Parliament Oak Ghost

Parliament Oak Public House, Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire Apparition Victorian

The Parliament Oak Public House in Mansfield Woodhouse has a reputation for being one of Nottinghamshire's most haunted pubs. A customer reportedly watched in amazement as an elderly woman walked through a wall and crossed the corridor, before disappearing into another wall. This sighting is particularly noteworthy as it involved a physical apparition, rather than just a disembodied voice or unexplained noise. The fact that the pub is no longer operational has not diminished its paranormal fame.

Historically, the Parliament Oak has been a staple of the local community for many years, dating back to the Victorian era. In 1996, disembodied breathing and voices were reported in the toilets, adding to the pub's ghostly reputation. Although the pub is now closed, the legend of the 'Little Old Lady' lives on. Witnesses describe the apparition as an elderly woman, but details about her identity or connection to the pub remain a mystery. The lack of recent activity may be due to the pub's closure, but the Parliament Oak remains a fascinating case study for paranormal enthusiasts.
