If the research about this old building, situated on the outskirts of London, was to be believed then not all was well with this public house.
The inn has been a public house since it was first built in the late 18th century. Our research told us that it's cellar, split into many rooms, was once used as a holding cell for prisoners as they were brought down to the courthouses in London.
Katherine decided that we should carry out our ghost investigation in this old inn when she found out that a lot of the prisoners held in the cellars never left alive. The current owners of the inn told Katherine about some of the ghost activity that kept them awake at night.
Glasses have being thrown off tables, tables and chairs have been moved in the night, and strange ghostly figures have been seen, but the thing that interested our ghost team the most, were the ghostly screams coming from down in the cellar. The staff at the inn refuse to go down there alone, often don't go down there at all in the evenings.
We turned up at the old inn and began our paranormal investigation into the workings of the building. We placed a glass in the middle of table in the bar area ,and sprinkled flour around it. When we would return later on in the evening, the glass may have been moved. We also placed some motion detectors in the hallway between the bar and the cellar area, to catch a ghost that may move through beams.
We brought Annabel in to give us her initial opinions of the inn. Walking into the bar, Annabel felt the residual energy of the past 300 years that still accumulated in the building. She told us of people and noises, the smell of ale, and laughing.
Annabel found it very hard to concentrate on any one given thing, as she was beginning to tell us so before she stopped. Annabel asked to leave for a few minutes for some fresh air. This is something we had never come across before on our ghost hunts, and were quite shocked by this.
After ten minutes outside, she returned and began to tell us about the energies in the building and how earlier she was about to speak, when somebody whispered in her ear "Those that will be judged will be done so here."
She saw a very strong image of a man tied up to a pole as he was being whipped to death. This image had been so vivid that Annabel had to go outside and take a breather to clear her mind.
The ghost image was now returning again. The voice she heard had come from one of the patrons at the inn. She picked up on the name 'Robert'. The criminals were brought here to be held overnight, and many soldiers paid Robert to kill the prisoners during the night. This way, the soldiers could return home earlier than expected, and they would still be paid. Robert was very skilled in his killing of these men.
