A HOTEL in Wales is said to be so haunted that guests have to sign a disclaimer before they are allowed to stay.
The Hanbury Arms hotel in Pontypool is believed to have been a former coroner's court and morgue, as well as a place of execution.
It is now open as a hotel, so long as guests don't mind spending the night with a few wandering souls.
The hotel has spooked plenty of people in recent years, with staff and visitors both reporting ghostly phenomena.
Workmen have reportedly downed tools and refused to return to finish work on the site, after experiencing both "icy cold temperature drops" and "oppressive feelings".
Among the dead said to still be staying in the hotel are a little boy dressed in Victorian clothing, Emily, a troubled young girl, a dog spirit and a large man who likes to push visitors.

There is also a collection of coffins kept in the hotel's cellar.
Tunnels beneath the building used to connect it to a church and the cellar was apparently once used as a morgue.
The property is owned by Tracey and Nigel Turner, a couple of paranormal enthusiasts.
The pair bought the hotel before it was due to go to auction.

6Tracey told Wales Online that reports of spooky experiences continue to grow.
She said: "In the old nursery, guest's feet sticking out of the bed have been tickled by the child spirits and Chestnut the old rocking horse will rock, and be pulled out into the centre of the room.
"The portrait room is a very active room with spirits going back and forth to the landing.
"We've got two landings and one is where the hangman wanders around. The black widow room has the spirit of a Victorian lady, but it all comes and goes around the building."
A night at the Hanbury costs £69 per person, which includes accommodation in one of the five rooms, unlimited snacks and refreshments and a continental breakfast.
Guests also get entry to the haunted objects museum, the chance to take part in a paranormal investigation and a Victorian séance.
Each of the five rooms are themed, with guests able to choose between the Black Widow room, the Old Nursery, the Portrait Room, the Museum Room and the Old Cellar Morgue.
Anyone who chooses to stay in the cellar morgue and isn't spooked enough to leave during the night receives a certificate the morning after.
Everyone who stays at the hotel has to sign a disclaimer to clear the hosts and their spooky residents of any responsibility if they do get too scared.
