The Ancient Ram Inn

The Ancient Ram Inn in Gloucestershire, dating to 1145, is considered one of the most paranormally active buildings in England. Built on the site of a pagan burial ground, it has accumulated nearly nine centuries of ghostly residents.

The History

The building served as a priest’s house, then as an inn, before falling into private hands. During renovations, children’s bones were discovered beneath the floor, along with evidence of ritual activity. The discoveries supported local legends of dark practices.

The Spirits

The inn is home to numerous entities. A succubus allegedly visits guests in the Bishop’s Room. A high priestess associated with the pagan site has been sensed. A witch, one of those who may have been sheltered here before execution, appears near the fireplace.

The Bishop’s Room

This room is considered the most active. Guests have reported being thrown from the bed, sexual assault by invisible entities, and overwhelming feelings of terror. Many refuse to spend the entire night.

Investigation

The inn has been investigated by numerous paranormal teams. Its reputation ensures steady interest from researchers and tourists alike. The owner has reported his own dramatic experiences over decades of residence.

Assessment

The Ancient Ram Inn combines genuine antiquity, documented discoveries of human remains, and intense reported activity. Whether a genuinely haunted location or a building whose reputation creates expectations, it remains a destination for those seeking extreme paranormal experiences.
