Hotels in Taunton and strange goings on
Staying in hotels in Taunton will put you in close proximity to Taunton Castle which is an impressive and beautiful castle dating back to the Anglo Saxon period. It has been rebuilt a number of times and is reputed to be haunted by a number of spirits. The castle has a bloody past and it was the scene of the cold blooded execution of over 100 men who were put to death for their political beliefs in the 17th century. The well known figure of Judge Jeffries, otherwise known as “The Hanging Judge” has been reportedly seen wandering the castles corridors. A reputedly cold blooded man, it is said that an atmosphere of desolation accompanies the ghost. Marching feet have also been heard around the grounds of the castle and it is thought that this phenomenon is down to the ghosts of soldiers bringing in the condemned men. A grey lady has also been reported along with a headless man and a wandering woman. As if these spectres are not enough, the castle is also reputed to have its own poltergeist which throws objects around the castle.
