Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge

Sidney Sussex College in Cambridge is home to a rather unusual ghostly apparition - a pale yellow head without ears, reportedly that of Oliver Cromwell. This bizarre sighting was apparently spotted floating around Chapel Court in 1967 by a student named John Emslie. What's fascinating about this haunting is that it may be connected to the fact that Cromwell's skull was finally laid to rest under the college's antechapel in 1960, although its exact location remains a secret. The head seems to have been a one-off encounter, but other students experienced strange occurrences around the same time, including cold spots and the smell of rotting meat.
