October is arguably our time to truly thrive. We love a pumpkin spiced latte, have perfected our ~scary~ Halloween costumes and makeup looks, and even know the best DIY decorations off the top of our heads.

But what if you want to take the Halloween celebrations that little bit further? What if you're hoping to get truly spooked with a haunted house, or a terrifying tower?

Authentic Vacations have rounded up the ancient building in the country that play host to ghost stories, creating a list of the best destinations in the UK for spooky scares and ghostly tales? The data was created by analysing the number of mentions in ‘most haunted’ articles and TripAdvisor reviews online, to reveal the best haunted places in the UK.

The places are ranked them based on the number of mentions in scary stories and the percentage of reviews that were scary, and then given a total scare score. While we're not 100 per cent clear on the way that works, rest assured that these places do have scary stories attached to them.

  1. Ancient Ram Inn, Gloucestershire - 61% of ‘scary’ reviews, 22 mentions in scary articles

  2. Chillingham Castle, Northumberland - 39% of ‘scary’ reviews, 20 mentions in scary articles

  3. Skirrid Mountain Inn, Abergavenny - 41% of ‘scary’ reviews, 15 mentions in scary articles

  4. Pendle Hill, Lancashire - 4% of ‘scary’ reviews, 33 mentions in scary articles

  5. Berry Pomeroy, Devon - 27% of ‘scary’ reviews, 20 mentions in scary articles

  6. Golden Fleece, York - 46% of ‘scary’ reviews, 7 mentions in scary articles

  7. Tower of London, London - 1% of ‘scary’ reviews, 20 mentions in scary articles

  8. Schooner Hotel, Northumberland - 43% of ‘scary’ reviews, 6 mentions in scary articles

  9. Tulloch Castle Hotel, Scotland - 41% of ‘scary’ reviews, 4 mentions in scary articles
