| An old Victorian lady in white, a little hazy but otherwise solid, has been seen walking through various rooms and along corridors at night, looking out of the windows; she has also been seen in the upstairs bedrooms where she has been seen crying while seated on the bed. Sometimes there are reports of rose perfume that accompany her. Additionally, cushions sometimes have an impression as if someone had been seated upon them. There have also been reports of poltergeist-like activity including footsteps, lights turning off, doors being found unlocked, a clock falling off the wall and pan lids flying out of the cupboard in the kitchen, landing with a clatter. Staff have reported feeling "a cool hand" on their forehead and a heavy weight on their beds during the night. Interestingly, the hauntings intensified after a small room, probably used by servants, was found in the loft. There is also a story of a little girl who was seen by a cleaner, who had felt something touch her skirt. The cleaner left the next day! |

| An upstairs bedroom known as "The Tear Room" is haunted by the sound of a crying woman. She is said to be the wife of a landlord in the 1820s who was ejected when he found that she had taken a lover. He forbade her from seeing her baby and she died of a broken heart. The crying is said to be the remnant of her weeping, supposedly on the anniversary of her departure as she packed her belongings. |

| The ghost here is said to be Eliza Kleineger, the maid to Mrs Standish who owned the building. She used to collect jewelry from her employees and it is thought that she tried to return to collect them when the original building was ravaged in a fire. Sadly, she perished. After the house was rebuilt as a hotel, her phantom was seen under the central gable, where the servant's staircase was originally located - and where her body had been found in 1886. Her expression is described as worried. |

| A newspaper article in 2024 gave some details on the phantom nun claimed to haunt this property: "The building dates back to 1760, and had a chapel run by nuns as a local school. It is said that one of the nuns fell pregnant and committed suicide. To conceal the scandal, her body was bricked up in an alcove by the other nuns. The hotel was damaged by a bomb in WWII, and her skeleton was discovered by workmen who were carrying out some repairs. The bones were hid elsewhere and since, a figure in brown is said to roam the hotel, especially room 160." Other apparitions include a ghostly maid in "old fashioned clothing", an old man in a tweed suit [possibly the 'figure in brown' above?] in the cellar and, in guest rooms, figures in grey habits have been seen; another (?) figure is said to rise "as if climbing stairs that don't exist." Scratching and whispering sounds, a door being rattled, guests feeling as if they are being pinned down and a basket of toiletries being hurled into the air have also been experienced. Most of the reported phenomena are said to occur in the afore mentioned room 160. |

| Moaning and screaming have been heard, and in addition, a white hooded figure, a woman in white (it is unknown if they are the same figure) and a phantom chimney sweep have been reported. The white hooded woman was such a frequent visitor to one particular room that it is no longer let to guests; she is seen gazing out of the window. Dogs find the pub's atmosphere to be unpleasant and cold spots have been reported as have the sensation of being tapped and someone invisible brushing by: an exploding glass has even been filmed on CCTV cameras, and a salad bowl also put in a similar dissolution. The pub has been exorcised at least three times to no avail. The hauntings may be attributed to the fact that 6 martyrs were imprisoned here in 1521 on the night before their execution by burning in Rectory Woods. The six were Lollards who preached sermons that were deemed heretical by the mainstream church. The gaoler himself, Osman, has been seen in the bar near the fireplace, wearing a cloak. There are said to be as many as nine ghosts in this building. |

| The Swan Revived Hotel |
| High Street, Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes, MK16 8AR |
| A grey figure has been sighted here, thought variously to be a soldier from either the First World War or a Roundhead from the English Civil War; in this latter story, the soldier was an officer who was recuperating at the Swan after losing his leg during practising manoeuvres. He is said to have embarked on a visit to the many hostelries and tried to arrange the services of a prostitute. When he couldn't "perform", she told him that he wouldn't get a refund and after a blazing row, the pair were ejected. The prostitute, by some means, incurred an injury to the head when the pair went to the river Ouse and she ended up in the water, her body eventually washed up. The solider either hung himself in the attic of the Swan, or also drowned himself in the river. As far as other phenomena are concerned, a guest felt someone tugging at him during the night. He thought it was his wife but she denied it. Soon after, a pair of hands grabbed him, pulled him out of the bed and dumped him on the floor. Needless to say, the couple soon left. |

| Dick Turpin is said to have hidden from the authorities in the hotel for 9 weeks before fleeing. His ghost is said to haunt this inn. A fire has been found in a grate, lit by itself apparently, (one version of this story is that the fire burst into life while apparently being observed - this was in Turpin's old room) and a dark figure has been seen at the bottom of people's beds or on horseback outside the inn. Other incidents include: a lady in "period clothes", a short figure standing by the bed in room 33, shadowy figures in the peripheral vision, and items being reported missing, only to reappear days later. Furthermore, in the 1960s, a landlord's dog would howl after midnight on a wednesday for no reason. In addition, writer Daniel Defoe, who is said to have stayed in the inn between 1697 and 1701 is reputed to return as a ghost. His spectre is said to have been seen sitting by the fireplace in the reception, smoking a clay pipe. |

There are unconfirmed reports of a phantom highwayman, but a lot of the activity seems to be poltergeist-like, including beer tankards behind the bar being rattled (accompanied by a coldness in the room). "Communication" via bangings on the wall seem to indicate the phantom of a lady in her 30s who had previously worked here but was not popular with her employer. More recently, a ladies toilet was found to be locked from the inside - there was no window through which one could crawl, and the gap below the door was not high enough to allow exit! |

