The Ram Inn and owner Caroline Humphries.

The Ram Inn is said to have 20 ghosts.

This bed-and-breakfast cottage was built in 1145, on a site where child sacrifice and devil worship are reported to have taken place.

A woman who stayed in the cottage in the 1500s was labelled a witch and burned at the stake.

You can find this cottage in the village of Wotton-under-Edge in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire in the UK.

The ghosts include a murdered young girl called Rosie, a high priestess, and a male 'sex demon', known as an incubus.

The owner of the inn is Caroline Humphries who  has lived in the Ram Inn for nearly 50 years.

She says she used to hear the ghosts of murdered children crying in one of the bedrooms. Since putting toys in the bedroom, they seem to have calmed down.

She says: 'When I was a child, I was so scared of the house I used to sleep in a caravan outside.

'It was normal for us to see people running out of the house, screaming in terror.'
