Bristol, Bristol
The Hatchet Inn on Frogmore Street dates back to 1606 making it the oldest operating pub in the Bristol. Locals believe the watering hole is haunted, perhaps the main reason for this claim is the fact that the inn's door is made from human skin. The skin of an executed criminal is said to be stretched over the door and hidden under coats of paint. It's also said that pirates, including the infamous Blackbeard, drank there.