Rooms 100, 104, 105, 106 and 112 are said to be the focus of paranormal activity inside the hotel; invisible hands would lift up the bedclothes and pinch the legs of the sleepers, while footsteps have been heard and doors unlocked by themselves. 106 is said to be the "worst affected"! A man in a tricorn hat and black cloak has been seen in the corridor (perhaps the afore mentioned Mr.Turpin?) and a woman on the stairs has been encountered from time to time. In 1986, a guest was woken by a man banging on his door shouting "Bella" and a child running about his room, but investigation showed no-one there. Apart from occasional noises, the hotel is said to be quiet - for the time being! |

| A solitary Roman sentry is said to walk from one end of the pub to the other; some reports say that this only occurs in the cellar and that he is only ever heard while other versions of the tale say that the sound is of many men marching, perhaps on the old Roman Road (there are also stories that the building is said to have been built on an old Roman cemetary). Also in the cellar is a monk who is reputed to have been tortured and murdered there, and in the same area, a goblin-like figure has been observed too; and reports exist of screaming, crying and whistling in the cellar. Phantom footsteps have been heard on the 1st floor and more Roman soldiers observed in the bedrooms, alarming waking guests who find figures standing at the end of their beds. The pub is also said to be the haunt of a young girl who is racked with remorse after pushing her mother down the stairs. In the main body of the pub, lamps shades and other items have moved mysteriously. The manager a few years ago said, "In the managers accommodation I have had somebody whispering in my ear whilst trying to sleep, doors opening and closing and all sorts of strange things." |

Another phantom said to have been encountered here originally started off in the stable block; the man in question died there after he knocked over a lantern and set fire to the building and himself.

Sir Francis Drake has also been said to appear in the great hall, wearing his suit of armour and a sword - it is also in the location that Lady Jane has been seen, and a tequila bottle was hurled off a shelf. Rooms 15, 16 and 17 seem to have many reports of phenomena too. |

He has also been seen (understandably!) on the porch, and even "startling" guests when they enter their rooms.

My dad saw the old landlady ghost and he lost the plot, she was sitting up there in the breakfast room. She's always in the same clothes with long grey hair, it's freaky. We found out some history, little Emily had run out the side of the building here and a horse and cart knocked her over and trampled her. Now she's a ghost here. My dad didn't believe it at all but he was the one that got the biggest fright out of all of us when the ghost sat up there." The hotel is also renowned for people often hearing bumps in the night, and the sound of keys jangling. |

| Judge Jeffreys is said to haunt this building, as does a young woman in a long black flowing cloak who appears at the front of the hotel (or walks from the courtyard to South Street, where she vanishes according to some reports); a child's face has also been reported in one of the windows in the bar. A local legend is that members of staff were sent to investigate a smell coming from a well in the courtyard; they never returned but cries for help have allegedly been heard ever since. Another version of this tale is that two men died when they went to repair the long neglected well, but died after being overcome by "an uncommon stench." A third man barely survived. Another legend blames a cockatrice (a mythical creature part lizard, part rooster) for their deaths. Additionally, a spectral boy in old fashioned clothing has been seen crying in this hotel, but he runs off when people approach him. A little girl in a long dress has been seen seated on the steps of the manager's accommodation, seemingly waiting for someone. In the courtyard, a man carrying a whip and wearing a three cornered hat was glimpsed; also in the same area, a "solid looking" woman in a Puritan dresses has also been observed. It is said that it seems as if she is walking up some stairs which no longer exist; first the top half of her body is seen, and then her legs and feet. Also to be seen are "three toga-clad ghosts who march through a wall."In the bedrooms, a bed was felt moving - it faced the corner where a priest hole is to be found; when the furniture in the room was reorganised, the disturbances stopped. Additionally, boxes and other items are found in disarray in the attic, and next door, hand dryers in a disused bathroom often activate by themselves. Taps have also been found turned on, and a former owner's dog reacted in a terrified fashion when taken to the attic. A recent report says that a customer's father was disturbed by someone tapping him in the early hours of the morning, followed by a little boy who ran up and down the corridor, laughing. |

| Disembodied voices are heard in this pub, especially the toilets; it is reputed that the hotel was built on the site of a medieval graveyard. A gentleman named Wadham Strangeways is said to be one of the phantoms in the hotel; he was accidentally killed when the Duke of Monmouth landed at Lyme Regis in 1685 with 82 men to claim the throne from his uncle, King James II. The Duke's makeshift army tried to raise an army and to seek news of the royal army. Strangeways took refuge in the hotel and in the resultant skirmish, a stray shot struck him, dying soon afterwards. Another man, said to have been killed at the same time, is also seen in the same room, which is apparently sealed up. A middle aged lady has also been seen in the reception, chatting to a companion who is invisible to onlookers, and the voice of a child heard in the lounge. |

| The Street, Bowes, Barnard Castle, DL12 9HL |
| The ghost of "Emma" (real name Martha Railton) has been encountered here. In 1713 she fell in love with a local teenager, Roger Wrightson, but their respective parents were bitter rivals, running separate inns. The lovers had to meet in secret but after one meeting on the moorland Roger contracted a serious fever and a few days later his parents agreed that he should see Martha, but her parents disagreed. Roger died of his ailment and Martha died heartbroken immediately afterwards. The parents agreed that they should be buried together. Some reports say that her loved one has also appeared at the inn. On a recent occasion, a guest to the inn wasn't too impressed about the noise of a late night party but when he entered the room, the sound stopped - and he noticed a girl in a green party dress in the middle of the room, who vanished moments later. Roman soldiers are also said to have been seen here, after they were killed by the locals who had "taken a dislike to them." They are said to appear on the anniversary of the deaths - but reports fail to specify when this is. A dark haired man has been seen next to the fireplace (perhaps Roger Wrightson?), and a man in a bowler hat has been observed in various parts of the pub, as has a lady in a grey Victorian dress. Meanwhile, in the cellar, a boy of about 12 years old has been encountered; he was thrown here as punishment and never allowed to leave. A strange shimmering cloud of darkness was also seen in the mirror in the dining room. People also report the sensation of being touched and pushed, and of hearing strange noises in the night. |

| Beamish Hall |
| Beamish, Stanley, Durham DH9 0YB |
| In the late 18th century, Bridget Bellasyse was betrothed to marry Bobby Shafto (who is reputed, but unlikely to have been the owner of the hall at the time) but his eagerness for travel led him to postpone their marriage until he returned from his latest excursion. When he returned he married Anne Duncombe instead and Bridget died two weeks of a broken heart after hearing the news (though some sources say that she perished a fortnight beforehand of TB). The "Grey Lady" seen looking out of the bridal suite and walking along the lower reaches of the hall is said to be her, and a fictitious addendum to the basic story is that a servant saw her when she tried to visit him at the hall and she hid in a casket which locked after her. Her cries were muffled and unable to escape, she passed away, her body being found decades later. There is an impressive catalogue of other apparitions here; a lady in a pink hat and Elizabethan garb in the Eden Bar; "Charlotte" in the reception area; another (?) "Grey Lady"; a man who gazes out a window (despite his clothing dating from the Victorian era, some choose to identify him as Bobby Shafto); and perhaps spectral children in the attic where strange lighting effects have occurred. There are also tales of footsteps in the Shafto Hall, dogs barking, doors slamming, running feet and dark shadows that pass through walls. |

