    Spooky Suffolk is a BBC Suffolk series uncovering the county’s lesser-known hauntings. The stories whispered quietly rather than printed in tourist guides.

    The series explores eerie locations across Suffolk, including Landguard Fort, Moyse’s Hall Museum and Somerleyton Hall, where history, atmosphere, and unexplained moments linger. Spooky Suffolk is a chilling journey through Suffolk’s hidden history.
