Nuneaton

The Griffin Inn at Gruff, Nuneaton, is a historic pub which was first given a victualling licence in 1654 in order to sup ply ale to the miners in the shallow bell pits and diggings of the surrounding area.

For years there have been mysterious knockings in the pub and compressed air cylinders and beer taps have been inexplicably turned off. Even the installation of a modern alarm system has made no difference. A col lection of old locks on a shelf in the lounge has been found scattered over the floor in the morning and once a one-armed bandit that was switched off at the mains suddenly gave out a jackpot of £70. It is believed that the ghost is that of a Victorian woman.

One of the landlords and his partner once wit nessed an old lady in black sitting on the end of their bed, and in 1995 the licensee was woken by his dog barking furiously and saw a tall woman wearing a veil over her face standing in his bedroom. As soon as he switched on the light, she disappeared.
