I'm no stranger to travel, and over time I've visited some of the most haunted places in the UK for inspiration. On a trip to Devon some years ago, I found myself stranded in a small town during a hideous thunderstorm and torrential rain, which flooded most of the exit roads. Luckily I found a room in an old hotel, probably built in the 1500s and was forced to spend the night in a creepy old room that was rumoured to be haunted. As I huddled under the covers, listening to the howling wind and creaking floorboards, I did wonder what awaited me later in the night! However, I was disappointed (I think) not to see any ghosts!

Creepy fun fact: The Stanley Hotel in Colorado, which inspired Stephen King's The Shining, is said to be haunted by the ghosts of its former guests.
