The Golden Lion HotelMarket Hill, St Ives, Cambridgeshire PE27 5AL 01480 492100 Rooms 12, 13, 14 and 15 and the adjacent corridor were said to be haunted but the building seems to be quiet today apart from a few "strange incidents"; in room 12 or 13 a green lady was to be seen (she even pulled the bedclothes off one guest, it is said) and in No.15, a soldier from the English Civil War era (probably a Royalist) was observed gliding through a wall. It is said that on the 13th day of every month, Oliver Cromwell himself walks the aforementioned corridor; he used the building as his district HQ but in later years when visitors used his room (13) they complained of strange hoises in the night; when they were moved to room 123, a ghost, thought to be Cromwell was seen and one lady saw "the shadowy shape of a man dressed in Cromwellian clothes walk into the bedroom in the early hours of the morning." Poltergeist-like activity has also been recorded, with doors opening and closing and bells ringing. Link: Cambridgeshire Live Link: Cromwelliana |
