The Story
Historical Evidence
Possibly the spirits of bygone guests or staff from the inn’s long history. Some speculate one could be a former innkeeper checking on guests, or a soldier from the Civil War era given Wansford’s historic traffic. Without clear clues, they remain unidentified. These shadowy ghosts contribute significantly to the Haycock’s claim as “one of Britain’s most haunted coaching inns.”