It isn't clear if an apparition has been seen, but in the past a figure has been noted; indeed, the first record of a presence dates back to 17th November 1807 when an "imposing white figure appeared to be peering" over the sleeping residents of the pub, and he was spotted roaming the corridors during the early hours of the morning. It is thought that the ghost is George Ridley, who used to live here with his wife and nine children and another family. He worked in the local mine and vanished without explanation in 1803. |

The priests found a local lady, who died soon afterwhile and sent her to a convent, trying to convince Sir Ralph that his wife had left to become a nun. Some versions of the aftermath say that Sir Ralph did not believe this and had the priests executed - ghostly monks have also been seen in the castle grounds. A young girl aged 5 or 6 in 19th century garb, noises, objects moving, lights and a voice whispering in someone's ear have all been experienced, too. Additionally, a headless horseman is said to ride from the Castle to Finchale Priory, usually on stormy nights.

Surtees was ashamed of him and chained him up in the hall (or to the fireplace - stories vary!). The phantom of a scullery maid is also reported too; she had an affair with Surtees and became pregnant. When his wife found out, the maid was soon found dead. It is said that she may have jumped off the tower to her death, and this may be why her phantom is to be seen on the upper storeys. Room 9 is also the haunt of a dark figure seen in the early hours of the morning, and which unnerves guests so much that some have rapidly departed.

"Light anomalies" have been reported in this room, too. Other ghosts include a "chubby man" who sits on the edge of people's beds; a young woman who was murdered in the 18th century by the Hawkers (or Hawkhurst) Smugglers Gang when they felt she knew too much about their operations; and a female form seated in a chair near the fireplace in room 1 (clothes left on this chair are found to have become damp overnight). However, some versions of this tale say that this happened in room 17 and that a guest woke in the night to see the chair rocking by itself - it is said that the chair has since been removed. Additionally, in room 10, a man was seen to walk through the bathroom wall and across the room before vanishing when he met the wall behind the bed; the couple who witnessed this spent the night asleep downstairs on the couch and refused to return to the room. Room 18 is the haunt of an old man, while in room 5, a dark haired young woman has been seen. In room 19, a man in old fashioned clothes has been claimed (perhaps the "Chubby Man" above?); a guest who stayed in the room saw the figure sitting at the end of her bed, and in a state of terror, she retired to a nearby room with "the matress pulled around her head"! A barman also experienced the unnerving sight (possibly in room 16?) of all the bottles falling off the shelf - he left very soon afterwards! |

| Alice Miller, murdered here in 1633 (or 1638!) soon after she found out that she was pregnant by an influential figure, walks between rooms 5 and 6 through a connecting door which was later bricked up; she is also said to appear as a blur and come up to people and touch them or even talk to them. A guest woke in early in the morning and saw a rocking chair start to move and a lady materialised; when she asked if the guest was all right; he feebly replied "yes!". She nodded and slowly vanished, leaving the chair still rocking. An assistant manager also mentioned waking up at some point to see the chair rocking and a white shape appear. Some identify this spectrally infested room as No.10. There is also a woman in Edwardian costume and a Cavalier who walked through a closed door and then through a window; groups report strange events in the cellar too. There is also said to be an unspecified ghost - perhaps Alice? - in the kitchen. The sound of panicking children have also been heard, a spectral remnant of a fire in the 1970s where people died in the inferno; a small boy has also been reputed to be seen in the parliament room, too. Its mainly children who see him, too but whether he is connected to this fire is not known. Doors opening and closing, items moving, lights swinging, cold spots and other phenomena have been experienced too, including one interesting occurrence in the bar area which is below where Alice used to live; the cushions were found to be stacked up by a nightwatchman - they had been in situ moments before on his previous round. One further phantom is said to be that of a hooded monk, seen in the area near the reception and in the corridors, usually in the early hours of the morning. According to the story, he died trying to rescue children from a fire at the inn "several hundred years ago." |

| A phantom bride in a white lace wedding dress has been seen here; she is also said to wear a pearl necklace with matching earrings, and a red flower. She is said to be seen in the honeymoon suite but was seen at least once in the reception area. A few years ago, a little old lady dressed all in black was seen walking from the bar towards the reception and when a member of staff looked up to speak to her, she was gone. This woman has apparently been seen on a number of occasions and is given the nickname "Val." A member of staff stayed overnight in room 201 and awoke during the night to hear creaking noises, and when she got up in the morning, she found her sheets tucked in (she always slept with her sheets untucked). It was also in this room that a couple who had been attending a wedding show-around had a bizarre experience when the man felt a "chilling sensation" on his neck and when he reached round, he found confetti on the back of his collar! Television sets also have a habit of turning on at any time in many rooms, and affecting a variety of different makes and models of set. There are also tales of disembodied footsteps walking down corridors towards people.

| Footsteps have been heard ascending wooden steps but when they reach a blank wall, the sounds continue upwards even though stairs no longer exist past this point. This is said to occur at 9.30pm, with a descent occurring at 3.30am. The footsteps are said to sound like they are on bare wooden boards - but the stairs are carpetted. The footsteps are blamed, according to legend, on the wife of a fisherman who accidentally let a guide light on top of the inn go out, which resulted in his death and those of several of his companions at sea. In remorse, she is said to ensure in death that the light is lit (even though it no longer exists). |

| The spirit here is said to return to the hall after nightfall on Christmas Eve but it is has been seen on other occasions too. According to the story, a French governess in the 18th century called Lucette became pregnant with an army officer who was staying at the hall one Christmas. He promised to return in the New Year but never did and, being in such a condition out of wedlock, was regarded with disdain until she threw herself to her death from a nearby stone bridge. She was buried in an unmarked grave. In some versions of the tale, the officer returned and learned her fate before dying in a duel with Lucette's brother. Now, Lucette walks the hall and also the stone bridge. But some say that she has been seen all year round; one guest even said that he saw her sitting on the end of their bed. |

