The landlord of a “haunted” pub was left unsettled after he watched a pint glass get pushed off a table and smash without anyone touching it.
Paranormal investigators believe it's the work of a teenage ghost.
Scott Dawson caught the “creepy” footage on his CCTV camera at the Ring O Bells pub in Kendal, Cumbria, just before 8.30 pm on June 29.
He claimed it isn't the first spooky incident to have taken place in the pub.
The footage shows a punter ordering two pints at the bar and placing one on a table while he takes his dog outside.
Once no one is looking, the pint glass seems to move towards the edge on its own, before startling customers as it smashes on a chair.
Scott, who became landlord of the pub in December 2021, insisted the weird scenes aren't the only “unexplained” thing to have happened in the pub, as he says numerous pints have moved on their own and the cellar has developed a reputation for being creepy.
The 43-year-old has had paranormal investigators take a look at the area, who have claimed there's a ghost of a 17-year-old boy named Edward who hangs out in the cellar because he died after drowning in a well on the property.
Scott, originally from Manchester, said: “I live here and for the first couple of weeks I could hardly sleep – it was very creepy.
“There’s a lot of strange goings-on - my view is there’s definitely a good chance this place is haunted.
“The glass was sat on the table for a good while before it moved. There was nothing to trigger the movement – it’s as if there's a presence there.
“There’s been other occasions in that corner where we’ve had pints moving on the table and tipping over. I’ve even swapped the table round and it still seems to happen – so it’s not the table itself but it's definitely in that spot.
“Normally the guy is one of these people that can explain away something like that, but he watched the footage back and was flabbergasted. He didn't believe in anything strange or paranormal, but he does now.”
He went on: “If you believe the mediums and there is a young lad called Edward here, then it would make sense that a 17-year-old boy might find it quite funny to wind people up and have a bit of fun.
“It is creepy, but there’s nothing nasty in here – I think he’s just playful.”
