Something Was Watching Us...The Spirits of Durham’s Haunted Inns

Durham is a city steeped in centuries of history, but its past is not always quiet. In this episode, I share the chilling experiences shared with me by Hannah, a former bar worker who encountered something unseen while working in some of Durham’s most historic pubs. From eerie footsteps in empty rooms to a ghostly child watching from the doorway, these are the hauntings that pub staff never forget. The ghosts of Durham’s inns and taverns don’t just exist in folklore—they are still felt today by those who work behind the bar, lock up at night, and spend the small hours alone in these ancient buildings.
