Brian Topp Posted July 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Did a tourist with a camera catch a ghost in the act at well-known ‘haunted pub’ in Bolton? That’s what is being claimed after a video emerged that supposedly showed a ghoul in the window of the Ye Olde Man & Scythe. The apparent phantom came in the form of a flickering light that could be seen in the YouTube clip. ‘I’m not too happy about it, that’s my flat behind the window,’ said the establishment’s manager Tony Dooley, who previously claimed his feet were licked by a ghost at the pub.

freetoroam Posted July 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Tourist? Not that old chestnut! Apart from that, all else seems normal. A light flickers in a window. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr no Posted July 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I don't believe that a tourist would visit Bolton and if he did he would be sorely disappointed. The landlord is definitely trying to drum up some trade,thats the second reflection ghost video of the pub in the last 6 months.If you look at the poll and the comments below this article it would appear that the locals aren't too impressed http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/11338432.VIDEO__Another__ghost__sighting_at_Bolton_s_most_haunted_pub/?ref=var_0&ref=mmsp Edited July 15, 2014 by dr no 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient Zero Posted July 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2014 It's legit because it had the stupid, idiot red circle. Remember kids, the absence of the red circle is a sure sign of trickery. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted July 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I think we should get a little competition going: Most haunted pubs in the UK vs Gates to Hell Let's see which one there is more of. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one pub has 2 ghosts, does that could as 2 points? etc etc etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseCuster Posted July 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm pretty sure that pub, the Olde Man and Scythe has come up before on these forums as the site of supposed ghostly activity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic-2-be Posted July 18, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah I have to agree this could easily be lights just flashing onto the window, reflections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalThinker Posted July 19, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 19, 2014 So the landlord claims a ghost once licked his feet, that's interesting! I'm a ghost so just to let this person know I exist and am currently haunting his pub I will lick his fecking feet, not manifest myself fully in front of him and tell him!

A ghost with a serious foot fetish, now that's just downright disturbing. Far more interesting than the moronic flashing in the window, however. It looks like the flashing strobe lights that some people set up during Halloween. These ridiculous videos have tarnished the pristine shine the Internet once had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVG Posted July 19, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 19, 2014 They really need to better than this sad attempt. What is next some hairy creature running all over the planet that is never very photogenic !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These ridiculous videos have tarnished the pristine shine the Internet once had. I was thinking it looked more like something going past quickly on the opposite side of the street reflecting on the window...who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is next some hairy creature running all over the planet that is never very photogenic !!! The next news worthy item may be "Evidence of Bigfoot found in the basement of ______'s pub. The pub owner stumbled upon this when going into the basement recently. He discovered a poorly constructed teepee." The pub owner added, "it had to be him [bigfoot] who else could build such a fantastic structure?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both instances are shrouded in mystery because the only proof that exists are blurry photos, taken by pub goers with temporary, blurry vision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
