The Old Hall Hotel is located in the parish of Sandbach, which is within the district of Cheshire, England.

This location still has original Jacobean features and much of it's original structure is preserved today. There is a hidden door by one of the fireplaces which leads to a room once used as a hiding place for priests, known as a priest hole. The Old Hall is said to have become a coaching inn and later a hotel. The building did close during 2005, but was then saved by local people. Following renovation, the building reopened as the Old Hall Hotel seen today. There are many spirits said to haunt this location.

Aside this spirit, it's said there are numerous children, an old woman in a rocking chair, and possibly the owner from the 1600s present. It...
