S04-E06 - The Haunting of The George Inn Hotel

A pub till prints a receipt without power.A gaunt figure appears on the landing in eighteenth-century clothing.And beneath an old Preston inn, something buried may have been disturbed.This episode explores the haunting of The George Inn Hotel, a now-demolished pub in Preston with a deeply unsettling reputation among landlords, staff and witnesses who lived and worked there.The story centres on Tom and Ann, whose time running the pub became dominated by strange activity: disappearing objects, oppressive atmospheres in the cellar, flying CDs, slamming doors, and repeated encounters with a tall, thin figure in a wide-brimmed hat who seemed to focus his attention on Tom. As the phenomena intensified, the family brought in paranormal investigator Melanie Warren and a team of mediums in an attempt to understand who — or what — was haunting the building.The case becomes darker still with the discovery of a bereavement ring engraved with the name Robert Clay and the date 1786, found beneath an old gravestone in the pub’s cellar. Local history, rumours of murdered children, a possible connection to a nearby house of correction, and reports of a woman in white all deepen the mystery surrounding the inn.Blending haunted pub folklore, witness testimony, Preston history, poltergeist-like activity and the unsettling question of what may have been hidden beneath the floor, this is a chilling account of a building that may be gone — but whose story still feels unfinished.Enjoyed the episode?
