Welcome to Britain’s most haunted B&B - where terrified guests have been left so
scared they have even jumped out of the windows.
The Ancient Ram Inn, in the village of Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, is believed
to be riddled with up to 20 spectres who torment the paying punters of the 12th century
home.
Built on an ancient pagan burial ground - and also believed to be the scene of child sacrifices and devil worship - the Cotswolds cottage is haunted by the likes of a murdered young girl called Rosie, a high priestess, and even a male sex demon, known as an incubus
The strange goings on include a blood-curdling child’s scream, ‘electrified’ wooden beams, and even the touch of an invisible force.
Caroline Humphries, whose family has lived in the Ram Inn for nearly 50 years, said: 'My father won’t go anywhere without his Bible.'
But despite its ghoulish reputation, Ms Humphries is inundated with visitors who are
desperate to spend a night in Britain’s spookiest lodgings, which were built in 1145
and costs between £25 and £30 per night.
Past guests have fled from the house in the middle of the night after claiming to have seen
furniture flying around the bedrooms, visions of a little girl wandering the hallways, and
have even been pushed down onto a bed by a randy incubus.
Some have leapt from first-floor windows at the back of the property onto a grass slope from a height of a few feet - but no one has been injured as a result.
Now, it is packed out with ghost hunters and horror writers - who are queueing up to spend a night with the demons.
One ghost investigator who visited the house was spooked when a presence pushed up against his back - and felt the wooden beams of the medieval house vibrate and tremble when he grabbed onto them in fear.
A mysterious child’s scream was even captured on video - seconds after a man’s voice
is heard to shout: 'Get out!'
Ms Humphries, 51, said: 'When I was a child, I was so scared of the house I used to
sleep in a caravan outside.

'Once, I woke up and found a chest of drawers hovering over my bed - before it crashed down the staircase.
'People have told us they’ve seen a high priestess sitting in one of the bedrooms, objects move and spin, and we used to hear the ghosts of murdered children screaming and crying in one of the bedrooms.
'We put some children’s toys in the room for them to play with and they don’t cry as much any more.
'The whole house is absolutely terrifying.'
Ms Humphries father, John, 85, was pulled from his bed by a spirit on the first night the family moved into the home - and after researching the history of the house, he was horrified to discover an ancient burial ground lay beneath.
And years later, while renovating the home, he discovered small bones and daggers under the earth - and believes that children had been sacrificed there to pagan gods
years ago.
Ms Humphries added: 'Once we had disturbed one grave, we didn’t want to go digging
any further, and we’ve left the house exactly as it stands.
'Paranormal experts love staying here, but we couldn’t carry on running the house as a
normal bed and breakfast - it’s just too haunted.

'But after nearly 50 years here, I’ve accepted that we have to live with some unwanted house guests.'

I am always a little sceptical when reading article like the above in national and local press, I
always have to stop and think if this is just a marketing gimmick by the owners to drum up
more paying visitors to their business?
Having met the owner of the Ancient Ram Inn John Humphries a couple of times over the
last few years, I do not think this is the case at all in this instance.
John is a very friendly man, but is not a man who is after wealth or is seeking life’s luxuries, he has not had an easy life but all he seeks is enough money to keep the roof over his head and to be able to eat at meal times.
There are many paranormal groups who hire out the Ram Inn for the night to carry out paranormal investigations, as we have ourselves, so John in not short of people wanting to give him money to visit his home. However unlike many other reputedly haunted places we have hired over the years, John has never charged a ridicules fee for hiring the Inn and has not over inflated the hire price as more groups came in existence and wanting to visit the Ram Inn.
