If you're seeking authentic paranormal activity in North Devon, the Crown Duels Pub, formerly The Second Stage in Ilfracombe, has earned a reputation as one of the region's most actively haunted venues.
Located on Wilder Road near the Ilfracombe seafront, this free house occupies the former Victorian-era Alexandra Hotel and holds over a century of dark, unsolved secrets.
Today, it is a premier destination for Devon ghost-hunting events, drawing both curious locals and dedicated investigators eager to document its unexplained phenomena.
Patrons frequently report hearing the phantom rattling of teacups in the corner of the pub where the old hotel's tea room once operated. Above the main bar, dark shadow figures are routinely spotted pacing the upper corridors, which researchers believe are the spirits of Victorian staff still tirelessly performing their daily duties.
Most notoriously, a highly territorial female ghost is known to inhabit the restrooms, occasionally pushing female patrons and openly showing dislike for ghost hunters encroaching on her space. Whether you are stopping by for a pint of Exmoor Stag real ale or booking a dedicated paranormal experience, the haunted Second Stage Pub offers a chilling supernatural encounter right in the heart of Ilfracombe.
