1. Jamaica Inn – Cornwall, UK
Jamaica Inn is considered to be the spookiest inn in the UK. The most discussed paranormal experience is coming across the ghost of a man who left his half-finished drink at the bar before being found murdered the next day. People have spotted him sitting still and disappearing into thin air. Some people have also reported hearing footsteps and the sound of horse hooves when there is none around. Murmurs in a foreign dialect can be heard by guests often.
2. Landmark Tavern – New York, US
Landmark Tavern has the spirit of three people haunting the property. People have spotted the ghosts of an old-time actor George Raft (who was in the original Scarface film), a Confederate Civil War soldier and a little Irish girl.
George Raft would hang out at the bar during his time. After his death, people reported seeing his ghost roaming around the area. The Confederate soldier died of knife wounds in an iron bathtub (which still exists on the property) after he got into a bar fight, and is reported to knock over books from shelves. The little girl died of cholera or typhoid and her ghost is reported to wander around the property.
