Chislehurst Caves
Chislehurt Caves is a tourist attraction comprising of approximately 22 miles of tunnels. They are entirely man-made and were dug and used as chalk and flint mines. The earliest mention of the mines is around 1250 and they are believed to have been last worked in the 1830's.
The Caves are reputedly haunted by the ghost of a girl was who reportedly killed during a cave collapse in 1939, and child-like giggling and crying have been reported. A White Lady emerges from one of the subterranean pools. Some find the atmosphere very oppressive. Pictured left is an interior shot courtesy of Secretlondon.
