Stoke Park: We visited Bristol's 'most haunted' park at night and made it through the beautifully eerie site
Located in North Bristol, Stoke Park Estate’s history dates back to the 14th-century when it was a state-of-the-art medieval structure for rabbit hunting.
The park is rumoured to be hunted by the ghost of Lady Elizabeth Somerset, a 17-year old girl who dies in a riding accident in 1760.
Some visitors have reported hearing a horse galloping around the grounds near the monument that commemorates Elizabeth at the top of the hill.
We decided to visit the park at night to find out if the rumours were true. We also tried our luck at spotting some of the wooden sculptures on the way.

01:00We've reached the most haunted part of the park, the Memorial of Life.
01:30This is Lady Elizabeth Somerset, a 17-year-old who fell off her horse and died.
01:37The ghost is rumoured to haunt the area with horses who've been hurt, despite no horses coming around the area in years.
01:47So far during our visit, we have not heard any unusual noises or come across any paranormal activity.
