Seckford Hall Hotel and Spa Hotel

Great Bealings, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP13 6NU

4-star (luxury country house hotel)

Seckford Hall is renowned as one of Suffolk's most haunted locations, with its primary spirit being Sir Thomas Seckford himself. The Tudor founder appears in period dress with his distinctive steeple-crowned hat and wand of office, eternally aggrieved that executors of his estate misappropriated funds meant for the poor. His apparition is accompanied by disembodied muttering about this betrayal. The Hall's most tragic haunting involves the Remorseful Stepmother, whose guilt over deliberately starving her stepchild has trapped her spirit in the library and staircase areas. This legend gained horrifying credibility when infant remains were discovered bricked up in a fireplace during renovations.

Spirits: Sir Thomas Seckford (founder and primary spirit), The Remorseful Stepmother (tragic maternal figure)...

The Angel Hotel Bury St Edmunds Hotel

3 Angel Hill, Bury Saint Edmunds, IP33 1LT

4-star (luxury boutique hotel)

The Angel Hotel in Bury St Edmunds is renowned for one of England's most famous and tragic ghost stories - the tale of the phantom fiddler who disappeared in the underground tunnels while attempting to trace their route beneath the hotel. According to local legend, a brave fiddler volunteered to explore the ancient tunnel system that connects the hotel's 12th-century cellars to the ruins of Bury St Edmunds Abbey. Playing his fiddle as he went so that people above ground could follow his progress, the musician ventured deep into the dark passages. Suddenly, the haunting melody stopped abruptly, and when his terrified dog emerged alone from the tunnel entrance, the fiddler was never seen again.\n\nThis tragic tale has left an indelible mark on The Angel Hotel, with guests and staff reporting mysterious sounds echoing from the underground vaults. The hotel's location on one of England's most haunted streets - Angel Hill - adds to its supernatural reputation, as the entire area is steeped in centuries of ghostly activity. The phantom fiddler's story has become deeply embedded in local folklore, representing not just a single ghost story but a connection to the medieval world of pilgrimage, mystery, and the unknown that once defined this ancient town.\n\nBeyond the famous fiddler, The Angel Hotel experiences various forms of paranormal activity that seem connected to its long history as a coaching inn and its proximity to the sacred Abbey grounds. Staff members working late shifts report hearing unexplained footsteps echoing through the corridors, particularly near the entrances to the underground areas. Guests staying in rooms overlooking Angel Hill have reported sensing presences and experiencing the feeling of being watched, especially during the quiet hours of early morning when the historic streetscape takes on an otherworldly atmosphere.
