The Ancient Ram Inn is a Grade II listed Cotswold stone and timber framed building in Gloucestershire. It started its life in 1145 under the ownership of the local parish and was used as a priest's house and a meeting place which was at the heart of the community.
Later in its life it moved in to private hands and became a popular inn that played host to many drinkers, both local and those travelling through - including highwaymen. It was one of the oldest pub's in the UK when the last pint was pulled there in 1965.
As well as its rich history, the building is also said to be very haunted, with reports of the spirits of murder and even a demonic entity that disturbs its victims while they sleep in order to seduce and have their wicked way with them.
