Visitors to the Leeds Castle Stable Courtyard B&B with an interest in the paranormal will find Maidstone and its environs rich in ghostly lore.

Maidstone Town (6 miles): The county town of Kent has several haunted locations. The Maidstone Museum sometimes hosts 'Haunted Museum' evening tours. The Corn Exchange, an old market building, also has its share of ghost stories. Local pubs often have their own resident spirits.

Mote Park (Maidstone): This large public park is rumored to be haunted by a headless rider, among other local legends.

Allington Castle (Private, nearby): Though not open to the public generally, this nearby castle is said to be haunted by a ghostly nun.

Pluckley Village (approx. 20 miles): No ghostly tour of Kent is complete without mentioning Pluckley, England's most haunted village, easily accessible from Leeds Castle.

For a more structured experience, Rochester (about 25 mins drive) offers lantern-lit ghost walks. This guide would further explore these locations with detailed histories, ghost stories, and practical visitor information. [Further detailed historical accounts, specific ghost stories, visitor information, and investigation findings for each site would form the bulk of an 800-1000 word guide. This extended content is not fully available from the provided input but would be researched and included here.]
