Flash@TMB Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Once when Doug and I were cleaning up at 2am, there was this rumbling sound and it was the mop bucket. It rolled out from under the bar counter, made a right turn, rolled along to the the hatch, made another right turn, rolled down the step and onto the floor, rolled along to the centre of the room then tipped over onto it's side. 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.

Swingin' Ryan Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I heard that The Moorings is haunted. Any truth in this rumour?Probably not as there's no such thing as ghosts...because it's completely mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm sure Lauren (or Flash) had a book about Scottish hauntings that had a huge chapter on The Moorings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 "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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest idol_wild Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Go on Jan, indulge us in your ghost story. Well, I bought Jan a pint. And served him Ouzo and he told me the story. It was good.Any other personal ghost experiences any of you can offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Well, I bought Jan a pint. And served him Ouzo and he told me the story. It was good.Any other personal ghost experiences any of you can offer?Well....Background...My first wife's grandfather was a retired miner, bed-ridden for years with a really dodgy ticker. When my ex-inlaws married, he was excited at the idea of being a grampa, but never thought he'd live long enough - especially as they had trouble conceiving initially. He did and was delighted when they gave birth to Claire and some years later, absolutely over the moon when Claire and I had a son. However, he died just 10 days after his great-grandson was born and never saw the kid.We all travelled to the Midlands for the funeral and stayed over at Gran & Grampa's house. Exhausted after the journey and funeral, we all headed for bed. About 2am, both my wife and I woke up with a start. I felt really uneasy and was convinced someone was in the room. The baby let out a loud, but brief cry. Then the feeling of unease disappeared and we drifted back off to sleep.At the breakfast table in the morning, everyone was quiet, then my bro-in-law said, "I'm sure there was someone in the room last night, about 2am, gave me the creeps" - and at that everyone concurred that they had woken up at the same time and felt the same thing.Now, I'm about as pragmatic as they come, but I'm convinced to this day that the old fella just wanted a look at his grandson.Hardly "The Exorcist" but it was genuine spooky experience for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 My grandad used to race Pigeons when he was younger. He died about 15 years ago. 10 months later on his birthday, a pigeon sat on my grans windowsill. Only a few months after that, his twin brother died. The following year on their birthday, two pigeons sat on my grans windowsill.Terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I had a weird experience in the Mooring a coupl'a weeks ago actually. I was waiting for my gal (Amy that works behind the bar at the weekend) to finish cleaning up after the open mic on a Sunday night, there was only myself, Amy and I think Angie in the bar. I went to the gents, and while taking a piss I was sure there was someone standing behind me, and there was a figure reflected in my glasses, I turn my hed to find there's no one there. It was pretty fucking creepy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen, heard or felt anything weird in the Moorings though I'm not keen on being in that basement by myself. It's got a weird atmosphere.

It's got a weird atmosphere.Yeah there's something quite dodgy about the basement. There's definitely a weird atmosphere down there. Someone once told me that theres a massive hole in the ground at the far end, like a small well or something. Is that true? I've never had the balls to venture far enough in to find out...
