Medieval witch prison dubbed Britain's 'most haunted house' up for sale

Britain's 'most haunted house' for sale after history as medieval prison for witches

Quote:

Britain's potentially "most haunted house" — a medieval prison for witches — is up for sale. The property listing, marketed by Home Domus, said the owner is seeking offers in excess of 240,000 pounds ($440,000) for the two-bedroom cottage. Real estate website Right Move described the cottage as the "most haunted house in Essex and possibly England". "The Cage was a medieval prison where thirteen witches were kept in 1582 while awaiting trial. They became known as the Witches of St Osyth, and among them was the notorious Ursula Kemp," Home Domus wrote in their advertisement. "At the end of the trial three were found guilty, including Ursula, and were sentenced to death by hanging."

Not the worst paranormal-related news article I've seen. It puts itself at a remove from any actual claim of the paranormal by only quoting other sources making those claims or using qualifiers like "potentially".