| There are many ghosts associated with this building! The inn was a notorious meeting place of ruffians and scoundrels in the past, and one of them returns to the inn as a spectre. A legend is that it is the ghost of a highwayman who had a torch thrust in his face after a robbery was thwarted by the coachman; another version is that the incident happened in the pub itself when soldiers arrived to break up the motley gathering. The ghost is reported to wear a cloak to hide his disfigured face. Another ghost is that of a maid who was murdered by a rat catcher when she rejected his advances; her spirit is said to cower in the corner with a terrified look on her face. Additionally, a former owner of the inn, wearing a cravate and smoking jacket returns to the apartments that overlook Bailgate, where the White Hart is located. However, other accounts say he is a man who was robbed during a stay and the shock killed him. Yet another ghost is that of a man in a military outfit, who is seen on the top floor. The young son of one of the owners has mentioned seeing a lady in a long dress who had tucked him into bed at night on occasion. Ghostly children have been heard parading noisily through the corridors, too. A 17th century cleric roams the underground passages; and outside the hotel, people have heard the sounds of soldiers, possibly Roman, marching or stagecoaches (which have sometimes been seen). Finally, one account reports a phantom cat! In decades gone by, guests have told tales of a dancing ball of light, cutlery and food being thrown off a table, and the sound of a small "explosion." |

| The main hub of the hauntings seem to be room 29, which had previously been numbered 10, and before that, 12. A guest on his honeymoon noted a cold spot outside his room and said that he felt as if someone was pushing the door closed as he tried to open it. Footsteps had been heard pacing up and down the corridor - and then soon after, actually in the room. The same guest saw a young girl, apparently solid, in the room on two consecutive nights. On other nights, he saw the wardrobe handle moving making a rapping sound, and soon aftewards noted TV picture was flickering - and then he saw the aerial lead moving in a whipping fashion. His experiences culimated in waking to find the ghost sitting on his bed looking at him. The figure arose, causing the mattress to rise and, keeping a gaze on him, walked off - and vanished. The guest described the ghost as 12-13 years old, with fair hair, wearing along white gown and a garland around her neck, with her outfit having "puffed out sleeves." The figure was described as almost self illuminating. The manager showed him a portrait and he identified top half of the face as "his" girl, although most of the picture was of someone older - landlady Betty Radcliffe, who died in 1829. Perhaps for this reason, the ghost has been nicknamed "Betty" and has been experienced by members of staff; housekeepers jokingly asked "Betty" if she'd been a good girl and let the guests get sleep, at which point, the room went cold and the staff members fled! In rooms 6 and 8 (though the rooms have probably been renumbered since the mid 1990s), a white haze floated past a staff member into the wall. Children have also been heard playing in empty rooms (where crying has also been heard), keys have been rattled in a lock, and a phantom monk has been seen too, amongst other sightings. |

A guest who took a room in the lodgings above the pub complained the next day of loud voices downstairs at 2am, and of hearing a young couple running down the upstairs corridor giggling and laughing followed by a horrible voice shouting at them. The guest was told that he was the only guest and there was no "lock in." Another guest had the unsettling experience of someone getting into her bed at night. There has also been the sighting of an old man sitting in the corner of the pub after it had been closed and the alarms were about to be set (the barlady who saw him did not stay long enough to get a better look!). In previous years, the old landlady's young grandchildren had a Scalectrix set which would come on by itself, and in the early 2000s, a figure appeared in a photograph taken in the bar, seemingly wearing a Tudor ruff. |

| Both ghosts here are suicide victims. The "Red Lady" (in a suitable coloured dress) walks along corridors and up and down the staircase; she allegedly found it impossible to choose between two men. The other ghost is a tall man in white who shot himself in the head after he accumulated large gambling debts. However, his attempt was unsuccessful and he later died of his wounds in room 18 |

| One of the ghosts here is said to be "Agnes", a nurse or a nanny who fell to her death from her room in the attic and was impaled on spikes. A worker has seen a large black shape that filled a doorway, and the second back room was always cold despite the weather. There is also a tale that the attic is also haunted by a prison guard or police officer; these rooms were said to have temporarily housed prisoners being transported to Norwich. |

| When this was a pub, the ghost was nicknamed "Henry", supposedly one of the first landlords in the 1750s who had a reputation as a trouble maker and loved "messing" with the younger barmaids. By 2018, there were a multitude of inexplicable occurrences; he was blamed for leaving the odour of pipe smoke in one of the rooms (the ghost stopped when the landlady told him it wasn't allowed and he had to go outside); making spoons hanging on the wall sway violently; hurling boxes of beer across the cellar; turning off the gas to the pumps; and perhaps alerting the staff to problems with the lavatory which, left unchecked, would have resulted in the toilet falling through the floor. There are/were other phantoms reported- a young boy aged about 5 or 6 and dressed in blue; a monk around the back of the pub by the graveyard (chanting has been heard beneath the ladies toilets too); a lady in the courtyard; and a nun who walked through the kitchen walls. Whether Henry and chums are still active is not known. |

Some workmen who stayed here heard footsteps walking in the bar during the night. During other times, a sherry glass slid along the bar by an unseen hand whereupon it fell to the floor and smashed, and an invisible force launched a plug out of a bath. |

