Landlord says his pub is haunted

Jeremy Stirling runs the Maidens Head pub in Kent and explained that a spooky spirit has sent glasses flying across the room and is turning the jukebox on by itself.

He revealed that the spirit had been at work in the pub's converted attic, which doubles up as a bed-and-breakfast, and has left guests "freaked out".

Stirling said: "A woman said she was lying on the bed and the glass flew and hit the wall.

"And one of the staff says that the jukebox has started playing music when it was switched off at the mains - 'Golden Brown' by The Stranglers."

The landlord added: "We've also had two sets of car keys, which were in a locked room never accessed by staff, go missing. There was no rhyme nor reason.

"And then we had one lady sitting in the room watching TV, and a water glass exploded on the side."
