Cross Keys Hotel

Every Christmas Eve (between 11pm and midnight according to some versions of the tale) a spectral man is said to run down a dead-end passage where he vanishes; one report says that he is "a Cromwellian soldier". His footsteps are said to make the ceiling shake. In addition, crockery and glasses are moved around, garlic smelt and a black shadow, flashing lights, a cavalier and a monk have been observed. The most haunted room is said to be No.6