Other than this, the main phenomena seems to be poltergeist-like activity; two guests found themselves pinned to their bed as the cupboard doors flew open above them; night shift workers have seen items on restaurant tables fly across the room and glasses on bar tables would move by themselves; and a TV set was found turned on in an unoccupied room. Rooms 16/17 are supposed to be "badly haunted" but details are lacking. |

| In the late 1990s, Annie and Charles Coker took on the running of the Lifeboat Inn, which dates back to the 16th century. For sales reasons, she decided that it needed a ghost story to entice customers, and came up with the following tale; "should the oak door creak open and a tall stranger arrive with a cape and a cutlass, it would hardly be a surprise." Coincidentally or presciently, people did indeed soon report "fleeting glimpses" of such a figure in the Smuggler’s Bar (though whether he was adorned with a cutlass is not recorded)! There may be another phantom, but details are scant: ‘Phoebe’ has been seen trying to give away beer! |

| About 2010, a couple stopping in the attic room came down to breakfast asking if the hotel had a ghost! It transpired that during the night the lady was pulled out of bed, and the following night the same thing happened to her partner. Before then, a previous landlord named Matthew Rees would find his customary stool in the kitchen (which led to the attic) moved when he took his evening meal. There have been a succession of small incidents since then. Candles have been found burning first thing in the morning, but these had only just been lit as there was no residue of melted wax. Glasses would fly off the shelves but sometimes would only bounce upon impact with the ground, rather than shatter. There would also be an occasional smell of burning; a recent occurrences was traced it to a loudspeaker but no sooner had the source been identified, the smell vanished and there was no trace of charring. The incidents in the hotel are attributed to "Albert." During a session with ghost hunters about 2010, they had allegedly made contact with this phantom using glass divination (the glass itself was said to be "going mad"). "Albert" claimed to be a man who had killed himself at the Old Hall when he discovered that his girlfriend had been made pregnant by his own father. |

| Many years ago, the unexplained sound of a baby crying was heard in the upstairs area. Disembodied talking was also heard in the main living room, and a chair was heard scraping along the floor by itself outside a bedroom on the top floor. Paw prints were also found going from wall to wall in a disused room on the top floor - they had not been there when that section of the building had been explored previously. The bar area has had problems with glasses being smashed after hours, and a previous landlady talked of her hair being pulled in her sleep. The most recent recorded activity was in 2022 when a guest stopping in an apartment prior to her wedding felt transfixed and unable to move when in the kitchen. She had the feeling that someone was standing behind her and after a few minutes was able to move, whereupon out of the corner of her eye, she saw a tall black figure move into the hallway. |

| An extremely old hostelry, there have been stories of paranormal activity here for (at least) several decades. These seem to have started before 1978 with the sighting of a man in a cloak in the back bedroom, (indeed, it has been said in forthcoming years that the ghost is that of a monk, nicknamed "Fred"). The publicans at the time encountered a few phenomena such as walking into something that was solid but invisible; and successive proprietors have reported strange "search lights" on the wall at night, footsteps, black figures, glasses falling off shelves, pictures being found removed from the walls, temperature drops and the sound of a purring cat - even though there was no such animal in the building. There has also been the claimed sighting of a man in RAF uniform seated near the door who vanished in the short period of time during which the witness briefly looked away. |

| The story is that the ghost here is called "Arthur", a blacksmith whose shop was on the site of the hotel. He was hanged when Cromwell's forces arrived and asked him to provide shoes for their horses but as a Royalist, Arthur refused - and was duly executed. Tobacco smoke, the spectre of a young woman, a door rattling, glasses moving off the shelves and the sensation of being pushed in the back has also occurred here. The phantom is said to be encountered in the wine cellar and two of the bedrooms, including one that overlooks the walnut tree where the blacksmith was hanged. |

| A weight pressing a guest firmly down in bed, moving furniture, and a picture that jumps off the wall have been mentioned as occurring here. This latter picture depicts the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, and legend has it that it is her spectre who inhabits these walls, particularly two of the top rooms and the staircase where she walked en route to her execution (it is on the staircase that strong perfume has also been detected). She has been seen at the bottom of the foot of the bed in one of these rooms, wearing a long black dress. She has also been observed looking out of a window but in this case, only by men. Additionally, cold spots, footsteps and a woman singing and crying have been mentioned; this latter incident was reported on the anniversary of Mary's execution and is said to go on for hours on the top floor. In some of the bedrooms, various phenomena have been reported, such as a swirling white mist and a figure in a long black dress. Interestingly, it is said that manifestations occur after alterations have been made to the building. |

| Footsteps on the stairs, bar and dining area, the feeling of someone brushing past a manageress, a customer in the restaurant who had her back to the wall but felt a push on her arm, a crackling sound accompanied by a "static electric" style shock, and objects falling off the shelves have been experienced here as well as footfalls and shadowy figures in the cellar. There are a number of apparitions here; a woman wearing a grey dress, a phantom nun (also seen in the village) an indistinct figure (who was only seen to one person, while others walked through it, oblivious to the phantom!), a ghost walking in the cellar (which once doubled as a mortuary) from the knees up, a little girl from the Victorian era in the attic and an old lady in the kitchen and other areas. Some of these reports may refer to the same phantom - for instance, the "Grey Lady" may possibly be the nun as that is how witnesses once described it, saying that it looked as if they were viewing it "through a murky glass." Two other phantoms are a former landlord and the barmaid whom he killed due to jealousy; he afterwards killed himself. It seems that the two never meet as spirits. |

| It has been suggested in the past that the ghost here was a cook who had hanged himself in the kitchen from the overhead pipes. Reported phenomena include staff hearing crashing noises from the cellar, which was locked. As staff entered the cellar they saw a crate of mixers lift into the air and being flung across the room; the noises previously heard were made by two crates of empty mixer bottles and a crate of empty beer bottles being hurled around. There is, or was, said to be poltergeist activity in the bar, dining room and kitchen. Items, such as order pads, corkscrews, and a knife used to slice lemons, would go missing and later turn up in the dining room, kitchen or occasionally behind the reception desk. In addition, beer taps would be turned off in the cellar. On one occasion, a staff member who had been left to hold the fort in an otherwise empty hotel heard the noise of the front door swinging open, and looking up, she saw a tall figure wearing a long black coat (like a coachman's) and top hat, walk into the lobby and then go behind reception desk. When she checked there was no-one there. |

