Bristol’s Top 5 Haunts: Where to Find Ghosts and a Good Scare...
Bristol is known for its rich history, but lurking behind its historic walls and beneath the cobbled streets are spine-tingling stories of restless spirits and supernatural happenings.
If you’re brave enough to explore, here are the top five haunted spots in Bristol where you might just encounter a ghost...or at the very least, get a good dose of chills!
Bristol Old Vic Theatre
Opened in 1766, the Bristol Old Vic is the oldest continuously working theatre in the English-speaking world, and with such a legacy comes plenty of ghostly tales.
The most famous ghost here is the "Grey Lady," believed to be the spirit of a former actress who never left the stage.
Some visitors have reported seeing her figure drifting through the balconies, still awaiting her final curtain call...
Redcliffe Caves
Beneath the streets of Redcliffe lies a labyrinth of caves, which have seen their fair share of dark history.
These winding tunnels have been used for smuggling, storage, and even as a holding place for prisoners. With such a grim past, it’s no wonder they’re steeped in ghost stories.
Whether it’s the sound of eerie footsteps echoing in the dark or the occasional glimpse of a shadow darting around a corner, the Redcliffe Caves are not for the faint-hearted.
Arnos Vale Cemetery
Set in 45 acres of Victorian graveyards and shaded woodland, Arnos Vale Cemetery is as beautiful as it is eerie.

This historic pub has been serving pints since the 1600s, and it seems that some of its patrons never left.
The Llandoger Trow is said to be haunted by not one, but five spirits, including that of a young boy dressed in old-fashioned clothes who roams the hallways.
If you’re planning to grab a drink here, be prepared for more than just great ale – you may encounter a friendly (or not-so-friendly) ghostly guest.
Stoke Park Estate
Stoke Park Estate’s “White Lady” is a figure shrouded in mystery.
Legend has it that a young woman from the 18th century still wanders these misty grounds. Those who’ve visited the estate at night report seeing a ghostly white figure drifting across the park, adding a haunting allure to this historic estate.
Some say she is bound to the grounds, forever searching for something – or someone...
