Cavalier of Boars Head

Boars Head Public House, Newchurch, Lancashire Apparition English Civil War

The Boars Head Public House in Newchurch is renowned for its paranormal activity. This Lancashire pub has been investigated by the Paranormal Activity Research Team, who picked up some remarkable evidence. They detected the presence of a Cavalier in the attic, which is a fascinating find. Additionally, a figure in the cellar caused a sharp drop in temperature, suggesting that this ghostly entity might be more than just a benign spirit.

Dating back to a time when Royalists and Parliamentarians clashed, it's possible that the Cavalier is a remnant of this turbulent period. The English Civil War had a significant impact on Lancashire, with many battles and sieges taking place in the region. Although we can only speculate about the Cavalier's connection to this historical event, the fact remains that his presence has been felt by many. Alongside the temperature drop in the cellar, these occurrences make the Boars Head Public House a hub for paranormal enthusiasts.
