A night at The Ancient Ram Inn, Gloucestershire

In 2018 some of the team were invited as guests of 'Fright Nights' paranormal to break the county border and spend the night at The Ancient Ram Inn.

Thought to have been an inn as far back as 1145 this grade II listed dwelling is situated at Potters Pond within an area of Wotton Under Edge in Gloucestershire. Rightfully described as a National treasure from its appearance inside and out it has the look of an archetypal spooky crooked house with all of the appropriate fixtures and fittings. Over the years the unique look on The Ram has helped generate a folklore of its own.

A location worthy of a lot more than just the odd thrilling night out. We feel it deserves more focused and rational study into the paranormal claims that continue to surround and enhance its legend.

A dedicated period of research by The Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) or The Society for Psychical Research (SPR) may be worthwhile in the future.

Updated Research November 2023: In addition, a new article has recently been published by Triskele Heritage that suggests with good evidence that The Ram is more likely a 15th century dwelling with a possibly very different story. You can read more here.

This is a good example of why along with paranormal research it is always worthwhile conducting historical research as well. It's not only a valuable part of the process to get to understand a location, but also can help in drawing more accurate conclusions. Sometimes a few simple date references can change everything. Having said this these discoveries take nothing away from how fascinating this location is in terms of its history and as a potential location for paranormal research. If anything it adds another level to its ongoing mystery. The article just gives a more plausible and referenced understanding of The Ram's origins.
