Ghost Stories from British Pub and Inn Staff: True Hauntings Unexplained Encounters Behind the Bar

A pub owner wakes to something tugging at his wife's leg. A receipt shoots from a till that is not plugged in. After closing time, an old man in a cellar begins throwing tools at the staff. Britain's pubs and inns are built for company. Yet when the doors are locked, the glasses are cleared, and the last customer has gone home, some employees insist they are not alone. In Ghost Stories from British Pub and Inn Staff, you will step behind the bar at thirty real establishments and encounter the unexplained experiences reported by landlords, barmaids, managers, and closing crews. From a coachman-like figure at a Welsh mountain inn to phantom footsteps in Aberdeen and CCTV anomalies in the Midlands, these are the stories told by the people who work after dark. Pull up a chair and discover: - The Tug on the Bed: the first-night encounter that unsettled the sceptical owner of the Skirrid Mountain Inn.- The Unplugged Till: the machine that produced a receipt when no electricity should have reached it.- Bill After Closing: the footsteps, knocking, and self-starting equipment reported by staff at Aberdeen's oldest pub.- The Cellar Tool-Thrower: the old man blamed when objects fly below one of York's historic inns. Perfect for readers of British folklore, true ghost stories, haunted places, and the secret history of the public house, this collection treats every incident as a report or tradition-not proof-and never asks legend to masquerade as fact. Last orders have been called. Something is still moving downstairs.
