The Story

A ghost nicknamed John is thought by local storytellers to be a former long-term lodger. Haunted Places associates his continuing presence with sudden cold patches on the first and second floors and in the cellar bar. The ghost tradition is separate from the hotel’s better-known UFO festival.
