Barefooted Woman of Brighton
Bat & Ball Public House, Brighton
The Bat & Ball Public House on Ditchling Road in Brighton has a reputation for being one of the town's most haunted pubs. In the 1990s a witness cashing up at the end of the night was startled to see a barefooted woman wearing a nightdress appear in the bar. She seemed to be dancing, her movements carefree and unhurried. The figure glided through the bar, passing by the witness, and vanished when she reached the corner of the room. This fleeting apparition has left many questions unanswered, and her story has become a favourite among locals and paranormal enthusiasts alike.
