Bristol’s Most Haunted Houses

With Hallowe’en in the air, pumpkins glowing and ghosts and ghouls wandering the streets with sweets in hand, we were wondering how many people had experienced a haunted house in Bristol.

Do you have ghostly goings-on in your Bristol home?

We’ve overseen a fair few house purchases over the years, but one thing that doesn’t come up on searches is whether the property comes with a resident ghost!

So we’ve decided to carry out our own survey to find out exactly how many ghouls have taken up residence in Bristol.

The team at Fox Davidson can’t resist a spooky tale, so we’d love to hear your stories of things that have gone bump in the night.

You can send your ghastly tales to our resident ghost buster Sarah Fox-Clinch, get in touch on Twitter or send us a message via our Facebook page.

We’ll put together a list of our favourites and share them on All Hallows Eve!
