Dating from 1251, the Ye Old Man in Bolton claims to be the oldest pub in Britain and with an apparent 20 resident ghosts it has more than it’s fair claim to have “a wide range of spirits available”.
The most famous of the ghostly residents is is Charlotte de Tremoille, the wife of Royalist James Stanley, Seventh Earl of Derby. James Stanley spent his last 3 hours in the pub before being beheaded in the square outside. The pub makes quite a feature of these residents including a re-enactment of the events on October 15th.
If you want to interact with some of the other spirits in the pub, why not take one of the guided ghost hunting tours with a professional medium, and equipment such as electronic voice phenomena, table tipping, a seance and even a live orb cam.
