"I was in the ladies a couple of months ago, when I distinctly heard the door open then close again like someone had walked in. When I came out ofthe cubicle I was in, there was nobody but me in the toilets. I thought nothing of it and washed my hands - it was only when I looked up that I realised that the ladies door was open and was staying open."
(The ladies toilet door does not stay open on its own as has a spring hinge. Unless wedged open, it will close automatically)
Local in The Iron Duke
"I lived in room X upstairs for 18 months and I had a very strange thing happen to me and it happened about 3 or 4 times whilst I was there. I would wake up in the morning and feel like there was someone lying next to me. I could feel their arm over me and the depression in the bed by my side. It was alarming at first, but I wasn’t frightened. It actually felt quite calming, and then it would be gone... just like that. I was told once that a chambermaid was murdered in my room, so that could have been it."
Kevin, ex resident in The Iron Duke
"I am quite often kept awake by a shadow in the alcove of my bedroom and I have had some 'apparition' sit down on the end of my bed."
Ian, resident in The Iron Duke
"Once when I was coming back up the stairs from the cellar, I got that horrible feeling that someone was behind me, I had tingles running all down my back and I had to run away from the area as fast as I could. I always felt watched."
Former barmaid at The Iron Duke
"I have been drinking here on and off for about ten years and I have heard many stories on the place being haunted. The only thing that I found really strange was that when I used to bring my dog in here he would stare at the back wall all the time, like he was watching something. He would bark at the wall too.". (This lady pointed out the exact spot by the back wall that other people had noticed a cold spot)
