Old inn has spirits of the spooky kind

by Ashley Nield of the South Wales Argus

Glasses were mysteriously sent flying at The Skirrid Mountain Inn at Llanfihangel Crucorney last year when former landlady Heather Grant attempted to sell the pub.

Maria said: "We're trying to be as respectful as we can and I don't think we've disturbed anyone yet."

But daughter Francesca, 12, disagreed: "I thought I saw a face staring at me through a window," she said.

There's good reason to take "sightings" seriously at The Skirrid - 180 rebels from the Monmouth Rebellion were hanged there in 1685.

The Skirrid has been an inn since 1110 but is most famous for its use as Judge Jeffreys' courtroom in the wake of the rebellion.

The judge was sent west by the Catholic King James II to brutalise the local population for supporting the Protestant Duke of Monmouth, (another James) in his failed rebellion.

Jeffreys hanged 180 rebels from a beam beneath the Skirrid's staircase.

The beam stands today and bears chaffing marks from the hangman's rope.

Macabre tales are appreciated the world over and Daryl is setting up a website to cater for international interest in The Skirrid.

And in January the production company behind the TV series Most Haunted set up night-time cameras and microphones in the hope of one of the spirits making a personal appearance.

Daryl was assistant manager at The Langdale Leisure resort in the Lake District and Maria worked for South Lakes authority as Kendal's town centre manager. "We were looking for a new challenge," said Daryl, "and they don't come with more history or more atmosphere than The Skirrid."

The inn has an ancient wood-panelled restaurant, real fires, two bars, an old ship's bell for calling last orders, and three visitors' bedrooms.

The couple now plan to boost the food side of the pub.

"We're going to focus on building up the menu by offering traditional recipes using good local meats and fish," said Daryl, "and improve the vegetarian options also".

The couple moved from the Lake District to take over in December 2002.

They were immediately tested by the arrival of ten grouse shooters looking for a hearty breakfast.

"We knew they weren't ghosts by their appetites," said Maria.

VISITORS to the Skirrid Mountain Inn at Abergavenny will be forgiven for hearing things that go bump in the night.

The inn, the oldest in Wales, is well known for its haunting happenings - but the truth behind some of the famous fables could soon be revealed.

UK Living TV was has been filming and investigating at the inn to reveal what is really going on behind the closed doors of the inn.

Landlady Maria Appleton said: "I want to know what really has happened within these rooms and why the ghosts haunt them."

No-one can be possibly sure who actually haunts the bedrooms and stairways of the Inn but many people believed that hanging Judge Jeffreys, could not rest or that some of the 180 people he sent to the gallows have come back for revenge.

With the lights and cameras in place ready to capture the first movement or change in temperature the Most Haunted team were ready to discover the truth.

Phil Whyman, a paranormal investigator with the Most Haunted team, carried out experiments at the Inn in an attempt to scientifically prove that there was something else there.

He said: "We carry out a trigger test to see if objects are moved, test the temperatures of rooms and specific spots in the room and we use an EMF meter which gives an indication of the presence of a ghost."

Maria said that she hoped after the programme they could research the real history and inform their visitors of what really happened.

She said: "So many of the visitors at the inn are interested
in the ghosts but some have never heard of them and are intrigued when they hear noises in the night." She added: "For the first few nights we stayed here I had to sleep with the light on because I didn't know what to expect but the spirits here seem to be quite friendly and welcoming."



The programme about the Skirrid Inn was screened at Easter 2002 and many thousands of viewers who watched the programme have been to visit the historic Inn since, fascinated by what they saw on the programme. The Inn is reputed to be haunted by the friendly ghost of Fanny Price who was a Landlady here during the 1600's and whose grave, and that of the family, can clearly be seen at the graveyard next door to the Inn

we should do a couple of hours in the grave yard

The Skirrid Inn is approximately nine centuries old and is known to be the oldest working Inn within the Principality of Wales. The Inn has a very large colorful history, and has been involved in a number of big events throughout the decades. It has been used as a holding cell for many a prisoner before their execution, of which most where ordered by the ruthless 'Bloody John Jefferies', with the hanging taking place on the staircase itself. It is also believed in legend that the mountains that surround the Inn broke in two at the time of the crucifixion of Christ during a violent storm. In the forecourt of the Inn Owen Glendower rallied his troops before marching on to Pontrilas.

