Haunted Tearoom Turns Into Museum
Description
An ancient tearoom in Leicestershire, housed in a 15th-century building that survived a 1613 fire and once hosted a pub for 200 years, is on the brink of closure—until owner Jolli Waterland pitches a wild, ghostly twist: turning the unused upper floor into a museum. With tales of phantom smoke, a cheeky spirit downstairs, and a secret 1930s kitchen upstairs, she’s betting history and hauntings can lure visitors. Local officials back the plan to revitalize Melton, hoping the blend of tea, tales, and maybe some spectral surprises will draw crowds and boost the town’s economy. Funding’s tricky—she’ll need to match cash—but heritage folks are onboard, giving this haunted haven a shot at a second life.
