Jamaica Inn is a legendary coaching house located on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. The building was erected in 1750 to give shelter to travellers as they passed over the wind-swept moors. The inn and its shadowy past were both immortalised in Daphne du Mauriers novel, "Jamaica Inn" published in 1936. Its isolated location made it a popular stop for smugglers and today, the Jamaica Inn is also home to a Smugglers' Museum, which comprises many artefacts from these unsavoury characters. Reports of a strange man dressed in a tricorne hat and cloak, apparently appears in the DuMaurier restaurant and then seems to walk through solid doors. Many people have also spotted the figure of a man sitting motionless on the wall outside of the Inn, apparently linked to a story about a stranger who when drinking in the inn was summoned outside only for his body was found on the moor the next day.
