Cambridgeshire's historic pubs have accumulated numerous ghost stories and reports of paranormal encounters as Halloween approaches. The county's centuries-old inns have become popular destinations for both ghost hunters and curious drinkers seeking paranormal experiences.
The Old Ferry Boat Inn is reportedly Cambridgeshire's most famous haunted pub. Legend links it to Juliet Tewsley, a young woman said to have died following a tragic love affair in 1050. According to the accounts, her grave lies beneath the pub and her spirit returns each year on the anniversary of her death. Staff and customers have reported lights refusing to switch off, cold spots and unexplained noises.
The Golden Lion in St Ives, a historic coaching inn, has accumulated several ghost stories over the years. Reports include a mysterious Green Lady, said to haunt rooms 12 and 13, while guests have claimed to encounter the ghost of Oliver Cromwell, who reportedly appears on the 13th of every month. A centuries-old hotel and pub near Ely Cathedral also has a reputation for spectral visitors, with stories describing sightings of a young girl, a maid and a former landlord, along with reports of footsteps and icy cold areas.
