Check out the amazing and supposedly HAUNTED Racton Ruins Racton Monument (known locally as Racton Ruin) is a folly situated on a hill in Racton, West Sussex, England with views over Chichester Harbour and to the Isle of Wight. It was commissioned by the 2nd Earl of Halifax, possibly as a summerhouse for the nearby Stansted Estate, though an alternative theory suggests it could have been constructed so the Earl could watch his merchant ships dock at the nearby port village of Emsworth. There are many rumours and stories that are associated with the ruins, including its use for Occult acts and at one point, its possible use by smugglers. The monument is also popular with paranormal investigators visiting to explore reported paranormal activity at the site. Witnesses claim to have seen bricks thrown from above, heard ghostly shouts and my favourite story is of a "ghost tractor" in the fields that comes right up to you then disappears!
