Lavenham's picturesque, timber-framed houses and ancient streets create a perfect backdrop for ghostly tales. Staying at The Angel, itself haunted, places you at the heart of this atmospheric village.

Ghost Hunting at The Angel:

• Late Evenings in the Snug: Spend time in the pub's snug corner after hours. Staff report this is when the 'Unseen Rocker' (the moving rocking chair) is most active.
• Upstairs Corridors: The oldest part of the house, including Rooms 2 and 4, and the upstairs landing, are where 'The Old Landlady' is often sensed or seen.
• Ask the Owners/Staff: The Angel is independently run. Polite inquiries with owners or long-serving staff might yield personal ghost stories not found elsewhere.

Haunted Lavenham Beyond The Angel:

• The Guildhall of Corpus Christi: Located in Market Square, this 16th-century timber hall is rumored to be haunted by a woman in white, possibly a falsely accused witch.
• The Swan Hotel & Spa: Just a short walk away, The Swan is another historic inn with its own famous ghosts, including a 'Grey Lady.'
• Lavenham Priory: This beautiful half-timbered house, now a private hotel, is said to have tales of a ghostly nun.
• Market Square at Night: Stand in the historic Market Square after dark. The dimly lit, crooked medieval houses evoke a strong sense of the past, and some locals claim to hear residual sounds like phantom horse hooves.

Lavenham doesn't have official ghost walks, but armed with local legends (the hotel might have a history leaflet), you can create your own atmospheric tour.
