Flickers of light dance within the fireplace of the Sparkford Inn's dining room, the warmth overshadowed by rumors of ghosts lingering in the shadows. A team of paranormal investigators arrive one misty March evening to search for a giggling boy whom many guests have reportedly seen darting around the bar, across the dining room, and playing in the pool room. Witnesses have described him as about seven years old, dressed in scorched rags, and bearing burn marks—features that suggest he is no ordinary child. He is, they claim, a ghost.
Caroline McKendrick, lead investigator at Somerset Paranormal Investigators UK (SPI UK), a group that has been probing paranormal phenomena since 2012, says that reports of the boy often coincide with unexplained events. "Several objects were mysteriously knocked off the kitchen counter, and the dishwasher switched on by itself, even when no one was nearby," McKendrick says. For years, staff and guests alike have reported strange occurrences: whispers in empty rooms, objects moving on their own, and other ghostly figures, including a domineering man and a woman who frequents Room No. 6.
These accounts, along with a local urban legend about the Inn's haunted past, convinced the six members of SPI UK to investigate. Tucked away in the small village of Somerset in southwest England, the Sparkford Inn dates back to the late Middle Ages. Over the centuries, it has served as a stopover for horse-drawn coaches, a popular lodging place for visitors, and a meeting point for local hunters. Today, it's a cozy hotel and pub. McKendrick and company arrived here with the goal of not only cataloging these apparitions, but proving they're full-bodied spirits, which are interactive entities that can produce physical effects and respond to human contact. |
