You mentioned CCTV. What about going a stept further and having an online "ghost cam" in the pub? Now I'm sure there is a logical explaination for this but mysterious things do happen that even I can't always explain.

It's something I have been considering, but as I am not the occupant of the pub right now, it's down to what the present landlady is comfortable with and I don't want to ask her as they're leaving soon so it's the least of their worries right now to be honest (gawd, doncha hate moving! Yeuchh! ). But I take the lease over myself in a few weeks time. Once I am sorted and settled...after that........wheeeee, we can discuss possibilities then as it will be up to me (subject to what I can afford of course as I'll just have spent all my money on the lease LOL)!!!

[sir guy the seeker]

A ghost cam would be super cool, we would all be able to keep an eye on the proceedings

[Wansley]

Sarah great story so far! Sounds like a very active place and one i think alot of us would love to visit.

Keep up the good work on the research!

Also the camera ideas would be brilliant if you could get them up and running in the future!

[sarah snow]

Well, it is official tonight as I've signed the lawyer papers, that this pub as of end of October will be under my stewardship.

I've had to pay for lease and big outlay, so off chocks may not be able to afford cam and cameras. But I'm really wanting to do this so as soon as I get trading and can afford these extras to share with UM, watch this space!!

I'm gonna need LA/SG to help with technicalities online, but she's a peach so it will be fine am sure

OMG, am so excited!!! I am gonna live 24/7 in this place- WOW!!

Allow me to congratulate you on your purchase. If you ever need someone to test the beer in your gaff to make sure the alcohol is not cursed then I'd be willing to put my body on the line for you and for the progress of science by drinking a lot of it.

Hi,

That's great news for you

Anyway, just thought I might post this in case you want to know how to do a little ghost hunting: Ghost Cams -setting up

Those links beneath are popular. I do think there's always going to be something "odd" that shows up. By using one of those Williard Library cams 7 years ago, I did once capture something that looked like a cloudy woman but I put this down to lighting and reflections. I posted it on a forum and everyone got very excited about it. Unfortunately I don't have the picture or that computer anymore. I doubt the other forum Spooks community would've kept it after all this time.

Wooooo Congratulations Landlady!

Keep an eye out for increased activities at this time changes and upheavals can flare things up.

Sorry so long on this, it's been chaos (but great)

I took over the pub in the last few days, alrready are interesting

I moved in on Friday and me very sceptical pal stayed the weekend with me to help out. He woke me up with a cup of tea on Saturday morning with the words "Couldn't sleep huh? I heard you pacing about outside my room at dawn". He was stunned that I was fast asleep in bed all night after we cashed up, I never even got up for a wee or anything as I was bushed and slept right through. Not me, guv!

My Parents are helping me with my venture for now. I was in the bar last night after closing chatting to Mum, and it was one of those situations when you are talking to someone, but then they see someone behind you, and look to see who it is. I turned round also, as it obviously had grabbed her attention. She didn't want to tell me at first, as I live here now on my own. But as we had been talking, she had seen a grey figure walk down the stairs. She couldn't tell if it was man or woman, but she didn't want to tell me as it was the first night of my living here on my own in this big old place, bless her.

I have taken a photo of the place it happened but am on a new lappy for now. Bear with me please, but it's fabulous here and I'm loving living here

P.S. Just as I typed, I heard a door slam downstairs. I know I locked up! I will go and check, but it will be nothing happening. They tease, the tinkers

PS: Yeah, all quiet there.

Well, you really can't fault them for pulling pranks on you. After all, they're eternally partying! I rather like the idea. I've been haunting bars for decades. It's comforting to think that the beer will still be pouring freely even "after hours." CHEERS!

@ Sarah,

Congrats on the new acquisition. Best o' luck.

[sarah snow]

Thanks for the good wishes, it's been a good time here these last 2 weeks

I've probably been too tired to notice too much lately, but one things that sticks out was yesterday morning was when I heard a voice say "Hello" from the next room when I got up in the morning to patter to the loo. Made me smile, as it's a big old place, and I live here on my own. I think they approve, I hope they do

[sarah snow]

A couple of interesting things lately in the pub. I'm so tired with running it on my own that I'm glad they didn't happen to me or I would have blamed fatigue (not that things don't happen, just I'm so knackered, you can't take them seriously)

My customer has twice seen a figure- one walking past the kitchen window. She asked if my Mum was cooking, to which I looked confused, and then she realised nobody was upstairs at all and it was all locked up

Just this afternoon, I had stayed open for her and her boyfriend so they could watch the rugby match in the bar. A ginger haired figure walked past the window where you can see into beer garden, so I ran out as soon as she said, but they'd disappeared!

Alice (my friend/customer) and her family have been in the village since the 1600s and probably further back, so we've joked this afternoon that it's maybe people who knew her ancestors, just passing by to say hello to her
