Haunted Jamaica Inn, Cornwall. Proof of the paranormal, ghosts & hauntings. Full Episode

The Jamaica Inn has become known as one of the most haunted locations in the country, and, with a background surrounded in mystery, smugglers and highwaymen is there any surprise?

The Jamaica Inn is a traditional inn on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall in the UK, which was built as a coaching inn in 1750, and has a historical association with smuggling. Located just off the A30, near the middle of the moor close to the hamlet of Bolventor, it was originally used as a staging post for changing horses. The 1,122 feet (342 m) high "Tuber" or "Two Barrows" hill, is close by.

The inn was the setting for Daphne du Maurier's 1936 novel Jamaica Inn, about the nocturnal activities of a smuggling ring, "portraying a hidden world as a place of tense excitement and claustrophobia of real peril and thrill." In the novel, it was transformed into a rendezvous and warehouse for smuggling that was solely the home of the landlord and his wife. The novel has been adapted into various media, most famously an eponymous 1939 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. However, the inn itself has never actually been used as a filming location.

Though an inn has stood on the main road (modern A30, before the bypass was built) through the hamlet since 1547, the current building dates from 1750. It was extended in 1778 with a coach house, stables and a tack room assembled in an L-shaped fashion. It is often commonly thought that the inn takes its name from the smugglers who smuggled rum into the country from Jamaica and stored it at the inn. However, the name of the inn is actually said to derive from the important local Trelawney family of landowners, of which two family members served as Governors of Jamaica in the 18th century.

The inn became a smugglers' stopping point while they used approximately 100 secret routes to move around their contraband. Originally, the halfway house was alone on this part of the moor but later a church, parsonage, and school were added by the proprietor of the land, Mr. Kodd, to satisfy the area's residents.
