THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The abandoned Wheal Coates tin mine is surrounded by legends and reports of ghostly activity tied to Cornwall's dangerous mining past. Visitors have described unexplained sounds, shadowy figures, and apparitions around the ruined engine houses and mine workings.
Wheal Coates was once a tin mine, but now the area is long abandoned and falling apart. The mine shaft is said to be haunted by former miners who died there.
