Whether you believe in ghosts or not, the spooky tales which have attached themselves to our watering holes are a chance to reflect on the history of these fascinating buildings – and those who lived in the area in much older times.
Victims of a notorious serial killer, an unfortunate pub worker, and a conscientious cleaning lady still keeping things neat from beyond the grave are among the ghosts said to walk our haunted hostelries.
17. The old Grey Horse, Whitburn
Now closed as a pub and housing a Coop store instead. Legend has it that the ghost of a former pub cleaning lady may have haunted the building. Occasional creaking and knocking noises noted by regulars were credited to “Mrs T doing her cleaning rounds”. Photo: jpimedia
