The Spaniards Inn - Haunted History

London, London

The Spaniard's Inn is a historic pub on Spaniards Road between Hampstead and Highgate. It's said that notorious highwayman Dick Turpin's father was once the landlord of the inn and Dick used it as a hideout. His ghost is said to be one of the spirits that haunts the building. Another of the pub's spirits, the ghost of a cruel moneylender named "Black Dick", has been blamed for tugging patrons' sleeves as they drink at the bar. The pub's car park is also said to be haunted by a horse, believed to be Turpin's trusty steed, Black Bess.
