The most prominent ghost at The Bull Hotel is Richard Evered, a former landlord who met a violent end in 1648. During the English Civil War, Evered, a Royalist sympathizer, was allegedly stabbed to death in a quarrel with Parliamentarian soldiers billeted at the inn. His spirit is said to haunt the upper corridors and especially Room 4, believed to be the scene of his attack or death. Witnesses describe seeing a man in 17th-century clothing, sometimes with visible bloodstains. His presence is often accompanied by heavy booted footsteps, unexplained chills, or a sense of being watched. Some guests have even reported seeing his figure glaring at them before vanishing. Evered's ghost is generally considered somber and angry, perhaps still seeking justice or peace after his traumatic demise.
