Pub staff convinced they are sharing their local with a mischievous ghost after CCTV footage appeared to show a pint glass being knocked clean off a table with nobody anywhere near it.
The eerie incident was captured at a pub long rumoured to be haunted, when a freshly poured drink suddenly slid across a table and smashed onto the floor.
Staff say the unexplained moment has reinforced long-held beliefs that the building has a supernatural resident.
The pub’s manager said the incident happened while the bar was quiet and no customers were nearby.
He’s quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: “We were just going about our normal jobs when we heard the glass smash.
“When we checked the CCTV, there was absolutely no one near the table. It just moved on its own.”
The footage shows the pint sitting still for several seconds before appearing to jolt and topple, sending beer everywhere.
Staff insist there was no vibration, draft or accidental knock that could explain it.
The manager added: “You can clearly see the glass move sideways. It wasn’t on the edge, it wasn’t wobbling — it genuinely looks like something pushed it.”
The pub has a long reputation for strange goings-on, including unexplained noises, objects moving and doors opening on their own.
Workers say the latest incident fits perfectly with what they’ve experienced before.
A staff member said: “We’ve always joked about the ghost. But after seeing this, it’s hard not to believe something odd is going on. It’s definitely not the first strange thing that’s happened here.”
While sceptics online have suggested everything from vibrations to trickery, pub staff remain unconvinced.
The manager added: “We’ve looked at every possible explanation. Nothing adds up.”
Despite the fright, workers say the spirit — if that’s what it is — doesn’t feel threatening.
They continued: “If anything, it seems playful. Although knocking pints over is a bit rude.”
The clip has since gone viral, reigniting debate over whether Britain’s pubs are sometimes home to more than just thirsty customers — and whether this particular ghost simply wanted a drink of its own.
