Join Devon Ghost Tours for an unforgettable night of paranormal investigation at the historic George & Dragon—the oldest and most haunted pub in Ilfracombe.
The George & Dragon has been around since 1360, giving visitors a true sense of history. With its old wooden beams and roaring fireplaces, it feels like the past is still alive here. The pub is connected to 18th-century smugglers, secret coastal tunnels, and the English Civil War, making it a popular place for paranormal researchers.
With over 60 active spirits reported to frequent the building, the George & Dragon rarely offers a quiet night. During our lock-in investigation, you will have the chance to encounter:
The Civil War Soldiers: Apparitions and EVPs believed to belong to soldiers from the English Civil War are frequently captured near the cellar entrance.
The Old Lady in the Corner: A weathered older woman is often seen sitting quietly in the corner, while the spirit of a mother and child has been spotted standing near the historic fireplaces (look closely for the letters "R & B" carved into the wood).
The Phantom Hound: Many patrons and staff report the unmistakable sensation of a dog brushing past their legs while standing at the bar.
Poltergeist Activity: From glasses inexplicably flying off the bar and heavy stools moving on their own, to investigation equipment being mischievously turned on and off—the energy here is tangible.
The Shadow Figure: A distinct dark shadow is regularly witnessed walking from the main entrance toward the kitchen and ladies' facilities.
