Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Almost every bar and pub that you go into in
- 0:02Speaker 1: Britain will have a ghost story. They are usually some
- 0:06Speaker 1: of the oldest buildings in any given town or city
- 0:08Speaker 1: so they have a long history of regulars, some that
- 0:11Speaker 1: still hang around, even after their death. Britain is also
- 0:15Speaker 1: said to have the most CCTV cameras of any country
- 0:18Speaker 1: in the world. With so many cameras and so many ghosts,
- 0:22Speaker 1: it was only a matter of time before a spirit
- 0:25Speaker 1: was caught on camera. Here are 8 recordings of ghosts
- 0:29Speaker 1: and poltergeists caught on CCTV in UK pubs. Some of
- 0:33Speaker 1: them are quite low quality depending on when they were
- 0:36Speaker 1: regarded but we have done our best to clean them up.
- 0:39Speaker 1: This first video was captured by security cameras at the
- 0:42Speaker 1: Wolf Pub in Penrith Cumbria, a building that used to
- 0:45Speaker 1: be used as a funeral parlor. It shows an unusual
- 0:49Speaker 1: white shape that seems to be sitting in the chair
- 0:51Speaker 1: or leaning over the table. Staff have said that it
- 0:55Speaker 1: looks as if it is trying to clean the table.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Perhaps it is a ghostly cleaner or expire worker still
- 1:01Speaker 1: wiping the tables down. It then flies upwards and out
- 1:05Speaker 1: of one of the windows. Very strange indeed. This case
- 1:10Speaker 1: was taken inside the E Old Man and Sith Pub
- 1:13Speaker 1: in Bolton. It is one of the oldest pubs in
- 1:16Speaker 1: Britain and is reputedly haunted by James Stanley, the 7th
- 1:19Speaker 1: Earl of Derby and a young girl known only as Jenny.
- 1:23Speaker 1: When the closed-circuit cameras stopped recording mysteriously one morning at 6.18 a.m.,
- 1:29Speaker 1: the management checked the footage to see why. What they
- 1:32Speaker 1: saw was a very creepy, hooded figure flickering on the
- 1:35Speaker 1: camera just before it cuts off. As this Earl James
- 1:39Speaker 1: Stanley trained to order round of drinks. This footage was
- 1:43Speaker 1: taken inside the Bassa Villa pub in Bridge North, Stropshire.
- 1:48Speaker 1: It is supposedly haunted by a mother whose children were
- 1:51Speaker 1: playing hide and seek in a building in the 17th century.
- 1:55Speaker 1: The legend goes that the children decided to hide in
- 1:57Speaker 1: the cellar of the tavern during the rainstorm but got
- 1:59Speaker 1: locked in by mistake. A flash flood caused the cellar
- 2:04Speaker 1: to be filled with water and the children drowned. Patrons
- 2:07Speaker 1: report seeing the figure of a woman dressed in black,
- 2:10Speaker 1: the heartbroken mother, forever haunting the place of her children's death.
- 2:15Speaker 1: It seems she is also capable of portage activity, as
- 2:18Speaker 1: this footage shows glasses being thrown from the shelves and
- 2:21Speaker 1: across the room one by one. This is the Talisman
- 2:25Speaker 1: Pub in Wolverhampton. This particular drinking hole is home to
- 2:30Speaker 1: a restless spirit of a prostitute from the early 1900s,
- 2:33Speaker 1: which she is said to walk about on the upper
- 2:35Speaker 1: floors of the building. A small ghost child playing with
- 2:39Speaker 1: wooden bricks has also been seen in the main by area.
- 2:42Speaker 1: This smoky apparition mystified staff. they call it evil and frightening.
- 2:48Speaker 1: It seems to dance about wildly moving across the table.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It reminds me of old smoky pubs, but smoking has
- 2:55Speaker 1: been banned in English pubs since 2007, so what is
- 2:58Speaker 1: this unusual shape? The Three Arrows pub in Hewwood is
- 3:02Speaker 1: over 150 years old and has a reputation for being haunted.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Staff and customers have seen objects move when nobody touched
- 3:10Speaker 1: them and heard voices from the bar when nobody was there.
