The White Cliffs of Dover are an iconic landmark. Formed by tiny planktonic green algae, the cliffs stay white due to their natural erosion. Beside being an important natural habitat, the White Cliffs have been on the first line of defence for Britian from centuries, housing castles such as the infamous Dover Castle, forts and tunnels beneath, making it a hive of paranormal activity.

The cliffs were home to a prison in the late 1800s, and in WW1 they were home to the Fan Bay sound mirrors which could detect the sound of incoming enemy aircraft.

In World War 2, they were the front line of Britain's defence.

The tunnels beneath housed Churchill's war room, hospitals and shelters, whilst above, gun pits disguised in gardens and heavy artillery perched on top bombarded incoming enemy aircraft and ships.

It's hardly surprising, then, that there are many tales of ghosts still roaming the cliffs, both above and below the ground.

Our White Cliffs ghost is a poignant reminder of the importance of this natural landmark, and the many lives who have been lost on and around it.

The White Cliffs ghost is a chalky white ghost, with silver veins. It has been finished with a UV resistant sealant.

 

The Tall One is inspired by our close neighbours in East Sussex. Thought to originate in the iron age, or even the neolithic period, the Long Man of Wilmington is a 72m tall figure, carved into the steep slopes of Windover Hill.This ghost is uniquely ours, and we're proud to have The Tall One as part of our Signature Collection. It combines elements from Kentish history, as well as our neighbours in Sussex, with whom Kent has always had a close association with.

 

Each Kent Coast Ghost is carefully handcrafted from clay and goes through several processes which include drying, sanding, sealing, painting, and finally varnishing, (dependent on the final finish). We don't use moulds to create our ghosts - every feature is added by hand using traditional clay tools - so every single one has its own unique features. Some of our ghosts are not perfectly straight, or may have different expressions in their eyes and faces...

 

They are also individually hand-painted so may contain slightly different patterning to the ghost pictured. This means that your ghost will not be exactly the same as the one photographed, as each one is as unique as you are.

 

All of our ghosts will be sent in a gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity especially for your ghost, and yours alone. These are put in a special envelope sealed with our very own special spooky wax seal.

 

Different screen resolutions can change the accuracy of the colours slightly, and your ghost may look different from the one pictured due to the handmade nature of these curious creations. Please also note the certificate of authenticity pictured will be unique to your ghost and will contain different information.
