A public house which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up for sale.
Mr. Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted. He told me that he
could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from
the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs
and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. Thompson had turned the lights
off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he
had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night
before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free
drink, Mr. Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will
not accept the pub even if he gives it away.&
