some info on next weeks show (hopefully its the right one) ;D if its not i'll let you know 
Sitting at the top of the pass is the junction of two roads, one leading to Ambleside, the other to Windermere. Here, the 17th century Travellers' Inn provided comfort and shelter. The building became derelict but was rebuilt in 1847 and renamed the Kirkstone Pass Inn. Subject to the vagaries of wind, snow, horizontal rain, and mountain mist, this long, low building with blackened beams and a stone floor provides a welcoming open fire in winter. Proclaimed to be the third highest pub in England, it is reportedly riddled with ghosts.
There are numerous ghost stories associated with the inn, and many visitors report strange presences. One ghost is of a woman who attempted to traverse the road in a snowstorm and died along the way. Supposedly her spirit lurks about the building. Another is that of a coachman dressed in 17th century clothing that mysteriously appeared in a photograph taken in front of the inn in 1993. The ghost, who was the great, great grandfather of the family photographed, followed them home and now lives with them.
There are tales of a frightening grey woman and the ghost of a lost hiker who worked at the inn and now plays poltergeist tricks there. Another ghost, that of a woman hanged for murdering her child, haunts a nearby tree, appropriately called the Hangman's Tree.