There is so much history and all of it has been captured on the Skirrid Inn's own web site, so take a look using the link provided above.
Paranormal Activity Eyewitness Reports

With a lively past, it is not too suprising that there have been many sightings of orbs, and a large amount of paranormal activity coming from within the structure. Many people have reported seeing a face staring in at them through one of the windows, but have never been able to find out who it was. When the previous owners tried to sell the Inn, many glasses were thrown around the bar area. There have also been reports of the ghostly like figure of Fanny Price who was a previous owner of the Inn, and who is buried along with her brothers in the church yard next door!!!!!

Lock Off" night camera (this is a camera that continuously films without assistance) in Bedroom 1 and another in Bedroom 3. They used the "Wireless Night Vision" camera on the 1st floor landing and placed the monitor in Bedroom 2 as they were using this as their base for the night. A trigger object was placed on a table in this room.

With all the equipment setup, and the Inn now completely empty, the team retreated to the bedroom, switched off all the lights and allowed the building to settle down. Once they had waited for a short while they decided to perform a seance, and started asking out for any energies to come forward and communicate. Within a very short period of time, the team felt the room go very cold and noticed that the temperature had dropped to 11.7 degrees, but the was no other attempt of communication or any other paranormal activity.

Once the Seance was finished, the team checked the motion sensor monitor, and noticed that it had been recording movement from the landing. The team watched the recordings and found that whilst they had been in the bedroom, 2 orbs had come out of Bedroom 3, and also 2 bright lights had been captured going passed Bedroom 2. Excited by this footage, the team moved into Bedroom 3, and instantly noticed that the temperature was very cold. Sandra asked for anyone to come forward and communicate, which was instantly followed by several light anomalies being caught on camera. Marlene had the thought of the names William and Mary, but was not sure where this had come from or whether it was linked to the Skirrid in any way.

The team stayed for another 45 minutes, but found nothing else occurred so they checked the monitor again and were pleased to find that it had captured another orb going across the landing followed by some tiny bright lights. They then made their way down to the bar.

After the team had gathered in the Bar area, they all sat around a table next to the fireplace and performed their second seance of the night. Marlene and Pete had a sensation of a very cold breeze flowing over their hands, and Sandra said that she had felt that someone had just blown into her face. Marlene also had the sensation of someone tickling her right ear a few seconds later. Sue then felt the presence of a little boy that was hiding in the room, his name was Thomas and he was too scared of something in the room to come out.

The team then sat in different locations around the bar, and whilst Marlene was using the video camera, she caught what appeared to be a shadow on the outside door, that could not have been created by any of the others. A couple of the team also believed that they could hear the sound of foot steps coming from above them, and this would make it again in Bedroom 3, but the team were already aware that there was no one in that location!!

With all the activity that had gone on, the team were really excited with the investigation, but had to call it a night at around 4.15.

Conclusion

The team thought that the investigation was a really great success and had so many different stories from the experience.

The structure seemed to be a real hive of paranormal activity, from the light anomies to the sounds of foot steps, not forgetting the cold spots or even the sensation of being touched, but the team failed to get any readings on their EVPS.

In the morning, whilst having a conversation with Geoff and Sharon about their experiences, the team were told that this was not the first time they had heard of people being touched on the ear, or of a young boy, in fact someone had said they had seen him going up the chimney.

Marlene also believed that she was awoken at around 6ish with the feeling of something being in the room with her, and Sharon has said that whilst being in the same, she too had felt that she was being watched!!!

The team thoroughly enjoyed their time at the Skirrid Mountain Inn and strongly recommend anyone who is a little sceptical to pay a visit, besides the breakfast in the morning is well worth the journey alone!!!!

Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
The Skirrid Inn is near Abergavenny and is believed to be the most haunted and most oldest public house in the UK. The inn got it's name from the 'skirrid mountain',the inn stands in the shadow of the mountain which is sometimes called the Holy mountain, it is said that the mountain broke in two at the time of the crucifixion of Christ during a violent storm.

The Skirrid Inn is very old and the building was first mentioned on record in 1110. It is no surprise to learn that the pub is so haunted, the Skirrid has a long history of violence and death.

The Skirrid Inn was where Judge Jeffries started his career of executions. Inside the pub is a beam that still has the rope marks , these rope marks are from all the hangings that were carried out in the inn. Also at the inn is the old courtroom which is on the first floor. The cell is also still there, the men that were due to be
executed would of slept and spent their last evening in this cell before facing death the following morning. The inn was also the place where the Welsh and the English would go to to use the ancient mounting stone, this stone is still in the pub's forecourt today.

Many ghost stories circulate the inn, many of the inn visitor's have felt the feeling of a noose around their neck and have later left the pub with red rope marks that have suddenly appeared on their neck. Other people have seen glasses flying across the room and the sound of cackling is heard on a frequent basis coming from upstairs. Various items will disappear and then will reappear.
