While less substantiated than the Grey Lady, there are anecdotal reports from some staff members at The Swan Hotel of hearing the faint sounds of a child. This typically involves giggling or the patter of small feet running in a corridor or courtyard, always when no children are known to be on the premises. No visual sightings accompany these sounds, making it an elusive presence. If a child spirit does reside at The Swan, its origins are unknown, possibly linked to a time when families lived or were housed at the inn, perhaps during wartime or earlier periods of its long history. This presence is scarce but adds another layer to the hotel's rich ghostly lore.
