Lilly Posted June 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Ah...now that does sound rather daunting. Kind of like the naive hunters who go 'down Maine' to do some hunting and end up getting lost and dead instead of bagging an 8 point buck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted June 14, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Got to live the history behind most of these pubs...murder and deaths. Must of been something in the gin. Today our pubs are a bit tamer, but instead of fancy a fright, many have now been downgraded to fancy a fight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in a few scary pubs on my football travels,it wasn't ghosts but the locals who caused the fear! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblykiss Posted June 15, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 15, 2014 This is why I am glad I live in America, a young land with neither violence or death. Every bar I visit is as pristine and prefect as the Virgin Mary's morning breath and twice as ghost free as OJ Simpson's gloves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted June 15, 2014 #17 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Is it a violent past history that fosters a haunting? Or, is it a haunting that fosters a recollected violent history? Or, is it shrewdly marketing a haunting with history that fosters greater sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaraT Posted June 18, 2014 #21 Share Posted June 18, 2014 There's every reason a pub should be haunted. After all, they do serve spirits, don't they? [My entry for the Worst Joke of 2014 Award.] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Serenity Posted June 22, 2014 #23 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) I heard about "The Viaduct" on TV one night! All I could remember that it was built on top of an old cell(s). I've been wanting to know the name of it so badly. I even want to visit the tavern. Edited June 22, 2014 by Princess Serenity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
