2. Cedar Court Hotel
The old building, which has stood on the same spot since 1672, has been changed countless times in the last 300 years. But one wing has stayed the same - and spooky corridor, as it is known, is said to be home to some ghoulish guests.
3. Hales Bar
Hales Bar is the oldest licensed premises in Harrogate. It is an old coaching inn and founded in the mid-17th century.
For the most part, it exhibits ghostly manifestations. these include poltergeists with strange sounds and manic laughter. Licensees have reported bottles and glasses falling off the shelves, spin and drop. However, never smash. Customers have witnessed shadows walking through the bar. When it was investigated by a paranormal team, the static camera caught a black shape floating down behind an internal door. The light on the camera adjusted itself to it.
4. Fountains Abbey
Fountains Abbey was built in 1132, the sound of monks chanting has been heard many times during the evening, especially in the area of the Chapel of the Nine Altars at the east end of the church.