It is thought that this man could be a previous landlord who, according to legend, dropped dead after moving two bottles in the window in 1725. The bottles were proclaimed to be cursed by his widow and have lain untouched behind a pane of glass in the window ever since. |

| The "Grey Lady" seen here is believed to be Maud de Lucy, the widow of Sir Thomas, the man who created the castle. She died falling from the battlements and this has been re-enacted on several occasions; other versions of her death claim that she jumped from a window after hearing of his death at the Battle of Shrewsbury after keeping watch for his return from that very same window. Guests say that her phantom has been seen at that window, muttering her husband's name before jumping to her fate. She has also been seen in the Great Hall. A phantom bell and French voices have also been reported, as have visions of the castle being attacked by soldiers and burning; this may refer to an attack upon the castle in 1405 by Henry V's forces when the building was left derelict for some time |

| The management of this hotel claim that there are 60 spectres in this one building! A large black figure charging out of room 20 and trying to break through a fire door, "William" (who murdered his family 200 years ago) in rooms 4, 7, 28, 29 and 30 and the corridors, an airman outside rooms 15-19, an old lady with a walking stick, dark shadows, and a young boy and girl seen and heard laughing in the bar area (where she died after banging her head on the hearth) are some of the phantoms here. Naturally, there are many conflicting stories; for instance, rooms 28, 29 and 30 are reported to be the epicentre of acitivy - the first of these was where the French DeVere family planned to stay but they were murdered by a gypsy and their bodies dumped at sea. Screams have been attributed to a lady named Eleanor who killed herself and her unborn child after she was told her husband Jack had been lost at sea. The ghost of Parson John is said to be seen in September. He was killed when he was brewing ale and the tap on the cask blew off and hit him on the head, killing him instantly; his phantom is said to walk, holding the tap aloft. There are obviously many tales associated with this building! |

In addition, there are stories of a lady in a red dress who appeared from nowhere, as well as whistling and other strange noises in empty corridors and shadow figures. The lady's toilets in the reception have had some stories from patrons that they had heard toilets flushing, "doors clanging" etc but the room was empty when the witnesses left their cubicles. A guest in the south-eastern turret heard banging on the round window, and then saw "weird lights" moving across the ceiling and going through the wall. In May 2026, another guest in the north-east turret heard a "vigorous banging which sounded like someone hammering on the door" but no-one was there; later on the same witness was in the bathroom when she heard a loud clattering, like a maid's trolley but when she put her hand on the door the sound stopped and again, there no-one was present. Soon afterwards, the witness heard footsteps above her head in the roof space, and weighty things being dropped on the ceiling. |

| Historical reports talk of small balls of light rolling along the floor, a mead-making monk in the former scullery, a former owner who sits on a creaky fireside chair, a "wraith-like servant girl" and a spectre who moves firelighters around. More recently, the owner from 2001-23 talked of the ghost of a boy who liked to turn the volume on the music system up and down, and stopped when rebuked; this young wraith was also blamed for CDs being hurled around. The owner also talked of the time that he was locked out and his partner had to let him back in; and a sceptical punter who announced his disbelief in ghosts and had his pint of Guinness taken from his hand. It hovered in mid air for three seconds and then smashed on the floor. The current owner of the inn also told the press that while he hadn't experienced anything himself, some of his staff have heard their names called out when they were in a room by themselves. They'd also seen an individual "at an unsociable" hour and had followed them into the next room but they were no longer there. Intriguingly, the CCTV had recorded certain "unexplainable" things. The current proprietor also said there were about 5 ghosts, two children and three adults. |

The attack on her home is believed to have a severe effect on her health and she died only four months later. Her ghost is still seen, hiding as she did during that riot. She has also been seen indoors, especially the east wing.

Also, in room 201, a member of staff who was off duty reported the room became "hot and oppressive" and felt a pair of hands pressing down on her chest, hindering her breathing. |

| There have been auditory phenomena of footsteps and crying, while the apparitions comprise a young boy and a workman who fell to his death from the roof. An employee on the breakfast shift would often see something running down the hall at 6am. Plates or glasses (and even a decanter full of orange juice) would fall off tables. An employee was using his hoover when it stopped working - he found that it had been unplugged from the wall. Another worker went down into the basement and all the lights went out and the door slammed. Guests have also reported phenomena too; they would wake to find scratches inflicted on their bodies, furniture moved (the sound even kept one guest awake), reflections of someone in the mirror - and even a rocking chair rocking by itself. |

It had been arranged that a bell would be sounded to warn the priest of danger but one day a servant rang the bell as a joke, and the priest died of a heart attack at the thought he had been discovered. However, the accounts of his demise seem confused, with at least one account saying that he died a natural death. Whatever his fate, his phantom is said to be "jolly", "smiling and chuckling" as he hurries down the corridors, but he has also been reported in the grounds, sometimes skipping along and sometimes with his cowl obscuring his head. |

| Guests have reported icy fingers on their back in room 211, their clothing being thrown out of a wardrobe and the sound of applause followed by the noise of someone hurrying away; the ghost apparently does not like women (one reported having her hair yanked, and some versions of this story say that she was pulled out of bed, again by the hair). However, the ghost here has been known to caress the faces of men. A couple asked to be placed in a haunted room and were allocated room 212; they only stayed a few hours before checking out. They did not divulge what they had experienced, but a later guest claimed that "Henry VIII" was in the room! A phantom man and his dog has been seen walking along the corridor between rooms 232 and 233. This same figure may also be the one seen in the James I room, seated at the window; he and his dog have also been seen in a room in the modern wing of the hotel, where they emerge from a wall, cross the room and disappear into the opposite wall. Footsteps have also been heard in the Great Hall (also known as "The Prince Charles Suite"); in the afore mentioned James I suite, a night porter continually heard his name being called out. It occurred so often that he got used to it! A "Lady in Black" is said to have been a regular visitor; in 1974 she was seen dressed in a contemporary mini skirt and walked through a parked car outside the hotel.

