Haunted Pubs in Devon

Haunted Pubs in Devon gathers reported ghost stories connected with public houses across the county. Drawing on material collected during the authors’ field expeditions, Sally and Chips Barber present pub-based accounts within the wider setting of Devon’s local folklore and ghost traditions.

The book forms part of the Barbers’ broader work on Devonese supernatural lore, alongside studies of Exeter and other regional hauntings. Its approach is anecdotal rather than investigative, preserving the essential details of experiences and stories associated with particular licensed premises without settling their truth. The result is a concise record of how reports of apparitions and other uncanny incidents have become attached to Devon’s drinking houses.
