The supposedly haunted 17th century Four Crosses inn in UK, Staffordshire is up for sale. The vacant freehold three floor property is built from brick and timber. The building has an incredible history dating back hundreds of years and is full of tales of ghosts.
Inside the ancient rooms of the spooky derelict pub, dating back to 1636, people have seen wandering spirits: a Roundhead soldier, a broken-hearted damsel called Emily, a spirit-like young girl dressed in tatty clothes, and a drunk ghost called Charlie who is believed to cause mischief at the inn. Other paranormal incidents recently reported include glasses flying off the shelves, a piano playing by itself, and spooky footsteps. Outside, a black-clad man been spotted looking forlornly at the pub.
The inn, classed as one of the most haunted places in Britain, is up for sale at £325,000 ($526.800). It boasts a bar and a restaurant, kitchen, stores and cellar. On the first and second floors are 10 bedrooms. Outside, beside the beer garden, the car park can hold 80 cars.

We have several supposed haunted pubs close to where I live in Elstree, Hertfordshire. The Holly Bush 5 minutes walk away and the old Artichoke Pub right next door. Both have been taken over by a Jewish synagog. No ghosts have been reported.
Leaving aside the question of whether spirits cling to buildings, I think the property will be too expensive to renovate. The structure will probably be pulled down to make way for housing. Space is at a premium here on England's overcrowded island and we don't want to encroach on our green belt.
But what would happen to any supposed ghosts without their habitat? Would they hang around the area, too confused to move on?
