Bell Hotel Hotel

King Street, Thetford, Norfolk IP24 2AZ

3-star (AA 3-star, Grade II* listed building)

The Bell Hotel is considered by many paranormal experts to be one of the most haunted inns in England, with a reputation that draws investigators from around the world. The primary spirit is a hooded monk, likely connected to the nearby Thetford Priory and the area's strong religious heritage from when Thetford was a major religious center. This benevolent figure appears throughout the hotel but is most commonly encountered in the main suite bedroom. The second major spirit is that of a former landlady from the 18th century, whose presence is felt throughout the building. Guests frequently report the feeling of being watched, unexplained perfume scents, sudden temperature drops, and phantom footsteps.

Spirits: A hooded monk (believed to be connected to nearby Thetford Priory), Betty Radcliffe (18th-century landlady)...

Scole Inn Hotel Hotel

Ipswich Road, Scole, Diss, Norfolk IP21 4DR

4-star equivalent (Historic coaching inn, Grade I listed)

The Scole Inn is home to two distinct supernatural presences tied to violent historical events. The primary ghost is Emma, a young woman who was brutally murdered by her jealous husband in the 1750s after he accused her of having an affair with a highwayman staying at the inn. Emma was innocent of the accusations, making her death particularly tragic. She now manifests as the 'White Lady of Scole,' most commonly seen on the main staircase and in the first-floor room known as 'Emma's Room.' The second haunting involves a phantom highwayman whose galloping horse can be heard throughout the inn as he attempts to escape from authorities, a supernatural echo of the dangerous times when the inn provided refuge to outlaws.

Spirits: Emma (murdered wife) and a phantom highwayman with his horse

The Dukes Head Hotel Hotel

5-6 Tuesday Market Place, King's Lynn, Norfolk PE30 1JS

4-star (AA 4 Star hotel, Grade II listed)

The Duke's Head Hotel is reputedly haunted by several spirits, with both ghosts being suicide victims. The most prominent is the Red Lady - a woman who committed suicide over her inability to choose between two lovers. This tragic figure has been seen walking the corridors and climbing staircases, dressed in red clothing that gives her the distinctive name. The hotel also has supernatural activity connected to The Gambling Ghost of Room 18, a man who accrued large gambling debts and shot himself in the head. Though his suicide attempt was initially unsuccessful, he later died of his wounds in Room 18, telling his would-be samaritans 'I will return' before perishing. His ghostly moaning once drove people away from the room, though this particular haunting has reportedly faded over time. The hauntings reflect the hotel's long history as a place where personal tragedies have left lasting spiritual impressions.

Spirits: The Red Lady (woman who killed herself over two lovers) and The Gambling Ghost of Room 18 (man who died from gambling-related suicide attempt)

The Maids Head Hotel Hotel

Tombland, Norwich, Norfolk NR3 1LB

4-star (AA 4 Star Silver Hotel, Grade II* listed)

The Maids Head is renowned as Norwich's most haunted hotel, home to two well-documented resident spirits. The Grey Maid, believed to be a former chambermaid from the 17th-18th centuries, appears in her mid-to-late 60s wearing an outdated grey maid's uniform from that period. She's frequently seen around the bar area going about her daily chores, always accompanied by the overwhelming smell of musty lavender. The second spirit is Thomas Anguish, a former Mayor of Norwich (1611-1617) who lived in a house that later became part of the expanding hotel. His ghost appears in the courtyard, angrily shaking his head before traveling toward the restaurant area and his former house.

Spirits: The Grey Maid (elderly woman in 17th-18th century maid's uniform) and Thomas Anguish (former Mayor of Norwich 1611-1617)

Tudor Rose Hotel Hotel

11 Nicholas Street, King's Lynn, Norfolk PE30 1LZ

2-star (Historic inn, Grade II listed elements)

The former Tudor Rose Hotel is considered one of King's Lynn's most haunted buildings, with a tragic central ghost story involving a bride who was stabbed to death by her new husband shortly after their wedding. According to multiple sources, this traumatic event occurred within the building and created the hotel's primary supernatural resident - a short woman described as the 'Small Lady' who appears wearing a long white wedding dress. She is most commonly seen walking up the stairs and phantom footsteps are heard throughout the building. Her presence continues despite the building's conversion to residential apartments, suggesting the spiritual trauma transcends physical changes to the property.

Spirits: The Murdered Bride (Small Lady in white wedding dress) and various other supernatural presences including phantom figures clearing snow
