The Ancient Ram Inn: England's Most Haunted Pub | British Pub Lore

Описание: Built on a pagan burial ground. A stream diverted under the floor. And a landlord who slept with a Bible on his chest for fifty years.

The Ancient Ram Inn in Wotton-under-Edge is not a place of hospitality. It is a "Shadow Inn," where the guests are prey and the landlord is a guardian under siege. For decades, John Humphries lived alone in this decaying timber-framed house, fighting a daily war against entities he called "Incubus" and "Succubus."

In this episode of British Pub Lore, we investigate the dark history of England's most notorious pub. We examine the evidence found beneath the "Men's Kitchen" floor, broken ritual daggers and small bones. We look at the mummified cat hidden in the chimney, the "Witch's Room" where the heat never fades, and the terrifying theory of the "Diverted Stream" that turned the house into a supernatural battery.

In this episode:
🏠 The Shadow Inn: Why this pub feels "heavy" and "oppressive" the moment you enter.
🗡️ The Evidence: The broken daggers and bones found under the dirt floor.
🐈 The Cat: The mummified animal in the wall. Protection or curse?
💧 The Portal: How a diverted stream created a doorway for the "Incubus."
🛡️ The Guardian: The life of John Humphries, the man who refused to leave.
