Haunted Hotels in Bishops Cannings

Since the east wing of this hotel is built right next to a graveyard, the spooky atmosphere and the eerie occurrences are sure to abound. Guests have claimed that their personal items have been moved during the night, bed sheets have been removed from their place, while a heavy wardrobe has even been moved behind a door, locking its current occupants outside of the room.

The Ragged Cot Inn is around since the 17th century and carries a rather gruesome history. In 1760, the drunken landlord wanted to rob a passing coach. When his wife, holding their baby in her arms, tried to stop him, she fell from the stairs and both she and the baby met their tragic end. The landlord put their bodies in a trunk and they say that when the police came to arrest him, he saw the ghosts of his wife and their baby ascending the stairs like always. Their ghosts have remained on the premises ever since.
