The Old Bell Hotel and Restaurant in Malmesbury Wilts sounds promising?
An outline of spooky incidences to date..........The Old Bell Hotel, next to Malmesbury Abbey, has plenty of stories about mysterious goings on, especially as its east wing is built directly on part of the former abbey churchyard.
There has been some form of inn there since 1220 as Malmesbury was one of the top seats of learning in the country. Owner Simon Hughes was told by the people he bought the hotel from that there are eight sarcophagi under the bar but he has never checked to see if this is really true!
The hotel's most famous ghost story concerns an apparition who has reputedly been seen in one of the guest bedrooms, all of which have names. The Grey Lady, as she is known, has been seen wafting through the James Ody room and is supposed to be the ghost of a woman who was unhappily married in the Abbey.
In another incident, one guest staying in the Danvers room told staff she had seen a glass mysteriously rise up and smash against the bedroom wall.
The most peculiar incident occurred in the Foe room at the front of the hotel. A guest was trying to get into their bedroom but could not enter as the door had been jammed. Staff had to get a ladder and break into the window of the room, where they found that a wardrobe had been moved across the door so people could not get in - but there was no-one in the room at the time.
Guests are not the only ones to report strange happenings. The night porters have told us that when they do their rounds every hour or so, when they walk down the corridor through the salon, it goes stone cold. The hotel has also hosted a visit from paranormal investigators whose machines and readings picked up strange movements around the hotel at night.
The fact that they have already hosted a paranormal investigation team would suggest that they might be receptive to hosting another?
maybe a little far from us in kent, i used to live in wiltshire i love it down there. it was 2 and a half hours on a good run with you with your foot down, its 180 miles to swindon, so not a lot diff i wouldnt expect.if we are there may as well go the whole hog and do the rams inn in gloucestershire (sp) , but u know me, if everyone is up for it, i would be too

Although we try to stick to both Essex and Kent, i`ve always said that since the team is actually called GHOST HUNT TEAM (ESSEX UK) or GHOST HUNT TEAM (KENT UK) there is room for other counties to be explored within the "UK" part of our name.
That way i would never rule out entirely any such location like the one Paula has mentioned. _________________ GHT MAIN SITE: http://www.wix.com/shamen27/GHOST-HUNT-TEAM

I have always been interested in doing an invo at the Rams Inn, even getting a chance to visit it would be interesting.
As long as your mate doesnt mind us doing his minibus up like the Scooby Doo van Pete.

....and entrance fee or cost for hiring the venue too, lets not forget that too.
The Ram`s Inn is technically in Gloucestershire, but for sake of argument, i will just say that Joan and myself seriously considered this as a GHT Invo.
Maybe someday....
Right now though, we have other targets a bit nearer home. I won`t rule out any site, but it does need to be cost-effective for all concerned.
