Spooked Window Won't Get A Window Clean


Mystery face appears in ‘haunted’ pub’s window: Drinkers in one Shropshire pub have been left scratching their heads after a series of spooky goings on – including this face appearing on the bar’s window. Staff and punters at the White Hart pub in Ironbridge might have been accused of drinking one too many ales until one customer snatched this picture on his mobile phone. Bar manager Mike Herbert said there have also been spooky goings on upstairs in the pub’s restaurant. The mystery face was only noticed on the window on Wednesday and since then, staff have noticed other peculiar things happening. Mr Herbert said: “We just don’t know what it is. “It was noticed on Wednesday and everyone has been trying to guess who it is. One person said it looks like Elvis Presley. “It just appeared on the window and we don’t know if it is on the inside or the outside. We don’t want to touch it incase we disturb it either.

“Then on the same day, upstairs in the restaurant we noticed something weird on one of the seats. It was only a short time after we saw the face on the window. “It was a strange triangular indent on the seat and when the housekeeper when to clean it off it just disappeared. “Then we went back later and it was there again, so we went to get the camera, but it disappeared again. No one can explain any of this, it’s very strange.” Mr Herbert added the pub has never seen anything like it before. “No one knows who the man in the window looks like and we have not come across this kind of thing in the past.” Mr Herbert had to intervene yesterday when it appeared the face might be destroyed. “We had the window cleaner around and I had to stop him from cleaning that window,” he added.


Does this look rather earily similar? Mystery of ghostly face pressed to pub window at The Bell Inn, Almeley. Regulars will be glad to know there is no shortage of spirits at a Herefordshire village pub. But the news is baffling landlady Lisa Lewis as these appear to be of the extra-corporeal variety. Lisa and her customers at the 15th century Bells Inn, Almeley, watched in amazement the other evening as a ghostly image of what looked like a face appeared on the outside windows of the pub’s French doors. “It just seemed to appear on the window,” said Lisa, who has been in charge of the pub with her fiancee, Jason, for three years. “Nobody knew where it came from. It could have been somebody playing a joke but we would have seen them doing it if it was.”
Lisa, who believes there is “some sort of truth” in the paranormal, said a spider’s web which was covering the window on the outside would have been broken had a person pressed their face against the glass.“The customers were all as freaked out as we were,” she said. The pub isn’t the first building in Herefordshire rumoured to be haunted. The Black Lion pub in Bridge Street, Hereford, is said to host paranormal activity while Avenbury Church is also reputed to be haunted. Click picture to enlarge.