- 3:14Speaker 1: It seems like the portage is not camera shy either,
- 3:17Speaker 1: as this footage shows. The first clip is of a
- 3:20Speaker 1: menu being thrown from the table. As you can see,
- 3:24Speaker 1: there is nobody sat at any of the nearby tables
- 3:27Speaker 1: and the doors are closed, eliminating the possibility of a draft.
- 3:32Speaker 1: The second clip shows a bottle open and have been
- 3:34Speaker 1: thrown to the floor. As you can see in this picture,
- 3:38Speaker 1: these particular bottle openers are attached via two screws and
- 3:41Speaker 1: have to be physically lifted upwards and pulled forward to
- 3:44Speaker 1: be detached. This is a very energetic poltergeist. This footage
- 3:50Speaker 1: was recorded on CCTV cameras inside the now-closed Dream Water
- 3:54Speaker 1: Lounge in Warrington. Staff reported an impressive atmosphere inside the bar,
- 3:59Speaker 1: as well as witnessing bathroom taps turning on by themselves.
- 4:04Speaker 1: There are two serious events caught on camera. This one
- 4:08Speaker 1: shows lights flickering as customers walk down the stairs and
- 4:11Speaker 1: then an unexplained liquid drips over the lens as if
- 4:13Speaker 1: it is raining indoors. The second piece of evidence shows
- 4:17Speaker 1: an airy figure walk along the road bridge in another
- 4:20Speaker 1: part of the building. The bar had a shipwreck theme
- 4:24Speaker 1: and it is thought that some of the decorations came
- 4:26Speaker 1: from a real shipwreck. Maybe those decorations brought along some
- 4:30Speaker 1: drowned spirits at the same time. The Castle Pub in
- 4:34Speaker 1: South End-on-Sea, Essex is reputedly haunted by a ghostly monk.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Again we have two separate incidents caught on CZ TV.
- 4:44Speaker 1: The first shows poltergeist activity in the bar area. Bottles
- 4:48Speaker 1: and napkins are thrown around violently. I don't know why
- 4:52Speaker 1: ghosts in pubs do like thrown things around so much,
- 4:55Speaker 1: maybe they're still drunk. The second clip from the same
- 4:59Speaker 1: building is taken in one of the upstairs corridors where
- 5:02Speaker 1: the monk has been spotted. You can see a shadow
- 5:05Speaker 1: moving down the wall, even though there was nobody to
- 5:08Speaker 1: be seen in a corridor. What could be causing this
- 5:11Speaker 1: mysterious and disembodied shadow? This is the final piece of
- 5:15Speaker 1: CZTV footage. It shows a stairwell in the White Lion
- 5:20Speaker 1: Pub immediately. The pub is haunted by the ghost of
- 5:23Speaker 1: former landlord James Rogers. His favorite tankard is still kept
- 5:28Speaker 1: behind the bar because whenever it gets moved his angry
- 5:31Speaker 1: spirit causes alarms to go off and beer taps to malfunction.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Customers and staff have also seen the ghost of a
- 5:38Speaker 1: lady walking down one of the corridors. This hooded figure
- 5:42Speaker 1: was spotted on camera outside of the lady's toilets. The
- 5:46Speaker 1: clip is very short and low quality, but if we
- 5:49Speaker 1: pause and enhance this frame, we can clearly see that
- 5:52Speaker 1: it's a human figure. Could it be the female apparitions?
- 5:56Speaker 1: Or is it James Rogers checking on his tankard? What
- 6:00Speaker 1: did you think of the clips? You can also follow
- 6:03Speaker 1: us on Facebook and Twitter. We post creepy pictures and
- 6:07Speaker 1: news stories that might not appear in our recordings, so check.
