Alone at the Inn

Alone at the Inn recounts Steve Higgins’s solo, overnight investigation of the Ancient Ram Inn in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, a building associated with longstanding reports of paranormal activity. The account follows the night’s vigils, observations and experiments, including unconventional attempts to test what might happen when investigating without a team or visiting ghost-hunters nearby.

Linked to Higgins’s film My Ghost Hunting Movie, the book also describes the practical difficulties of filming alone and considers the strengths and limitations of familiar ghost-hunting equipment. Behind-the-scenes material is combined with reflections on reported incidents, the inn’s reputation and the wider question of how paranormal claims should be investigated. Extended interview transcripts add further perspectives on the location and paranormal belief.
