THE SKIRRID MOUNTAIN INN
SITUATED IN LLANFIHANGEL CRUCORNEY, NEAR ABERGAVENNY, SOUTH WALES, THE SKIRRID INN IS REPUTEDLY THE OLDEST AND MOST HAUNTED PUB IN WALES WITH A HISTORY THAT GOES BACK 900YEARS. BETWEEN THE 12TH AND 17TH CENTURY IT WAS USED AS A COURT OF LAW AND 182 DEATH SENTENCES WERE CARRIED OUT AT THE PUB BY HANGING. TO THIS DAY, ROPE MARKS CAN BE SEEN ON A BEAM IN THE STAIRWELL WHERE THE HANGINGS TOOK PLACE. MAYBE BECAUSE OF ITS HISTORY, THE PUB CLAIMS TO BE THE HOME OF SEVERAL GHOSTS OR SPIRITS AND HAS BEEN FEATURED IN TV SERIES SUCH AS, "EXTREME GHOST STORIES" AND "MOST HAUNTED." BED AND BREAKFAST IS AVAILABLE AT THE PUB.

Hi Elettra,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and support.
Hi Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteYou can stay overnight on a ghost watch if you are interested and experience whatever happens. Although it is not far from where I live, I have not ventured to do this myself. Not that I am afraid, it's just because I've never got around to it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
