<em>A new ride at one of the country's biggest theme parks has been moved after fears that it had disturbed an ancient burial ground, prompting paranormal activity. </em>

<em>Workers creating the water ride at Thorpe Park in Surrey for the new season said they started noticing ghostly sightings nearby, including what appeared to be a headless monk. There were reports of objects being moved, workers feeling like someone was watching over their shoulders and sudden cold feelings being experienced.</em>

<em>"The results were so strong, we felt the only explanation could be that an ancient burial ground or settlement was being disturbed, prompting the extra paranormal activity."</em>

<em>Forensic geophysicist Peter Masters, of Cranfield University, has since been called in to analyse the site, using deep ground radar. He said: "From the preliminary investigations, we have picked up signatures similar to that of a burial ground - possibly ancient."</em>

Never mind the ghosts, what's underneath Thorpe Park?!

Before we get too excited about Neolithic burial grounds, underground stone circles and the like, it's worth noting that Thorpe Park have previously <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2683886/Thorpe-Park-bosses-suspend-Ouija-Board-workers.html?print=yes" target="_blank">used haunting tales to promote</a> horror-themed rides.
