HAUNTING discoveries have been made by primary school pupils exploring a hotel.
As part of a school history project, Year Six pupils from St Mary's in Dunmow were taken on a tour of the Saracens Head Hotel after learning that a number of ghostly figures have been seen hanging around the 16th Century venue.
And a handful of the children who visited the cellar, rooms, bar and restaurant claimed to have seen some ghostly figures lurking.
Hotel manager, Paul Newson, said: "The building is supposed to have three ghosts among its residents, including a small boy who plays with a musical box, a woman in a large dress and also horses have been seen and heard where the old stables used to be."
