Georgian House Hotel. Derby. One of the contenders for the title of most haunted city in Britain, Derby also boasts a famously haunted hotel – The Georgian House. Visitors may well encounter a rather well-dressed male spirit with a predilection towards slamming doors and moving items. TripAdvisor

The Castle Hotel. Castleton. If reports are to be believed then this 17th century inn is bursting at the seams with ghosts. A ‘jilted bride’ and ‘grey lady’ are but two of the spectres a visitor might encounter. TripAdvisor

Leicestershire & Rutland

The Royal Hotel. Ashby-de-la-Zouch. An early 19th century building, there have been reports of occasional apparitions and spooky goings-on at The Royal. Booking.com | LateRooms

The Three Swans. Market Harborough. Some say that the ghostly presence at this 16th century town coaching inn is a former landlord, John Fothergill. His portrait hangs in the bar. Booking.com | Expedia

Lincolnshire

The Angel and Royal. Grantham. Anyone staying here will be within the walls of one of England’s most historic buildings. Of that there is little doubt. It should therefore come as no surprise to learn that somewhere so very ancient should reputedly possess a ghost or two. These include a slender “white lady”, a spook called “Jasper” and some mysterious lights. Booking.com | TripAdvisor

The White Hart. Lincoln. Occasional meetings with apparitions have been reported here over the years. Whether true or not, it remains a fine old period residence. LateRooms | Lastminute.com

Northamptonshire

The Falcon. Castle Ashby. Whether or not this pretty little hotel and restaurant is really haunted by a blacksmith (it was once a forge) is open to debate. But objects have been mysteriously moved around. Or so they say. Booking.com

The Hind. Wellingborough. 17th century in origin, The Hind has previously been investigated by experts in the paranormal. TripAdvisor

The Talbot Hotel. Oundle. There’s no doubt that this attractive old building is the site of one of Britain’s most famous hauntings (and certainly that of a hotel at the very least). One of the Talbot Hotel’s claims-to-fame is that it is partly constructed of the remains of Fotheringhay Castle. Indeed, its impressive oak staircase is that which Mary Queen of Scots is said to have walked down en route to her execution in 1587. And guess whose ghost is said to reside here… Booking.com | LateRooms

Nottinghamshire

Bestwood Lodge. Nottingham. It might only be Victorian (and thus a relative youngster in Nights In The Past terms) but Bestwood Lodge makes up for its comparative lack of age with a reputation for paranormal activity over the years. Booking.com | LateRooms | Lastminute.com

Saracen’s Head. Southwell. It might not be the most renowned haunted inn in the country, but given that Charles I spent his final night of freedom here, could it be that he is one of those responsible for alleged spooky goings-on? Booking.com | Lastminute.com
