Here are the five of best-known places for paranormal activity. 

Oxford Castle - Dubbed the most-seen ghost in the UK 2009, Empress Matilda allegedly haunts the stairs of the castle in a white cape. Despite not dying in the grounds, many have claimed to see her in the white cape she wore to camouflage against the snow the night of her escape from the castle.

The Regal, Cowley -  According to Martin Tapsell’s book Haunted Cinemas and their Uninvited Guests Playingbingo.co.uk has a section on lost bingo halls. This includes the Regal. In the book, he writes: “A. Trafford had his first job there from 1994-97 and was happy there, but claimed it was incredibly haunted. Staff disliked being alone in some parts of the building, and especially the old projection booth, in which the machines had stood idle since 1970. The Gala Club was then a ‘genuinely terrifying place’ to be, but as an evangelical church today, is less likely to be so paranormal.”

Christ Church college - King Charles I has reportedly been spotted around the ground of this Oxford college both with a head, and without. A ‘shadow’ person, believed to be the former commander executed for ‘treason’ in 1649, has been spotted on the grounds of the college.

Minster Lovell Hall - Beside the River Windrush is the ruins of Minster Lovell Hall, a 15th century Oxfordshire Manor House. Legends include the haunting of Lord Lovell, who starved to death after his servant passed away. He’s been spotted walking through the ruins accompanied by the sound of rustling paper.

The Bell Hotel, Faringdon -  The hotel opened as a hospice in 1202 for pilgrims and monks. Monks have been spotted behind the bar of the hotel, as well as soldiers who were executed there later; some say their boots can be heard stomping in the courtyard.
