Yuletide visitors to The Travellers Rest at Brough, Derbyshire, might have the opportunity to see Christmas spirits in a whole new light, because the pub is reputably haunted by the ghost of a farm girl. The poor girl was the recipient of unwanted advances one Christmas Eve, and while trying to fend off a love-struck labourer she fell down the cellar stairs and was killed. Now – so local story has it – she is a regular patron of the establishment each anniversary of her death.
I have just taken a virtual tour of The Travellers Rest and I must say that, with or without ghosts, it certainly looks like a lovely place. If you fancy taking the tour yourself you can do so by clicking HERE
