Mischievous Poltergeist of White Hart

White Hart Inn Inn, Bristol

The White Hart Inn on Lower Maudlin Street in Bristol has a reputation for being one of the city's most haunted locations. This historic inn has been home to a particularly mischievous poltergeist, known as Aloysius, which was named by the wife of a former landlord. The entity was known to cause trouble by throwing small items around the bedroom and smashing plates in the kitchen. It seems that Aloysius had a bit of a schedule, becoming active for a three to four week period before falling silent again for a while.

Oldbury House on St Michael's Hill in Bristol has a reputation for being one of the city's most haunted locations. During World War II, the building was used as a hostel for BBC staff, but it wasn't long before residents began reporting all sorts of strange occurrences. A ghostly housekeeper was said to roam the halls, accompanied by a thin man resembling a monk and a group of five girls. The atmosphere was tense, with reports of a child's sobs and frequent banging sounds. It got to the point where the BBC eventually moved the residents out, no doubt due to the unsettling nature of the hauntings.
