The Fleece Inn in Bretforton is home to a rather feisty spirit, that of Lola Taplin, the former landlady. Lola's presence is still keenly felt in the bar area where she's known to throw food and other objects around, causing quite a commotion. It's said that she had a bit of a short temper in life, and it seems that hasn't mellowed out much in death. One poor soul reported feeling a deep sense of sadness while in the bar, and even felt a poke in the side, as if Lola was trying to get her attention. It's a strange and unsettling experience, to say the least.

Interestingly, Lola's haunting has been documented since 1977, with numerous reports of her mischievous antics. According to local legend, Lola's spirit has even taken on the form of an owl, watching over the pub from the shadows. While there's no concrete evidence to support this claim, it's clear that Lola's presence is still very much felt at The Fleece Inn. Witnesses have reported a range of experiences, from unexplained movements to unexplained feelings of sadness. It's a fascinating case that has captured the imagination of many, and continues to be a popular topic of discussion among paranormal enthusiasts.
