Mystery face appears in 'haunted' pub's window

Drinkers in one Shropshire pub have been left scratching their heads after a series of spooky goings on - including this face appearing on the bar's window.

Staff and punters at the White Hart pub in Ironbridge might have been accused of drinking one too many ales until one customer snatched this picture on his mobile phone. Bar manager Mike Herbert said there have also been spooky goings on upstairs in the pub's restaurant.

The mystery face was only noticed on the window on Wednesday and since then, staff have noticed other peculiar things happening.

Mr Herbert said: "We just don't know what it is.

"It was noticed on Wednesday and everyone has been trying to guess who it is. One person said it looks like Elvis Presley.

"It just appeared on the window and we don't know if it is on the inside or the outside. We don't want to touch it incase we disturb it either.

"Then on the same day, upstairs in the restaurant we noticed something weird on one of the seats. It was only a short time after we saw the face on the window.

"It was a strange triangular indent on the seat and when the housekeeper when to clean it off it just disappeared.

"Then we went back later and it was there again, so we went to get the camera, but it disappeared again. No one can explain any of this, it's very strange."

Mr Herbert added the pub has never seen anything like it before.

"No one knows who the man in the window looks like and we have not come across this kind of thing in the past."

Mr Herbert had to intervene yesterday when it appeared the face might be destroyed.

"We had the window cleaner around and I had to stop him from cleaning that window," he added.
