A ghost hunter visiting the UK's most haunted places was forced to leave one location early after a terrifying incident which left him feeling like he was "being strangled", he has claimed.
Tony Ferguson, 37, is a part-time paranormal investigator and aims to debunk rumours across many supposedly haunted places in the country.
But he said he is now convinced the Ancient Ram Inn in Gloucestershire was one of the most haunted in the UK.
Tony and his team from Ghost2Ghost were forced to leave the site early because of the strange happenings they just could not explain, the Daily Star reports.
He claimed: "I was very sceptical, but there were so many things I couldn't explain.
"I am not normally on edge during investigations but this place felt very eerie and sinister. I kept seeing this thing floating above us, it seemed to be following us around.
"At one point we heard someone say the word 'Jinn' which is Arabic for 'spirit' or 'demon'. I saw mist coming towards me, felt a hand on my neck, and heard all kinds of noises I couldn't explain.
"We left two hours early because of how uncomfortable everyone felt - it's one of the most haunted places in the UK by far."
Tony's experience terrified him and his crew as he said there were "so many banging sounds" and they "even heard a dragging sound above us", despite there being nobody upstairs.
In another chilling moment, Tony said at one point he felt something around his neck as he felt like he was "being strangled".
He added: "Then in the living room area, our portal, a device used to connect with the afterlife, said the word 'Jinn' which is Arabic for 'spirit' or 'demon' while the orb floated above our heads.
"At one point the room grew very dark and we heard a very clear "f*** you" in a disembodied man's voice - but we were the only men in the house. The worst was when I felt something around my neck, nobody was there but I felt like I was being strangled.
"I am not normally on edge during investigations but this place felt very eerie. I was so shocked by it, I would say it's one of the most haunted places in the UK, by far."
The Ancient Ram Inn is rumoured to be on a pagan burial ground and is now a tourist attraction due to its reputation as a paranormal location.
Other rumours even suggest the pub was a place where people would practice witchcraft and devil worship, as well as a number of reported murders and deaths.
John Humphries lived at the inn until his death in 2017 and he said he was "pinned against the wall" by another force.
He said: "As I pointed to a haunted corner, a big flash came across and hit me with a terrific force.
"It threw me from one end of the room to the other, and I was pinned up against the wall, helpless."
