The proprietor of a purportedly haunted pub in Britain believes that a mischievous ghost is behind a recent incident wherein a patron's pint of beer inexplicably fell off of a table. The strange event reportedly occurred last month at The Ring O Bells tavern in the English town of Kendal and was captured on video by the site's security system. In the footage, a pint of beer can be seen sitting on a table before slowly moving towards the edge until it topples onto an empty chair, surprising some patrons standing nearby at the bar. According to the pub's manager, Scott Dawson, "the glass was sat on the table for a good while before it moved. There was nothing to trigger the movement - it's as if there's a presence there."
He went on to explain that this particular area of the pub has had pints mysteriously tip over on more than one occasion and that they have even switched the table in an attempt to fix the problem, but the spilled drinks have persisted. While skeptical observers will undoubtedly suggest that the glass simply slid along the table due to condensation, Dawson suspects that there is a supernatural reason for the event. Noting that the nearly three-century-old establishment has something of a reputation for being haunted, the manager suggested that the spill could have been caused by one of the site's resident spirits.
A popular destination for paranormal investigators, the pub sports a strange square feature in its cellar that some visiting psychic mediums have surmised was once a well. Among the spirits that have been 'sensed' in the establishment, Dawson said, is that of a teenager named Edward who perished when he was pushed into the pit long ago. It is the pub manager's belief that the source of the spilled drinks just might be the ghost of young lad as "it would make sense that a 17-year-old boy might find it quite funny to wind people up and have a bit of fun." What do you think of the weird video? Was Edward pulling a fast one on the patrons at the bar or was the spill merely a natural occurrence? Weigh in with your thoughts at the C2C Facebook page.
