Judge Jeffreys

Location: Exeter - White Hart Inn
Type: Haunting Manifestation
Date / Time: Ghost unknown, basilisk 1640s
Further Comments: A popular haunting figure down in the southwest, the Judge's shade has been reported in this public house. A woman in a long black cape, said to resemble the lady from the 'Scottish Widows' advert, has been seen in the courtyard. Another legend states that a basilisk lurked in the well of the building (still present today), and the creature killed two workmen with its obnoxious breath.
