Pub ghost ‘pushes pint off table’

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

A week-long series of strange occurrences in a Gloucester pub, The New Inn, has culminated in CCTV footage of a pint of beer being pushed from a table with no one around it at the time.

Previously patrons had heard the sounds of ghostly footsteps and rattling doors, common noises to most public houses that date back to the 1300s. But nothing has been so clear and unexplainable as this latest happening.

The Gloucester Active Paranormal Society (GAPS) have now been prompted to investigate the self-propelled pint at The New Inn, with one member of GAPS, Lyn Cinderey, there at the time.

the-new-inn “The quiz night was absolutely amazing,” she said.

“There were a few people in the bar, and four people saw this glass – a full pint – just lift up and fall on the floor. The glass didn’t even break.

“The rest of us looked around and heard the thud. We just couldn’t believe it. It was right there in the middle of the quiz.

“I’ve been investigating this [reputedly haunted] building for a long time and I’ve never known it so active.

“Activity has risen since 1 February when new managers, Mark and Samantha, arrived. Their daughter has been talking to a young girl – there is reputedly a young spirit girl there.”
