Browne Bushell, a former owner of the hotel, was executed with charges relating to piracy. He returned to the hall after his death and has been seen there many times since then, walking up and down staircases at the hall. Guests have also heard the clatter of footsteps up and down the staircases, even though no-one was there to be responsible for the sounds.
There have also been other strange phenomenon associated with the Hall over the years, including poltergeist activity, a strange shape gliding up and down the stairs, lights being switched on in an empty room, cleaners hearing voices whispering and the sounds of a small child crying in an empty room.
