Hawthorns Hotel, Amberley

The Hawthorns Hotel in Amberley, Gloucestershire, is home to a rather unusual poltergeist story that took place back in December 1969. A group of students, who were staying at the hotel while filming a movie called 'Hangman', claimed to have experienced some pretty strange occurrences. It started with a bath that seemed to fill itself, which must have been quite a shock for the students. They also reported hearing the sound of keys falling, but when they went to investigate, they couldn't find anything out of place. It wasn't just the bath and the keys, either - items would move around on their own, which added to the overall sense of unease.
