One of Braintree’s oldest pubs has more than just spirits behind the bar.

Following a visit by a medium, it would seem the Horse and Groom in Rayne Road has a number of ghostly characters lurking in the corridors and cellars.

As Patricia Putt moved from room to room of the 1782 pub, she picked up on the spirits of soldiers, servants, children and even a brown dog.

Mrs Putt, who has made numerous TV appearances in her capacity as a medium, saw a woman from the Victorian era dressed in grey, wearing a bonnet.

The same figure has also been seen by startled customers as she drifts past the bar area.
