Green Park Ghostly Apparition

Green Park Tavern, Bath, Somerset Apparition Georgian

Green Park Tavern in Bath has a reputation for being haunted by a phantom older woman with a rather unpleasant demeanor. Staff at the pub have reported strange occurrences, including one member of staff who encountered the ghostly figure while restocking the upper part of the building. The witness quickly retreated, understandably spooked by the encounter. The entity is described as an older lady, but little else is known about her identity or what might have led to her untimely demise.

Historical records for the Green Park Tavern date back to the 18th century, when it was a popular meeting place for locals. Fast forward to the mid 2000s, and reports of paranormal activity began to surface. The ghostly apparition of an older lady has been seen on multiple occasions, always characterised by her antisocial behaviour. While the exact nature of her haunting is unclear, it's thought that she may have been a former resident or employee of the pub. Whatever the reason for her presence, the Older Lady of Green Park Tavern remains a fascinating and unsettling figure.
