A ghostly sailor is reputed to sit on a wall outside the Inn. The sightings have always been in the same location. The second ghost is that of a man wearing a tricorn hat and a long coat. The apparition was seen by a pair of eye witnesses in 1970 whilst staying overnight in the inn. The figure walked towards them and through the bedroom wardrobe.

It is suspected of being the body of water into which Sir Bedivere threw Excalibur after King Arthur was mortally wounded. The pool is also said to be a haunt of the lady of the lake, guardian of Excalibur. The pool is said to be bottomless and to have a tunnel connecting it to the sea. Dozmary pool the name of which means drop of sea, dried up in the year 1869 quashing any notions of truth in the legend. Neolithic arrowheads were found in the dried pools bed. The site is also linked with local legends of Jan Tregeagle who was charged with emptying the pool with a broken limpet shell. Click for the full story of Jan Tregeagle.
