Which takes you on a tour of the city\u2019s most ghoulish locations. Like Northgate Street\u2019s New Inn. Where it\u2019s reported that Lady Jane Grey, who was beheaded in 1554, can be seen gliding across the Inn\u2019s grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Then there\u2019s the city\u2019s old prison. No longer occupied by criminals, it\u2019s tormented by the souls that remain. Stay overnight to experience the apparitions that taunt and follow visitors. From the spirits of children peering through windows, to the female prisoner who returns each night in search of her killer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Or, close to Pittville Student Village, lies Britain\u2019s most haunted village \u2013 Prestbury. Regular ghost tours around the historic buildings and gothic church afford some unlucky visitors, a glimpse of the Black Abbot. Who\u2019s said to tread the same path every time he\u2019s spotted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Present on every most haunted list is the Ancient Ram Inn, Wotton-under-Edge. Reputed as one of the most chilling places in Britain, rarely failing to terrify even the most hardened of ghost hunters. Many visitors claim to be watched from the building\u2019s shadows, terrorised by the menacing dark figures that roam the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And one of Britain\u2019s most haunted castles, St Briavels is located in the heart of the Forest of Dean. Built in 1131, visit to cross the ghostly threshold of what was once a hunting lodge for the kings of England. Now a spectacular youth hostel, seekers of rural solitude often get more than they bargained for.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gloucestershire is home to some of the most haunted places in Britain.
