In the heart of Kendal, Cumbria, stands the now-defunct Prince of Wales Feathers Public House, a location steeped in paranormal activity. Landlady Jen Bowman had a rather unsettling experience back in 2009. She claimed to have encountered a grey-haired apparition who bore a striking resemblance to an old photograph of a former John Nowell. What's even more intriguing is that this ghostly figure seemed to be able to pass through locked doors with ease. It was often spotted near the gambling machine, leaving many to wonder about the story behind this spectral presence.

Digging deeper into the history of the Prince of Wales Feathers, it's clear that the paranormal activity wasn't limited to just sightings. Mild poltergeist activity was also reported, adding another layer of mystery to this haunted public house. Although the exact details of John Nowell's life and connection to the pub are unclear, his apparition has become a focal point for those interested in the paranormal. The fact that the public house is no longer in operation might have contributed to the cessation of reported hauntings, but the legend of the grey-haired ghost lives on.
