King John’s Hunting Lodge, located in Sedgemoor, Somerset, is a medieval timber-framed building dating back to the 15th century. Despite its name, there is no evidence that King John ever used or visited the property, as he died in 1216, long before its construction. The building was originally a wool merchant’s house, later serving as a shop and residence for various trades over the centuries.

The structure features ornate carvings and architectural details typical of the late medieval period. Its three-story facade with jettied upper floors is a prime example of the era’s building techniques. The interior retains many original features, including exposed timber framing and period fireplaces.

Paranormal activity reported at King John’s Hunting Lodge includes sightings of a ghostly figure believed to be a former resident or shopkeeper. Witnesses have described seeing a man in period clothing moving through the rooms, particularly on the upper floors. Some visitors have reported feeling a sudden chill or sensing an unseen presence while exploring the building.

Another frequently reported phenomenon is the sound of footsteps when no one else is present, often heard coming from empty rooms or the stairs. Some staff and visitors have claimed to hear whispers or muffled conversations, especially in the former living quarters.

Objects have reportedly moved on their own, particularly in the areas once used as shops. Items on display have been found in different positions or locations, despite no one having touched them. Some people have also reported feeling as if they were being watched while alone in certain rooms of the building.
