One of The Crown Hotel's most poignant spirits is that of a young boy, estimated to be around 6 or 7 years old. His apparition is often linked to a devastating fire that struck the inn in 1683, in which children reportedly died. He is typically seen wearing old-fashioned attire, such as breeches and a ruffled shirt, and appears shy or sorrowful. Witnesses have reported seeing him peeking around corners or briefly in hallways before vanishing. Auditory phenomena associated with him include the sound of a child's footsteps running, faint giggles, or even distant crying, especially near Room 3. A medium once sensed overwhelming 'smoke and a child coughing' in this area. This ghost evokes sympathy, with many feeling a desire to comfort the seemingly lost child.
