S04E09: Chatham DockyardsDescription: Naval dockyard
Era: Although Queen Elizabeth I visited the area in 1573, the docks weren't moved to the current location until 1622, and the first dry dock was built in the 1660s.
Bloody history: Dutch Fleet successfully attacks the Chatham Docks, with many killed and wounded.
In 1864, the docks were staffed by French prisoners of war.
Ghost ratings: The most well-known of the Chatham Dockyard ghosts – although it is reportedly haunted by several – is the apparition of a young teenage girl whose image has been seen often in a downstairs window. It is believed that she is waiting for her sailor lover to return from the sea.
The ghost of Lord Nelson has apparently been spotted here, although no-one seems to know why.
There may also be two other apparitions - one of a woman and the other of a not-very-nice man - who haunt the space which used to be a nursery.
There is also the ghost of a female supervisor who died in the 1980s who apparently haunts here to prod work
