LOCATION
Why is Eastgate Hotel said to be haunted?
The Eastgate Hotel stands on Oxford's High Street at the site of the old city wall's east gate, and its ghost story reaches back to the English Civil War. Guests and staff have reported the sound of men in armour and glimpses of Royalist soldiers apparently walking straight through the hotel's walls, sightings researchers have linked to the gate's role in the city's wartime defences and a rumoured surprise assault by Parliamentarian troops. Local ghost historians treat the hotel as one of a handful of Oxford sites where Civil War-era hauntings persist in a building that has otherwise been reshaped many times, growing from a 17th-century coaching inn into its current form after an 1899-1900 rebuild by architect Edward Prioleau Warren. The reports remain modest compared to Oxford's more famous college hauntings, but the Eastgate is a regular stop on the city's ghost tours thanks to its wartime connection.
