71 Great Pultney Street

71 Great Pulteney Street in Bath, England, is a Georgian townhouse built in the late 18th century as part of the grand residential development of Great Pulteney Street. The street itself was designed by architect Thomas Baldwin and named after William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath.

The house has a rich history, having been home to various notable residents over the centuries. One of its most famous occupants was the celebrated author Jane Austen, who stayed there briefly in 1801 with her family before they found more permanent lodgings in the city.

Paranormal activity has been reported at 71 Great Pulteney Street for decades. Several residents and visitors have claimed to experience unexplained phenomena within the property. One of the most persistent ghost stories involves the spirit of a young woman in Georgian-era clothing, often seen gliding through the hallways or standing at the top of the main staircase.

Another frequently reported apparition is that of a male figure, believed to be a former owner from the early 19th century. Witnesses describe hearing footsteps in empty rooms and feeling an unseen presence watching them.

In the 1960s, a family living in the house reported objects moving on their own and doors slamming shut without explanation. Some psychics who have visited the property claim to have sensed multiple spirits, including that of a child who died in the house during the Victorian era.

While many of these ghost stories remain unverified, the persistent nature of the reports and the house’s long history have cemented its reputation as one of Bath’s most intriguing paranormal locations.
