Thought I'd just mention this, (what seems to be), not that well known haunted location, which I've been dying to do an investigation of for a while.
Tangmere was a Battle of Britain Airfield, being Douglas Bader's base for a while (the local, supposedly haunted pub being named after him), not far from Chichester.
Other investigation groups have reported seeing the figures of uniformed airmen walking across the (partly) still intact runway, and activity has also been reported around the disused, boarded-up control tower. There is also a hanger which is meant to be haunted. Luckily, most of the runway and control tower are accessible to the public at all times, due to a public footpath running across some of the airfield.
One interesting point is that when travellers were illegally camped on the runway a year or so ago, they were so disturbed by the sound of planes (Spitfires?) taking off and landing at night, that they rapidly moved on!
Worthy of an investigation at some point!

When I originally went there the control tower wasn't boarded up, but due to kids getting in etc, it is now.
