16 Waterdales, Northfleet

In the 1966 this house hit the news paper headlines with a suspected poltergeist. David Mills in a News Shopper article entitled ‘NORTH KENT: Is where you live haunted?‘ gave the following description of the case.

‘Weird scratching and banging, strange smells and spooky footsteps were too much for one family-of-six, who were so terrified they moved out. And the same happened again a year later to another family, who also witnessed the ghost of a headless woman. The story goes that during the Second World War, a woman died after she was hit by shrapnel near to number 16. A little girl was also killed while riding down the street. Both incidents could be linked to the supernatural phenomena of Waterdales.’
