My name is Nikki, I was landlady there for 3 years from April 2008 to Jun 2011. I agree that the kitchen was one area popular for strange goings on. One day the chopping boards came tumbling down off a shelf for no reason as they were securly held in a rack and another day the lid of the plastic dustbin went flying across the kitchen. I used to tell Mrs Sloper to get out of my kitchen as I believe it may have been her. She was the landlady from at least 1881 to 1916 when she died. A friend saw a lady in a grey dress walk across the lower bar towards the site of the old doorway, this was at a time when the pub was closed, he was visiting and therefore there was nobody else in the pub. A kitchen assistant heard someone walking down the stairs to the cellar, she looked up to see who it was and there was nobody there.<br />Stuart's wife Helen saw a short lady in the cellar and on the decking outside when she was doing her laundry, at first she thought it was her daughter Charlotte but it wasn't. A customer sensed the spirit of a lady with her hair in a bun, wearing a grey dress. The spirit was distressed and wished a space in the pub to be opened up, this was very important to her that it be opened up. The customer asked me if there was a space or room in the pub that was closed and would be about 6ft square. I couldn't think of such a space but my husband remembered that he had often wondered what was in the space behind the toilets and between the bottle store. The customer asked to go there, she touched the wall and said "Yes this is the space". My husband knocked a few bricks out of the wall to view what was behind, it was just an empty space with a vaulted brick ceiling. We showed the customer a photo of Mrs Jane Sloper and she agreed this was the spirit. There were no other sightings or experiences after this time but it would be interesting to find out if anything has occurred since we left the pub in 2011!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08755505897634946791noreply@blogger.com
