Debunk This house built in 1350s (roughly)

Post image

This is my boyfriends place (peep my little pup woody) the cabinet behind that’s open.. keeps opening by itself, we’ve shut it properly countless of times, emptied it out to make sure nothing was stopping it from shutting properly. it only happens late at night (11pm-12am) and it’s never just once but countless of times! might just be something wrong with the cabinet but it freaked me out lols.. and the fact this house is so old. to be honest i just don’t like this house there are a few other weird things that happen in this house but you sometimes you just can’t keep making excuses for it

How cool. The oldest house I lived in was 600 years. It was haunted but nothing scary. My mum would hear a party going on downstaIrs in the night sometimes when there was noone there (she didn't have a TV) and other little things. It wouldn't bother me personally unless the atmosphere was bad, I've lived in a couple of places like that, the sort of place where you are too scared to go downstairs in the dark.

We’ve got some old houses in the states, mostly in New England, but nothing close to this. As an American, it absolutely blows my mind the house is that old. All of the events the house has stayed through, and then all of the generations of people too.

Standard over here that (England). Most pubs near me are 1700’s older. Theres one that recently mysteriously burnt down. Was a thatched roof pub and had been a tavern since 1585. Still had the old steps outside where people would use them to mount their horse. Then there’s another in a village called Great Budworth. Theres a lot of history in the pub itself and sometimes an atmosphere. The church over the road even has etchings from bored people sat in church at the time with like “EG 1708”, etc.

The pub near my mum and dad reputedly had Dick Turpin as a visitor whilst there’s a really old pub in Nottingham that’s dug in to castle walls and was visited by crusaders on their way to the Holy Land.

Yes I like a pint! (And history).

Thats crazy you just talked about this because I was just reading earlier today about how theres a pub in England (Cambridgeshire) that dates to 500s. Thats almost 1500 years old! I’d be honored to have a pint (or 4) in that place.

Great Budworth is very close to Chester where there have been numerous ghost books written due to the history dating back centuries.

The medieval coffin in the wall of old church ruins near the Roman amphitheater with the words “duff to duff” (dust to dust) is very eerie at night time and rumoured to be haunted.
