A WOMAN who lives in the UK's "most-haunted" house has found human bones, daggers and a mummified CAT hidden inside.

Caroline Humphries, 60, moved into 1,000-year-old pub the Ancient Ramm Inn in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, in 1968 - when she was just eight years old.

As her parents renovated the house's interiors over the decades, countless disturbing objects were uncovered.

Some of the stranger finds included piles of bones buried in the dirt - as well as a mummified cat in the wall.

Recently, Caroline’s partner Mick found more bones under the staircase of a room on the ground floor.

Caroline told Jam Press: "A diviner told my dad there were children buried all over the place and when he dug he found the bones and the daggers wrapped with them, which implied sacrificial killing.

“Sadly the daggers, which were in a glass display case, were stolen around 2014 when my father was in the house, showing a group of visitors around.

"They will be of great value.

"Dad took the bones he had found to a specialist who informed him that they were definitely not animal bones, so the mystery of whose remains they are and why they were buried with daggers needs to be investigated."

Another bizarre find was a 500-year-old mummified cat inside a wall, which Caroline thinks was put there to ward off witches.

She said: "My dad found a mummified cat in the walls a few years ago when he was renovating the house.

"Stroud Museum have confirmed it is 500 years old and was dead before being placed in the walls to keep any witches out of the home."

Ghost hunt groups and psychics regularly flock to the site - with legend saying it is situated on an ancient Pagan burial ground.

The inn itself was first built in 1145 - but the original building dates back further to 900AD.
