The United Kingdom's Haunted "Ostrich" Inn

There are a lot of haunted places in the United Kingdom. I also had the pleasure of visiting England and you can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.   GetReadingUK on-line spotlighted a couple of haunted places I didn't get to, though, and here's one of them:

The Ostrich

The Ostrich Inn

The inn on High Street in Slough was only recently renovated, but the ghoulish history lives on.

The 12th-century inn is regularly attended by drinkers and diners, but they’re not the only ones.

More than 60 people have been reportedly killed in the inn, many of whom were slaughtered in their sleep by former inn keeper Jarman and his wife in the 17th century.

It is said that the murderous couple put trap doors in the floor boards and tipped rich guests into a vat of boiling liquid while they slept.

Jarman and his wife would then steal their money and sell their horses.

The murderous couple were eventually hung for robbery and murder, but that hasn’t stopped them visiting. Employees and visitors have reported sudden temperature drops, strange noises, voices and even sightings of ghostly figures.

Guests have reported numerous sightings of ghostly fingers on the top floor of the inn.