The most frequent phantom visitor is that of the Old Grey Lady, usually seen in the grand ballroom, glancing around as if looking for someone, and then seemingly satisfied, she walks down to the reception (she is sometimes described as wearing blue clothing). Poltergeist-like activity has been reported, with a door opening itself obligingly for an approaching porter, a piano playing by itself and candlesticks being lifted into the air.

| Butcher Row, Shrewsbury, SY1 1UQ |
| Allegedly, there are 10-12 active sightings of ghosts in this hotel. The spectre of a young girl who killed herself has sometimes been seen, her body hanging from a beam in the Prince Phillip Suite; this may be the phantom reported in room 5, who likes to remove the bed clothes of single men. This young lady, according to legend, is that of a maid who killed herself after she was abandoned at the altar on her wedding day. Also seen is an elderly man wearing a nightshirt and carrying a candle as if looking for something (and who disappears into a wall!) and a maid named "Martha" on a staircase (perhaps the girl mentioned above?). In rooms 6 and 7 inexplicable noises have been heard, the former is said to be haunted by a jilted bride, the other by a jilted brigegroom. They each committed suicide, and may be related to the young girl mentioned above even though neither ghost is said to be visible according to some sources. Other rooms have reported phenomena too; in the Prince Rupert Suite, a depression was often seen on the bed as if someone had been seated there. In the Prince Rupert Lounge (where the titular royal is said to have lived between 1641 and 1644), the (now) owner and a colleague once spent the night. At one point they went away briefly to get a drink and upon returning, their pillows had vanished. After much searching, they were found in the lift. Three ghosts are said to haunt the basement; these include a young Tudor lad named "Thomas". He is said to be encountered near a wall behind which a pond is/was located, and where he drowned. He is reported to have held the hand of a lady for some 20 minutes, leading her through the hotel and down to the area of the pond. Although the lady could feel his hand, the phantom was not observed. Another presence here is one who interferes with people's necks; one regular visitor to the hotel reports the sensation of being clasped around the neck; and a lady felt someone unclasping her necklace. |

| Frank Griffin, who was wanted for murder was apprehended in his room (No.5) at this hotel. He worked in the building and had murdered Jane Edge, the landlady of the Queen's Head Hotel in Ketley after she caught him rifling through the till. He claimed at his trial he only pushed her away but she died in the fall, and he was hanged for murder. Since then, lights turn on and off by an unseen hand, cold spots have been felt, people smell cheap aftershave, clocks chime at strange hours and move backwards at 8am (the time that the miscreant was hanged), and strange noises have been heard. One man who stopped in the room said that he felt as if he was being strangled. In room 2, a figure was seen to walk through a wall where a door used to be, while in room 4, a sense of coldness was accompanied by the feeling that someone had sat down on the end of the bed - complete with indentation on the covers. Footsteps have been heard walking down the corridor towards room 9, even though it is carpeted.

| Floorboards that apparently showed bloodstains in room 9 were removed here. The story is that a squire got a servant girl pregnant, and when he spurned her, she threatened to tell his wife, whereupon the squire chased her into the hall and murdered her in an upstairs room with a knife, hence the "bloodstains". Some grisly versions say that he slit her throat in her sleep; others say that the lady concerned wasn't a servant, but a governess and that he rejected her "due to his limited financial resources"; while some adaptations of the tale say that the squire pursued her out of the building where he murdered her. This latter variant ties in with reports of her running from the farmyard, across Hollow Lane and through a doorway. The sightings are all around September 8th, presumably the date of her murder. She has also apparently been observed inside the hotel, and the sound of an argument heard which was presumably their final quarrel. Additionally, during renovation work, the architect heard strange noises and his dog wouldn't go into an area of the 1st floor. Finally, people have also heard their name called. |

In the rooms, TV would turn up by themselves to show static, and items would be found moved. In the meeting room, it was common to hear the sound of children laughing - and a young boy in Victorian clothing was seen there. In the old coal store, which was converted into a staff flat and where a butcher had died of a heart attack, the plug to the TV would come out of the wall - and once, when the employee had finished her shift, the kettle and stand was sitting in the bathroom with no explanation as to how it got there. In the 18th century, a coach used to run between Liverpool and London calling into the Dog and Partridge and people who live in the area sometimes hear the sound of horses and wheels running over cobbles in the early hours. |

Later on, after the hotel had been sold, the witnesses's brother visited his old home and was surprised find that another room had been unearthed next to the "haunted room." This new room had initially been noted when the new owners realised that there was an extra window in the attic. When the wall was taken down, a doorway was revealed which led to an empty room - a doorway that the ghost had walked through.

| Chloe, an ex-worker, told of some of her experiences at her old place of employment. A young girl's ghost figure is seen from the street in the room at the top of the building, known as "Mavis' room". During lockdown in 2020, she, her husband (the Head Chef at the time) and her son would check on the building once a week. On one occasion she went to the toilet and could hear some fumbling of footsteps in the cubicle next door. She was on her own in the pub at the time. One Saturday evening after a busy dinner service, she felt a presence behind her and kept looking in that direction. Her husband heard a pan fall onto the kitchen floor from downstairs; again, he was the only person in the building at the time. |

| A man has been seen walking through the closed door of a bedroom, where he stops to look out of the window and go back to the door. Moving furniture and kitchen items, a maid hearing her name called out, and footsteps (and possibly another spectral man?) have also been experienced here too. A military looking ghost in rooms 1 and 2 has been identified as Louis Napoleon (son of the famous Emperor) who lived here in the 1870s; in room 1, actor Roger Moore saw a white, misty figure that floated through the door to his bedside; a maid leaving a bible open at the 23rd Psalm dissuaded the phantom from further visitations; later renovations of the building meant that the wardrobe in this room was disposed of - and the military ghost has not apparently been seen since. A spectral nun, accompanied by the smell of lavender has also been seen on the first floor landing; she has also been seen drifting down the stairs into the restaurant. In the main lounge, an old man has sometimes been seen seated by the fireplace, and a spectral butler observed in one of the front bedrooms. Additionally, there is also a report of a small tabby cat that appeared from nowhere! |

In 1999, a local newspaper reported that a "Grey Lady" in a crinoline dress has been seen infrequently in the evening in the restaurant before walking through a wall. Room 1313, just below the bell tower on the 3rd floor of the Tudor Wing, had a marked temperature drop of about 5 degrees around the middle of the room. This ghost is said to be more frequent and had also manifested in drawers being opened, a feeling of something sitting on the edge of the bed, the TV being moved, and the radio and television turning on by themselves. Complaints from neighbouring rooms in the night about the noise from room 1313 have elicited the response that it was unoccupied! |

| Arrow, Alcester, B49 5NL |
| A grey lady is said to be seen on the first floor and was thought by one of the proprietors to be a nuisance; it does not seem that she is seen very often perhaps due to remodelling of this area. It is thought that the lady was one of two sisters who ran the mill in the 16th or 17th century and was caught in the machinery, killing her. Occasionally, it is said that the river runs red, a spectral remnant of the time a human head was found wedged in the sluice. It seems that a miller in the 19th century had an argument with his wife and in a fit of rage, decapitated her and threw the cranium in the river. The opaque shadow of a heavy man, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and with his arms a little way from its side was once seen in the bar; the witness soon after sought employment at another hotel! |

