The Pagan Portal: England’s Ancient Ram Inn and America’s Oldest Haunting
What happens when a 12th-century inn built on pagan burial grounds meets centuries of ghost stories? You get the Ancient Ram Inn, one of England’s most notorious paranormal hotspots. And just when you thought it couldn’t get creepier, we’re also pulling back the curtain on America’s oldest inn The Groton Inn where Nancy herself once worked and collected spine-tingling firsthand encounters.
In this episode of Inherited Hauntings, Nancy and Lindsey explore New England for personal stories of shadowy figures, vanishing women in darkened rooms, and mysterious footsteps echoing in Groton’s narrow halls. Then, we travel across the ocean to Glocestershire England for dark folklore, pagan roots, and chilling legends of the Ancient Ram Inn, from child skeletons unearthed beneath the floorboards to ghostly apparitions that refuse to leave the halls.
Along the way, we’ll laugh, we’ll shiver, and we’ll ask the real questions:
Are these haunted inns just holding onto history… or something darker?
Do pagan rituals leave doorways open for spirits that never close?
And seriously, who in their right mind rents a room at a place nicknamed “The Pagan Portal”?
Equal parts spooky and hilarious, this episode has pagan lore, poltergeist mischief, haunted history, and a personal haunting twist you won’t hear anywhere else.
🎧 Buckle up, because whether it’s the Ancient Ram Inn in England or the Groton Inn in Massachusetts, these haunted stays prove one thing: some checkouts are final.
THE SCARIEST STORIES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE TRUE.
