The UK is home to a 'mystical' ancient rainforest — and it's haunted

Some report saying a ‘ghost dog’, or hearing eerie whispers as the wind blows. And, legend has it that there’s an angry pack of blood thirsty hellhounds who hunt across the moors at night, searching for lost souls and explorers who’ve lost their way. They’re even said to guard the gates to the Underworld…

And if that’s not scary enough, another tale tells the story of a man who attempted to fell one of the ancient trees… but the oaks got their revenge, curling their roots around the man, crushing him to death. It’s said his cries can still be heard at night.
