Ye Olde Punchbowl

All the staff have experienced phenomena, "from screaming noises to ghostly visions both on and off camera" as the website tells us; "There are two resident ghosts ... [the first] is believed to be named Harold and walks throughout the building with his Irish wolf hound dog by his side; sightings of Harold have been reported in the Ludlow suite on many occasions and there was a landlord with the name Harold in the 1800s. Harold was tormented in life and has a disfigured face after a terrible shooting accident and his only companion is [was?] his dog. It is believed that Harold was married but through his own torment he took his wife’s life and also the life of a little girl called Jesse [who is believed to be the second ghost] and walks around the Punchbowl crying as a sad lost soul. Many people, including several of our staff have heard Jesse crying, and Jake our eldest Son used to talk to Jesse when he was just two years old. According to several mediums it is believed that Jesse died an unpleasant death by Harold at the Punchbowl and fears Harold, crying for help when Harold approaches?"
