* King’s Lynn’s Heart – 15/16 Tuesday Market Place, King’s Lynn
Several legends explain why this heart is here, though all revolve around the same theme; the market square was once a place of execution, and the heart exploded out of one of the unfortunate female victim's chest, embedding into the wall (see photo opposite). Number 15 is also home to a poltergeist who throws things to the floor.
* The Red Lady – The Dukes Head Hotel, Tuesday Market Place
This figure in red has been seen walking the corridors and climbing staircases. She is said to be the shade of a woman who killed herself over her two lovers. Room 18 was once haunted after an attempted suicide resulted in a dying man being brought into the suite - his ghostly moaning once drove people away, though now it has faded.

* The Bride – Purfleet Quay, King’s Lynn
