Probably not as there's no such thing as ghosts...because it's completely mental.

We all thought that before we spent time in the bar alone.

I'm sure Lauren (or Flash) had a book about Scottish hauntings that had a huge chapter on The Moorings...

"The Haunted North", if you go to the link I posted above there's loads of info about it. I think that's where those passages came from actually.

That's creepy as hell! I've only been in the bassment on my own once (and the bar was obviously open at the time) and it felt really creepy so I ran back upstairs. I figured I was just being a scaredy cat but it seems I maybe had some reason to be scared. I didn't hear or see anything, it was just a feeling.

However, the knife would definitely bother me, so would the recording of the words, "get out". I'm curious, did you put the 70's price listing back up after hearing the recording?

Doug and I were at opposite ends of the room facing each other and frozen to the spot, we both saw the whole thing. The bucket was empty.

Another time as I came upstairs at 2am, and someone lobbed a bread knife at me. There was nobody else in the bar.

When the builders were in working over night in 2003 they heard an banging sound coming from somewhere around the stage. As they were telling me this someone went downstairs and opened and closed the keg cellar door (you need to slam it shut), this made the exact same sound. They both went pure white.

Have read some utter shite on this website but this certainly takes it to the next level! All those beer glasses you have been sticking to your arse have clearly affected the flow of blood to your brain....

I don't believe in ghosts but I still wouldn't want to be in there alone at night, that would be hugely creepy, ghosts or not.

The Moorings must be haunted, one time when I was there a few years ago this weird beardie guy made my newly bought pint disappear.

[The Ghost Of Fudge]

which reminds me... there was that time Man Of The Future opened the band night on a saturday, and several punters spontaneously vanished from the bar...
i was just quietly drinking my pint as this happened, and i'm pretty sure i heard a ghostly voice whisper in my ear "This is your fault, Fudge..."