This may belong to a phantom woman seen in a guest room; she was described as sitting on the bed and wearing a long pale coloured dress. The same phantom (?) was seen going up the stairs to the top floor having surprised an American guest on the floor below. The spectral girl was said to be about 40, had long blonde hair and a white silky dress, and "fluttered" up the stairs. She was said to be "beautiful." Another female phantom has been described, this time a young girl, apparently from the 16th or 17th century. When seen, she was wearing a long pale blue dress and train, and a hat with scarf over it. She faded away when she was greeted. Other phenomena have also occurred: water was once seen streaming down a beam, but there was no source of liquid above - and no puddle underneath could be found either. A girl who stopped with the daughter of the licensee was in bed and felt something wet touching her side and as she sat upright, she heard a "whoosh" from her side of the bed and out of the closed door. A phantom voice has been heard calling staff member's names - the voice sounded like one of their colleagues or family. It would seem that all is quiet in the pub for the time being... |

Intriguingly, the upper storeys have warmed up rapidly - the room soon became cold again. This may be a remnant of a fire that occurred here during Queen Victoria's reign. The conflagration started on the 1st floor and the landlord's daughter (a teenager with "long fair hair") died in the blaze. |

| The Cross, Bretforton, Evesham WR11 7JE |
| It is said that the spirit of Lola Taplin, the last member of that family to own the pub from 1848 until her death in 1977, haunts the building. For much of her tenure, she insisted that her inn was for imbibing alcohol only and food was banned, which may explain one story of a customer whose lunchbox was picked up by unseen forces and thrown to the floor, and builders who returned from a ramble around the village to find their lunchboxes and sandwiches strewn around the (then) deserted building! Other objects have also been known to be flung about and footsteps have been heard here too. At night, there is sometimes the sound of furniture being moved (this occurs when something has been moved from its original location), and upon investigation, the lights downstairs have been turned on - the owner's dog also growls at something too and its hackles raise. Other phenomena include the clock stopping at 3am (said to be the time that Lola died), the alarm going off, and the buds on white flowers dropping prematurely ... but coloured flowers would be unaffected. |

| Although seemingly quiet these days, in recent years the pub was haunted by a portly lady, whose photo was (or perhaps is?) on the wall of the pub. There were problems with the electrical system -lights kept flickering and equipment kept going off for no reason. On one occasion, the swing doors to the kitchen started vibrating. In an attempt to catch on tape the cause of these problems, the landlady set up a video camera in the dining room and cellar, but the batteries died after five minutes. |

| The “Grey Lady,” who is said to be a daughter of a lord in the Chancellor family, had an unfortunate end but there are multiple different tales of her fate. In the first variant, she was raped by soldiers and her child taken from her at birth and left to die, and in despair the poor girl killed herself soon afterwards. Or, some say that she had a relationship with the gamekeeper's son but their child was stillborn, and she “wept herself to death” when the baby was buried without her permission. Or, her father forbade her relationship with a local man and she killed herself. The dates for her tragic fate vary from the 14 th century to the 1650s but there is nothing to corroborate the legend. Regardless of her origins, the phantom has been seen in one of the rooms and also walking to her burial place in the grounds. Also experienced are the ghost of a butler, chairs moving by themselves, TV channels changing of their own accord, appliances activating for no reason, people feeling “tickles on the arm,” sensor lights being triggered and the sound of footsteps and thumps. |

| The Castle Hotel |
| High Street, Conwy, LL32 8DB |
| Some years back, an outbreak of poltergeist-like activity was attributed to a chambermaid who died of a broken heart. The owner of the establishment ignored her wishes to be buried in a churchyard near her home in Anglesey and there then followed the usual glut of ghostly antics, such as lights turning on and off, objects being lost and then found elsewhere and also of guest’s items being found moved. When the girl's body was eventually relocated, the pranks subsided but now "George" is blamed for any mischief that occurs, including the gas supply to the beer in the cellar being turned off and ashtrays being filled with water. |

Newport
| The Priory |
| High Street, Caerleon, NP18 1AG |
| A 2025 newspaper talks of some of the haunted history of this establishment; "the "Priory Ghost" ... is said to have been spotted by governess to the Lee family who lived in the building. She was given the "blue room" which looked over the gardens, but it's said she spotted a ghostly figure twice during her stay. The figure, who was a monk, was described as looking "serene and happy," though the family never gave that room to anyone again." The current owner Benito Martinez wouldn't confirm whether he'd experienced anything himself, but mentioned in an interview that, "Over the years, guests and staff have reported unexplained noises, doors moving on their own, and even the odd sighting. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, it’s all part of the charm." |

County Antrim
| Dobbins Inn |
| 6-8 High Street, Carrickfergus BT38 7AF |
| Maud Elizabeth Dobbin (variously spelt Dobbins, Dobbyn or Dobyn) is reputed to have had an affair with a soldier at Carrickfergus Castle, using a secret underground tunnel to indulge in their trysts. Her husband Hugh murdered her and then decapitated her lover when he discovered their liaison. This gruesome act seems to have spawned at least one spectre, as Maud's spectre sometimes run from the reception to the fireplace, the location of the tunnel; she also causes some alarm to sleeping guests by stroking their faces while they are in bed (this especially occurs in room 21). Unconfirmed stories suggest that her lover and her husband have also returned to the inn as phantoms but if so, it is not recorded if they ever meet! There have been other experiences too; one startled visitor woke to see a lady sitting at a table attending to her hair and as she watched, the vision faded. In the morning, she realised that her room had neither a chair nor table, only a blank wall. It is not known if this is Maud. Some of the many happenings here include; dark shadows; a “black mass” in the reception; people feeling the sensation of breath on their face; chairs moving unassisted; the chef having his apron strings tugged and witnessing pots and pans moving by themselves in the kitchen; doors opening and closing unassisted and people being hit by objects in empty rooms. |
