A SPOOKED pub boss reckons he caught the ghost of the dead
landlord on CCTV hurling his mobile phone across the bar.
Manager Ajay Cohan, 30, captured the incident at the New
Talbot, in West Bromwich, West Mids, when he checked the security tapes to see
what happened to his iPhone.
Ajay was baffled when his mobile phone vanished from inside
the main room of the 100-year-old boozer while he was cleaning it in the early
hours of the morning.
But when he checked CCTV cameras footage showed his mobile
mysteriously disappearing from a chair at 2.30am.
Locals say the chair was the favourite seat of former
landlord Gary Stephens — who died in 1993 of a heart attack.
Ajay found his phone on the floor the following morning over
the other side of the pub and believes the strange incident could be the work
of Mr Stephens’ poltergeist.
Other footage taken from the same cameras a few days later
seems to show glowing orbs flitting across the room in the middle of the night.
And frightened staff have also reported feeling people touch
them on their shoulder while working alone.
Dad-of-one Ajay said: “It is really spooky, my family all
live in the pub and we’ve been a little scared ever since.
“It was crazy when I
watched back the footage, no one was near it and then it just flies off the
seat and across the pub.
“There is no explanation. The vibration function on my phone
is broken; there is no draft inside the pub.
It just looked like an invisible hand had grabbed it and
thrown it across the room.
“The dog refuses to come downstairs now after the orbs
started appearing, he goes mental so we have to keep him upstairs.
“It’s really freaky, I’m a sceptic about these kinds of
things but when you see things like that it makes you think twice, I’m trying
to stay sceptical but that’s hard.
“A few people have been saying it could have been his way of
telling me that was his seat.
“The girl who works here who was touched by the ghost now
won’t work evening shifts.”
One punter, Phil Lambert, 45, who has been using the pub for
over 20 years said: “There’s always been rumours here that the place is
haunted, it’s a very old place.
“I remember the old landlord Gary, when he had a drink with
the punters or after work that would always be his seat.
“It is a very odd coincidence — that’s for sure.”
