Brian Topp Posted July 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2014 A SPOOKED couple reckon their 17th century pub is haunted after a pint of ale flew off the bar and landed on the floor - without spilling a single drop. Jenny Heard and Martin McConn laughed off ghost stories after taking over the historic Crow's Nest Inn on Bodmin Moor, in Cornwall. But within days of their arrival the couple say they witnessed a full pint of Proper Job ale slide off the bar and onto the floor.

nigella Posted July 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I have had things flung at me before. Out of nowhere. If you have had this happen, it is not as scary as you would think it. I think part of the brain goes in shock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinewave Posted July 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I suppose it might help them sell a few extra pints every week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafterman Posted July 9, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It's always a pub isn't it? The newspapers in the UK should start charging advertising rates for these kinds of stories. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonKing Posted July 9, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I was just happy when the article said "and landed on the floor-without spilling a single drop" I always hate to hear stories about alcohol abuse 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrooma Posted July 9, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 9, 2014 i've been to the Crow's Nest, and to say the locals are a little odd is an understatement. they make the people in the Slaughtered Lamb (american werewolf...) look like a Nobel commitee outing!! . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVG Posted July 9, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Nice story but I doubt that it is true, if they need stories like that to drum up business than go for it and keep pouring !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKing Posted July 9, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 9, 2014 . and who said the smoking ban wouldn't affect businesses...? oh.. right... it was a politician.... . Yeah the whole smoking ban in bars hasn't worked out so well here in the states either,several bars i know of have shut down. I'm not much of a smoker myself but seriously who the hell goes to a bar worrying about their health.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use your brain Posted July 9, 2014 #18 Share Posted July 9, 2014 They are just trying to attract attention to their pub. Anyone that has ever dropped a full beer from any height can tell you that it doesn't make a difference how it lands, it will get on the floor... along with 1000 pieces of glass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Gummybuns Posted July 9, 2014 #25 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Oh. Wow. A drunk specter blamed for moving a pint. If I was a drunk ghost, I'd want a drink, too, and nothing would stop me from having a few sips of a person's drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
