Torbryan Hauntings


Publican of the Church House Inn at Torbryan on the edge of Dartmoor explains the history of the establishment and the frequent hauntings to news reporter Rene Wyndham. The original settlement at Torbyran was Saxon and the pub dates back to the thirteenth century with a fireplace built from the scrap of a ship of the Spanish Armada. It is unclear how much punters have been drinking when they report sightings of a monk, an elderly man or they hear footsteps and see lights flicker.
