47 A thirsty ghost
A public house which was recently bought by Mr.Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr.Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr.Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr.Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept the inn even if he gives it away.


47. Mr. Ian Thompson put his pub up for sale which he just bought not long time ago. The reason he is selling it is that he believes it is haunted. He told me he heard strange noise in night time, he found the light on and the furniture was moved. He even saw the empty whisky bottles the ghost left. I told him it might have been some villagers that did it. But he said the villagers told him that they won’t accept the pub even it is free.
