Pub ghost blamed after pint flies off the bar and lands on the floor - without spilling a drop

A SPOOKED couple reckon their 17th century pub is haunted after a pint of ale flew off the bar and landed on the floor - without spilling a single drop.
Jenny Heard and Martin McConn laughed off ghost stories after taking over the historic Crow's Nest Inn on Bodmin Moor, in Cornwall.
But within days of their arrival the couple say they witnessed a full pint of Proper Job ale slide off the bar and onto the floor.
When they raced over to inspect the mess they were stunned to find the glass was standing upright on the stone floor and none of the beer had spilled.
As the oldest building in the village that bears its name, the Crow's Nest has long been a focus for thirsty locals and moorland visitors alike, appearing on Joel Gascoyne's famous Map of Cornwall as far back as 1699.
Numerous paranormal events have been chronicled over the years, from a clock that constantly ran ten minutes fast no matter how many times it was wound back, to a bell that was said to ring on its own.
Locals say as many as four separate ghosts haunt the traditional alehouse, including the spectre of a local woman who was murdered in 1844.
Jenny said: "It went terribly cold in the bar all of a sudden. Everybody in the pub just stopped and looked around to see how it could have happened, but the doors were all shut and nobody was standing near the glass at the time it moved.
"A house doesn't get to be this old without retaining a few of its more peculiar features.
"There's room for all of us here and we're looking forward to meeting more of our special guests properly."
