Jamaica Inn

Ghosts

Jamaica Inn is now available to be hired for paranormal investigations; either as a member of the public, as part of a team, corporate team building, or filming for YouTube channels and paranormal related documentaries. For more information, please click the paranormal tab above, or email ghosthunts@jamaicainn.co.uk.

For many years, staff and guests alike, have reported strange things happening at the Jamaica Inn.  These occurances happen during daylight hours as well as late into the night.

In 2004 ‘Most Haunted’ aired their Jamaica Inn episode. They are quoted to have said that it was one of their 'spookiest episodes they had ever recorded!' 

Previous managers of Jamaica Inn have heard conversations uttered in a foreign tongue. Some have suggested this ‘foreign’ language could in fact be old Cornish.

Disembodied sounds

On a moonlit night, when all is still, the sound of horses' hooves and the metal rims of wheels turning on rough gravel can be heard in the courtyard, (the cobbles in the front courtyard, were laid in the 1950s). Yet there is nothing to be seen!

The sounds of barrels being rolled outside have also been heard, along with the echo of a lone horseman riding at speed, before coming to a halt at the front of the Inn.

Who can explain the disembodied footsteps heard pacing the hallway outside rooms 3 to 6 in the dead of night? But when the door is opened, there is no one there and the motion activated lights all of a sudden turn on.

Who is the gentleman wearing a tricorne hat and cloak, who appears in front of guests before walking through solid doors?
