The port of Rye, East Sussex is a charming, historical town but it was once the haunt of highwaymen and smugglers. Many of these would have stayed at The Mermaid Inn.

Town Heritage Officer Peter Cosstick relates the history of the inn and its associations with the notorious Hawkhurst gang. Michaela then meets with local historian Ted Emson for a guided tour of the Old Town Gaol where ghostly children and a malign presence have been sensed. In the second part of the show Michaela visits Michelham Priory near Hailsham. Originally founded as an Augustinian priory but converted into a private house.
