🎃👻 Get ready for a spine-tingling adventure to one of Wales’ most haunted hotspots: The Skirrid Inn! Nestled near Abergavenny and dating back to 1100, this ancient pub is steeped in tales of ghosts and ghouls. With Halloween just around the corner, there’s no better place to experience some supernatural thrills. 🏰👻
Featured in Time Out’s list of the world’s most spooky destinations, The Skirrid Inn has a wicked past where convicts were once executed in its stairwell during medieval times. Not only does it have a history as a meeting point for the daring rebellion led by Owain Glyndwr, but it’s famed for its chilling atmosphere and paranormal residents.
Legend has it that the Inn houses the spirits of a stern judge, the infamous hangman, and even a phantom barmaid. There’s also a friendly ghost named Fanny Price, identified by a distinctive lavender perfume. They’ve all captured the imaginations of ghost hunters, including the team from ‘Most Haunted,’ who declared it a favourite ghostly-gathering place in Wales! 🕯️💀
Geoff Fiddler, the pub’s owner, describes encountering a mysterious coachman spectre in broad daylight but admits his eerie experiences are limited. Whether you’re a curious sceptic or a seasoned ghost enthusiast, the Skirrid Inn promises a mix of history, mystery, and perhaps a few unexpected scares.
