Norfolk

The seventeenth-century Old Hall Inn stands a short way away from the shore at Sea Palling, Norfolk. It was for merly a farmhouse; today it is a traditional public house with two bars, an a Ia carte restaurant, a lounge, family dining area, beer garden and several guest bedrooms.

On several occasions the figure of a woman in grey clothing has been seen sitting on a window ledge in the television lounge and a drop in temperature has been recorded. From time to time an inexplicable bluish shadow has also appeared and there has been the smell of strong tobacco. A manager’s wife once saw a ‘column of grey smoke’ move across the dining room towards the kitchen. This was observed on two later occasions by other witnesses.

Another of the live-in managers was often aware of a ‘presence’ in her flat. It seemed friendly and to delight in playing tricks — she would return to her ‘empty’ flat to find ornaments had been turned round and her teddy bear turned over on the bed.

In May 1975 and October 1976 a team of researchers from the Borderline Science Investigation Group investigated the inn and concluded that genuine paranormal phenomena had ‘probably’ occurred
