Jamaica Inn, Launceston 🇬🇧

The Inn was used as a temperance house during the early 1900’s but there has always been some kind of unexplained presence throughout the years. On a moonlit night you might hear the sound of horses’ hooves and the metal rims of carriages in the courtyard outside the Inn. Any attempts to find where the sound is coming from will end in disappointment. It has been reported on many occasions that pacing footsteps have been heard in the corridors outside a bedroom, upon investigation not a person was in sight.
