Creepy video shows rocking chair moving by itself in haunted hotel with 13 ghosts

The owners of a haunted hotel have shared a creepy video showing a rocking chair that appears to move by itself. Ye Olde Kings Head on Lower Bridge Street is Chester's most haunted hotel - and this is just the latest spooky encounter to be reported.

Dating back to the Stuart period in 1622, the building has bundles of history and is said to have no less than 13 ghosts haunting the place. Among some of the ghosts are said to be the tormented souls of civil war soldiers, Roman soldiers, young children, and even women who worked there when it was a brothel in the 17th century.

Even the foundations of the original building have a story to tell having been constructed for Peter the clerk in 1208. The creepy going-ons have caused such a stir that the hotel has featured on the TV show Most Haunted and more recently on Sky Pick's Paranormal. It was also named spookiest hotel in the North West last year, Chesire Live reports.
