Ghost Hunters Capture "Demonic Entity" On Thermal Camera At Ancient Ram Inn

A group of paranormal investigators on an overnight stake out at the infamous supernatural hotspot, the Ancient Ram Inn in Wotton-Under-Edge, got more than they bargained for and may have captured what they believe to be solid evidence of the paranormal – at what is considered by many to be the UK's most haunted building.

The team of researchers from Gloucester Ghost Walks and Triplemoon Paranormal are no strangers to spooky goings-on, as they regularly give public tours of haunted venues around Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds.

Using an array of methods and technical gadgets, including a Ouija board, spirit boxes and EMF meters, the ghost hunters recorded a range of anomalies, from doors opening and closing, to moving furniture, and from unexplained fluctuations in electromagnetic frequencies, to apparently audible spoken messages coming through the spirit box, but it was the thermal camera that yielded the most shocking paranormal evidence.

The device, which was on loan from a local big cat tracker, unexpectedly revealed what appears to be a heat signature in an empty chair.

Paranormal tour guide, Denise, witnessed the strange incident and saw "a mist form over the chair, like something was sitting in it," adding "it happened in the Bishop's Room."

Another of the investigator said, "thermal cameras see in infrared, meaning they record heat and display it in a way we can easily understand. It's what the police use to find suspects at night – the bodies of warm blooded animals like humans give off a lot of heat which we cannot see with our naked eyes, but we can with the thermal camera."

They continued, "so quite how there was a heat signature in an empty chair, which no one had been using beforehand, is beyond me. It's as if an invisible creature or demonic entity was sat in it."

The Bishop's Room where the image was captured is known for its association with demonic entities and is said to be the most haunted room in the historic former inn in Gloucestershire.

It is in this part of the building that people have reported being disturbed by a demonic entity while they sleep in order for it to have its wicked way with them. There's a bit of confusion if the demon at the Ram is an incubus or a succubus, or whether the demon switches depending on the gender of its victim. An incubus is a male demon that preys on women, while a succubus is its female counterpart.

The room is also said to be haunted by the ghost of a cavalier, who is usually spotted in the corner of the room before walking through the room. The vision of a young woman hanging from the ceiling has also been seen here, as well as a phantom dog that has been seen and heard growling.
