GHOSTLY goings on at a pub in Horbury have left the landlord and landlady shaken but not stirred after a visit by paranormal investigators.

The ghost searchers spent the night at the Bingley Arms in Horbury Bridge after reading a report about the sighting of apparitions in the 19th century building in the Wakefield Express.

Landlord Richard Tripp said he was contacted by the clairvoyant and medium team following the publishing of the article and after they had read of ghosts wandering the rooms of the modern day pub.

They produced a DVD of their night in the presence of spirits which will be viewed by customers at a date yet to be set.

He said: "We have always known of the ghostly past of the pub and have heard about taps going on and off and things going bump in the night but it’s never really bothered us and we have learned to live with it.

"Both of the ghostly investigators have been in the pub and said they had picked up all kinds of vibes from the spirits that were here.

"These have included an elderly gentleman who used to look after barges and they also picked up the presence of a lady who committed suicide on the site.

"It turns out that coroners inquests used to be heard in this building going back to the 1800s through to the early 1900s and both me and my wife, the landlady Gayle, suspect the noises that are sometimes heard are something to do with that.

"It’s all very intriguing and certainly adds to the mystery of the place. Since a woman committed suicide here there have been quite a few sightings of her by staff and customers.

"She is said to be all in white with a shroud around her head and wearing a white funeral dress. There are also lots of funny goings on in the cellar. It adds up to real spooky atmosphere."

While the paranormal team were in the pub Mr Tripp said they set up video cameras and motion detectors and he was really looking forward to viewing the DVD recording of the night."

"This building dates back to 1822 so it’s not beyond belief that there are spirits lingering here still. The team said it had captured something on the DVD recording and I can’t wait to see what it is."
