There is the sinister figure with cape and cutlass at The Lifeboat Inn in Thornham the busy ghost of Mary Queen of Scots at Oundle's Talbot Hotel and even a rather risqu female ghost at The Lion and Swan Hotel in Congleton who appears in the early hours of the morning to tend the fire wearing nothing but clogs and a winsome smile!From Cornwall to Scotland and from Ireland to East Anglia historian and inveterate ghost-hunter Richard Jones seeks out the most charming inns with the spookiest of ghost stories. Richly illustrated with color photography and atmospheric drawings all of the information you need for your own tour of haunted inns is provided. Just be prepared to encounter a ghostly knight or phantom highwayman as you relax with your drink.
