The Ghosts and Magic of Somerset & The Cotswolds

Locations: Lower Slaughter, Wells, Cheddar, Boughton on the Water, Snowshill Manor, Glastonbury, Rollright in Oxfordshire, Moreton in Marsh, Wookey.



My paranormal tour this year took me to Somerset and Gloucestershire, mainly the Cotswolds area. Unfortunatly I didnt get to visit Prestbury due to time commitments.

Two Figures on Steps
Location: Wells - Wells Cathedral, Chapter House
Type: Unknown Ghost Type
Date / Time: 19 April 1954
Further Comments: There is a photograph two people in white, possibly a child with its mother, standing on the steps. The photographer reports that no one else stood in front of the camera at the time of the long exposure.

MORETON IN MARSH

According to local research, Moreton also has an extraordinary number of ghosts. Dame Creswycke apparently haunts the Manor House Hotel; Redesdale Arms Hotel has ghostly footsteps; an ethereal male appears at the White Hart Royal Hotel; a poltergeist called Fred haunts the Black Bear Inn and a "hugging" ghost roams the Bell Inn! Leamington House visitors have also been recently overcome by a strong and sudden smell of orange blossom.
