orkshire is the best place to be if you want to see a UFO but if you're in search of phantoms then you're better off heading south to Kent.

And if you fancy mixing train-spotting with ghosthunting then Dorset is a good choice as it boasts the highest number of railway hauntings.

These facts emerge in a study by paranormal researcher and priest Lionel Fanthorpe, who has identified the spookiest places in Britain over the past 25 years. Big cats, the ghost of Dick Turpin and aliens all crop up in his research based on unexplained incidents reported to the police and leading paranormal organisations.

'The highest form of investigation is never to regard something as so firmly proved that we don't need to look at it again - neither should we laugh out of court anything that seems so ridiculous that it isn't worth investigating,' the 74-year-old said.

UFOs are the most widely reported case of paranormal activity, Mr Fanthorpe says at www.lionel-fanthorpe.com

The study is to mark the launch of Fringe Season 1 which is out on DVD out today.
