Pub Ghosts

[RogerB]

I have always loved a good ghost story and pubs always seem to be a good source. Sceptics may wish to look away now! A friend of a woman I work with was drinking in the Lamb at Swanley about 3 weeks ago when the normally docile pub dog suddenly started going crazy, hairs standing up and barking wildly. Its behaviour was so unusual that he took a photo on his mobile phone. You can clearly see the 2 regulars sitting at the bar looking at the dog whilst the landlady is behind the bar. No-one noticed the extra figure at the bar that appears to be the centre of the dog's attention until they looked at the photo on the phone. I have spoken to the guy who took this remarkable photo - he knows a bit about the history of the area and tells me that there was an old priory nearby and a building near the pub was previously used as the village mortuary. The pub itself looks like 2 Victorian cottages knocked into 1 but the image appears to be wearing robes. He is happy for me to reproduce it here and I will probably send it off to an expert paranormal site for further evaluation. Judge for yourself...

Hmmm.. it look bit too good for me. I think it was photo shopped but then I wasn't there in pub...

Did even the photographer not see the apparition until looking at his phone snap?

Without wanting to spirit your thread away from the paranormal Roger, would it be appropriate to invite suggestions as to which topical beers may have been available at the Lamb that day?

[RogerB]

The guy doesn't sound like a hoaxer to me and he has been a friend of my work colleague for donkey's years so I don't doubt the photo's authenticity. Trick of light maybe but it doesn't explain why a docile dog would start going crazy like it apparently did.

OK, I'm sure you won't mind. I'll get the ball rolling. How about;

Oakham Bishop's Farewell, or Blue Monk(ey) Evolution, or, better still, Blue Monk(-ey, same gag) BG Sips (bar ghost sips...?)

Yeah yeah, I can hear the barracking, I'll get me coat...

I'd have thought' Monkman's Slaughter' must be in with a shout.

How about Anglo-Dutch Ghost on the Rim or same brewery At t'Ghoul & Ghost.

Maybe York Centurians Ghost or Tring Ghostly Knight.

Must be plenty more.

Oh dear, oh dear.

Once again showing my sci-fi leanings all I could see is the Emperor from Star Wars giving the dog instructions - 'Kill them, KILL THEM ALL....... Oh and a bag of pork scratchings and pint of BEAST'.

[Soup Dragon]

I just think it shows how bad the service is, he has been clearly waiting for ages to be served and the landlady just looks on - shocking
