army Camp is sited is rife with ghostly activity and on the land itself there have been numerous sightings of shadows and spectres walking around lost and seemingly unaware of why they are there.
