Devon Landlord Calls in Ghostbusters After Claiming his Pub is Haunted by Shakespeare
Written in Jan. 2015
A landlord has called in the ghostbusters claiming his pub is being haunted – by William SHAKESPEARE.
The ‘Real Investigators of the Paranormal’ have visited the Jolly Sailor in East Ogwell, Devon, to seek out a ghostly figure that has been haunting the bar.
Landlord John Turner said he didn’t believe in ghosts until he took over the Jolly Sailor but was keen to find out more about its history.
He said: “It’s a friendly ghost, we just want to find out more about him. The figure looks a bit like a William Shakespeare.
“Now that these discoveries have been made, hopefully we’ll be able to find out more about the history of the ghost and where it might have come from.”
Chris Marshall, chairman of Real Investigators of the Paranormal, said its mediums detected a priest and two monks in the bar, along with a young man.
He said: “They also connected with the names Loar Wakefield, a William Webber and a John Webber.
“A few orbs were also spotted and dark shadows were noticed in the skittles alley.”
The Jolly Sailor dates back to the 13th century when sailors would come inland to avoid the press gang.

Ghost Pictured in Pub Near Henry VIII’s Haunted Palace
Written by Russell Myers in Jan. 2015
Look very closely and you can see that this pub is a favourite haunt of at least one regular.
For in the top-right corner of the grainy image, a tall ghostly figure is pictured lingering in the background of a happy family snap.
Teacher Debbie Monteforte took the photo of her husband Alex and their son Raphael at Christmas.
A family friend said: “Debbie took the pic and thought nothing of it. But when they looked at it on a computer it was plain to see the haunted face of a woman wearing a long dark coat behind them.
“The family insists there was no one standing behind them and there was no place to hang a coat.
“Even if there was someone standing there, they would have to be 8ft tall to appear like that. It’s beyond spooky.”
The Kings Arms Hotel is one of Britain’s oldest pubs and sits in the shadows of Hampton Court Palace, south west London.
The 300-year-old boozer, near King Henry VIII’s former residence, has a dark past.
In the 19th century, a boy is rumoured to have found his mother hanged in the building. The lad was so disturbed he threw himself out a window and died.
Both “ghosts” of the mum and son are said to have haunted the pub ever since.
A grey-haired lady is also said to appear in a bedroom window.

Or, I’m Sharing My Fave Romantic Montages With You
I’m dedicating June to one of my all-time favorite series Teen Wolf. Prepare yourself for adorable Sterek moments (mostly Derek protecting Styles). Enjoy!
The truck is packed, the cable is off, and the mail is being held. We’re really doing this.
I think I’m finally ready to leave. Though it’s bittersweet, we’ve said good-bye to all our friends and favorite places (I had to have Bojangles one last time, and I’ll probably swing by Smithfield’s for lunch today), we are headed off on a new adventure in the Pacific Northwest.
Job search update: I haven’t heard back from the school I Skyped with last week, but I have another phone interview with a different school today at noon. Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I’m so physically and emotionally exhausted from preparing to move that I could care less about an interview today? I’ll give it my all, but my heart’s not in this one. My mind is just in too many places.
Today Jacksonville, NC is a balmy 83 degrees with 65% humidity, which means I look like I’ve just stepped out of the shower at all times of the day, but today in Tumwater, WA it’s 60 degrees with 70% humidity. I’m not sure that’s any better, but I’ll take it.
Next time you hear from me I’ll be on the road!
