Couple buy Britain's top haunted hotel that guests need to sign disclaimer to stay in

A Welsh couple have bought one of the most ghoulish hotels in the UK - and it's so spooky, potential guests have to sign a disclaimer to stay the night.

The Hanbury Arms in Pontypool is considered to be one of the most haunted pub and hotels in the UK and in order to stay a night in the spooky property you have to sign a disclaimer to confirm you're aware of the terror you've signed up for. Previous reports of regular occurrences from guests have included sounds of whispers, singing, whistling, footsteps, glass smashing, taps coming on and off and terrifying taps on the shoulders, Wales Online reports.

The haunted building which was at one time previously a morgue is home to multiple alleged spirits, including children, a hangman and a ominous dark shadow that hides in a corner. Bold visitors that have stayed the night have also told how their feet were tickled when visibly out of the covers, the orbs of light that travel down the corridors and an old toy rocking horse named Chestnut creaks back and forward of it's own accord.
