The White Bear’s Haunted History

The White Bear in the small hamlet of Fickleshole has its fair share of paranormal activity. The 16th century inn and Grade Il listed building supposedly has up to three ghosts, all with different stories. A team of ghosthunters investigated the premises and found the spirits of a young girl and a man called Tom, complaining about a stomach problem of which he died. The third ghost apparently met his grizzly death on the establishment’s ground when he was caught in a man trap – it is not known if he was attempting to burgle the inn or whether he was caught purely from bad luck. There is also reports of a solid black shape that appears sporadically, moving slowly only to disappear abruptly shortly afterwards.
