Maybe you’re not alone in those isolated links after all. There are many golf courses around the world that are haunted by the spirits of those who have left this world.

Here are six of the spookiest haunted golf course stories from courses around the world. You think?

1) At Enfield Golf Course in Hertfordshire, England, golfer Martin Harrow and a friend were walking down the fairway around 8 or 9 p.m. The moonlight was bright that night, and by the light they could see someone moving towards them on the opposite side of the street. As it moved towards them, they realized that it was a figure wearing a cloak and floating above the ground, surrounded by a misty cloud.

The figure directly approached Harrow and his friend, and before Harrow could run for his life, he peered into the cloak’s hood. He saw nothing but a writhing, maggot-covered rotten mass. Enfield Course was once a burial pit for people who had succumbed to the Great Plague of London.

2) According to legend, at Trails West Golf Course in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, the ghost of Catherine Sutter still wanders aimlessly, searching for her children and husband, who disappeared while she was traveling in the area in the 1880s.

3) In Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the Victoria Golf Course is famous for its beautiful seaside setting, but also for the ghost of Doris Gravlin. She was murdered by her husband Victor de Ella in 1936. He strangled her and then dragged her down 7th Street, hiding her under a pile of logs near the beach. Many golfers have seen a globe of pulsating light and even a white figure near the seventh fairway.

4) The Braemar Golf Course in Edina, Minnesota is apparently haunted by the ghost of a homeless black man named Jim who died on earth. He makes things difficult for golfers as balls go into the hole and then back out again.

5) An apparition of eight monks has been seen sadly strolling down the fairway of the Aetna Springs golf course in California. The monks have been seen several times and are described as having expressions of agony and pain on their faces. They are believed to be Dominican friars, who were tortured to death by rival Spanish Franciscans in the 16th century.

6) There is a legend about the Hilton Head golf course in South Carolina, involving two young lovers who were walking across the course on a summer afternoon. Suddenly, a strange bluish light caught their attention and they saw how it floated in the air. She gradually turned into the figure of a young woman in a beautiful Victorian dress. Her dress was exactly the same as the one Caroline Fripp wore the night a hurricane killed her in 1898. Several people also reported hearing sobbing and feeling a strange presence in the field.

These are just a few of the strange stories of paranormal activity on golf courses around the world. Next time you play a few rounds, remember to watch out for otherworldly company that might join you!
