The White Hart Inn in Jordans, Buckinghamshire, dates back to the 16th century. Originally a coaching inn, it served travelers along the London to Oxford road. The building’s timber-framed structure and low ceilings are characteristic of its Tudor origins.

During the English Civil War, the inn provided refuge for Royalist soldiers. Local legend claims that some injured soldiers died within its walls, contributing to subsequent ghostly encounters.

The most prominent ghost story associated with The White Hart Inn involves a young woman in a white dress. Witnesses have reported seeing her apparition in various parts of the building, particularly on the stairs and in the bedrooms. Some accounts describe her as appearing distressed or searching for something.

Another frequently reported phenomenon is the sound of heavy footsteps in empty rooms and corridors. Staff and guests have heard these unexplained noises, often accompanied by sudden temperature drops.

In the 1970s, a guest reported waking to find a translucent figure of an old man standing at the foot of the bed. The apparition allegedly vanished when the guest called out.

The inn’s cellar has been a hotspot for paranormal activity, with staff reporting feelings of unease and being watched. Objects have reportedly moved on their own, and unexplained knocking sounds have been heard emanating from the cellar walls.

During renovations in the 1980s, workers uncovered a sealed room containing old artifacts and furniture. Some believe this discovery stirred up increased paranormal activity in the inn.

Several guests have reported their belongings being mysteriously moved or rearranged in their rooms overnight, with no explanation for the occurrences.
