<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, 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.
