A stale musty type smell hit the nose as you walk in the door, much like an old antique shop smells. This atmosphere wasn't helped by the decor within the property, it had been kept very old looking, as though you were stepping back a century or two.
In one of the rooms down stairs, it would have been the lounge bar, I felt a strange presence, it is said this room is haunted by the ghost called the grey lady, because of the way she is dressed. I suppose this would be the traditional image of a female ghost.
Upstairs one of the bedrooms, known as the Cavaliers room, is said to be haunted by a cavalier, a shepherd and dog, an incubus and succubus. We recorded strange temperature fluctuations in this room but we saw no ghosts.
On my second visit to the property, I found strange tapping noises running through my video tape which was left recording in this room. The noise was almost like someone tapping on the microphone area of the video recorder with a pen. The door was closed and measures were taken to ensure the room couldn't be entered without us knowing about it.
Another upstairs bedroom is called the green room, it is said to be haunted by the ghost of a Witch like lady, (What ever that is I didn't take offence). This is the room where the ghost photo below was taken.
I was sitting in a chair to the side of the bed, a fellow ghost hunter (Jason Karl, before he became famous) was sitting on the bed. I suddenly felt a presence, at that moment I picked up my camera and pointed it to where I felt the presence was standing. I couldn't see anything and the other ghost hunter wasn't aware of anything.
When I got home and developed the film the photo showed what I had sensed.
Judge for yourself, I give a 100% guarantee that this photo has not been enhanced or doctored.
The Ancient Ram Inn is located in the village of Wooten under edge in Gloucestershire. It stands on the main road through the village, though no longer an Inn, the owner when I investigated it would let people in by appointment, I don't know if this is still true.
From the outside the building looks old, slightly creepy and strange, it has been altered several times over its history, this is obvious in its architecture. The original front entrance was down some steps straight from the main road.
The owner John claims it was one of the stop off points for the pilgrim fathers, on their way to the Mayflower moored at Plymouth.
The Ancient Ram Inn is reputed to be the most haunted (Ex) Inn in Britain. It is thought to have more than a dozen ghosts.
You must enter the property through the back entrance, as soon as I entered the property I felt something, I don't think it was ghostly but more the atmosphere.
