Brighton has always had a darker side hidden beneath the postcard views and busy seafront crowds. From the ruins of the West Pier to the underground tunnels beneath the Royal Pavilion, the city is filled with stories that locals still talk about today.

Over the years, reports of ghost sightings, strange noises and unexplained events have become part of Brighton folklore. Some people believe the city’s Victorian past, old hospitals, forgotten tunnels and tragic fires have left behind more than just history.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, these places continue to fascinate both locals and visitors across Brighton and Hove.
