Ghostbusters find local haunt is all wines and spirits

Pat Hills
6/ 8/2008

PUBLICANS Mel and Ann Vickers have more than their fair share of spirits behind their bar.

And that is because they share their home with an entire family of phantoms – said to have been brutally slain in a frenzied attack by a jealous cuckolded clergyman centuries ago – who are lurking in the shadows of the old converted parsonage.

   I agree with Helen . The pub was haunted and i also think the previous occupants of the pub should be going on 'most haunted' and GMTV and other shows to tell their tale .For a small fee of course. Also that boy who lived there , Anthony i think he was called .He always looked like he had the devil in him .Oh, just thinking about his face gives me shivers down my spine .

   As somebody who has been in this pub in the past, i believe that all the sightings are down to the imagination of the drunken hillbillies that frequent this pub. More people see double after a night in this pub than any other I have ever been in. I have seen them crawling out, on one occasion talking to a rabbit that wasnt there !!!!. Its not a surprise they are visualizing people moving about all the time - ITS A PUB !

   my parents were licencees of this pub 20 years ago, our two dogs, Bryn and Blaze, would go nowhere near the cellar area either. drinks often flew of shelves by themselves. staff and customers alike often claimed to have seen or heard things, this pub was renown for being haunted by all who ever lived there.
