Haunted Hosts

A kindly elderly housekeeper spirit who died in the hotel in the early 1900s and continues to tend to her duties, appearing in an outdated grey maid's uniform and always accompanied by the scent of musty lavender.

The spirit of Thomas Anguish, who served as Mayor of Norwich from 1611-1617, continues to patrol the hotel grounds. He lived in a house that was later incorporated into the Maids Head and appears deeply troubled by something he observes.

A peaceful hooded monk spirit, believed to be connected to nearby Thetford Priory, who watches over guests at the Bell Hotel. His presence is felt throughout the building but he most commonly appears in the main suite bedroom.

The spirit of an 18th-century landlady who was so devoted to the Bell Hotel that she continues to care for guests and staff even after death. Her presence is felt through unexplained perfumes and a sense of maternal care.

Emma, brutally murdered by her jealous husband in the 1750s after false accusations of adultery, appears as the White Lady of Scole, still seeking to prove her innocence and find peace.

The supernatural echo of a highwayman who used the Scole Inn as refuge, whose desperate escape attempts continue to reverberate through the building as phantom horse hooves galloping through the night.

A woman who committed suicide over romantic complications involving two lovers, now eternally walks the corridors and staircases of the Duke's Head Hotel, identifiable by her distinctive red clothing.

A bride who was murdered by her bridegroom on their wedding day within the Tudor Rose Hotel. She appears as a short woman in a white wedding dress with infinite sadness, eternally walking the staircase where her joy turned to tragedy.
