The Blue Woman of Newton Abbot
Old Smuggler's Inn Inn, Newton Abbot
Deep in the heart of Newton's historic centre, the Old Smuggler's Inn stands as a testament to the town's rich past. It's here, within the ancient walls of this 18th-century coaching inn, that the spirit of a woman, known only as the Blue Woman, is said to reside. Thought to be the ghost of a woman who met a tragic end within the inn's very walls, her presence has been felt by many over the years. The story goes that she was robbed and brutally murdered, her spirit unable to rest.
