A security camera at a purportedly haunted Oklahoma bar captured a pair of puzzling incidents that may serve as confirmation of the site's spooky reputation. According to a local media report, staff and frequent patrons of the Belle Starr Saloon in the city of Purcell have long believed the building, which is over a century old, is home to a variety of spirits of the non-liquid variety. While their accounts of possible paranormal activity at the bar had previously been relegated to mere stories, two such weird events were caught on camera last month.
The first incident occurred as owner Justin Ellison was exiting the building and a pitcher inexplicably fell from a shelf. When he later checked the bar's security footage, he was struck by how the container appeared to be moved by a "force." Looking back on the odd moment, he posited that "it wasn’t just gravity. It threw it." Remarkably, a similar event happened the following day at the same spot in the bar. In this instance, the pitcher tipped over and righted itself in a rather unusual fashion. "I think we have a ghost," bartender Victoria Blevins mused, "maybe a couple of them." What do you make of the strange scenes filmed at the Belle Starr Saloon?
