This
former pub in Wotton-under-Edge is built on the site of an old pagan
burial site and lays claim to be the most haunted house in Britain.
With
parts dating back to the 12th century The Ram
has become a popular haunt for ghosthunters and has been the scene
of some truly hair-raising ghostly encounters, from drops in temperature
to dancing lights and spectral shadows.
What
is really scary is that most visitors feel the the spirits are unfriendly
- the atmosphere has been described as brooding, oppressive, and
even 'evil'.
Tales
of devil worship, mysterious deaths and exorcisms have long been
associated with The Ram.

It
looks pretty but the Ram Inn is home to some spinechilling
spirits
|
Priests
who have tried to rid the inn of its the spirits have reportedly
been chased away by the malignant forces.
It
has not one ghost but several - including a phantom cavalier, a
witch, a man and a monk. There have also been sightings of a mysterious
black cat.
One
room called the Bishop's Room has the worst reputation. One night
two men stayed there hoping to see some ghostly activity and they
had such a bad night that they had to go and get a vicar to exorcise
them.
Visitor
information: The Ram Inn, at Potters Pond, Wotton-under-Edge
