Ep 6 - The Ancient Ram Inn

An 800-year-old former-inn regularly placed at the top of lists of the most haunted places in the world. A place so dark and dangerous that the once Bishop of Gloucester, the Rev John Yates, is said to have tried and failed to exorcise the building and was quoted in the Western Daily Press as saying it was "the evilest place I have ever had the misfortune to visit.” A building constructed atop a 5000-year-old Pagan burial ground, and the skeletal remains of a woman and child were found beneath the floor of the inn, along with an iron dagger, leading to suspicions these unfortunate souls may have been killed as human sacrifices. The building is home to all manner of things that go bump in the night, but does it live up to its infamous reputation?
