таверна Ye Old Shambles

A poltergeist of some of the inhabitants (which personally never encountered) is perceived as a playful Ghost that is sure something doing (almost funny): throws and drops objects, breaking dishes, lights and turns off the light, and so on. In reality, it refers to the actions of the ghostly guests who are starting to establish close contact with our material world, and the poltergeist in any case has nothing to do with jokes or a game – it is rather a danger, a certain aggression on the part of the subtle world.

Not to mention the fact that to observe such tricks on the part of the Ghost is not very nice, even if they don't cause much harm. This opinion about the poltergeist bartender Luke Smithson (Smithson Luke), working in the old tavern Ye Old Shambles that is both the pride and the mysterious attraction of the city of York, County of North Yorkshire, England.

About seven o'clock in the morning the first day of July of this year, Luke, as usual, were preparing for another reception, which, fortunately, at this time the tavern was not yet. And just then, something amazing happens and in some degree dangerous: from the top shelf suddenly begin to fall "by themselves" and falling down objects – boxes, loudspeaker and so on. Here's how it described itself bartender:

I was just about to put the final touches in cleaning, and this time from the top shelf fell down things, as if someone had dropped out. Some unknown force did it quickly and pretty aggressively. And if not for a surveillance camera, I could hardly believe it.

Although this old tavern did not have time to notice the manifestation of paranormality: the mysterious footsteps and the sounds of an empty and closed rooms, disembodied shadows, often visible in his peripheral vision, and so much more. All this is not particularly worried about employees drinking establishments, and visitors to Ye Old Shambles, on the contrary, this mystery, is in principle completely harmless, only attracted thrill-seekers.

Today's incident was just further confirmation of that in the old tavern live in the shadow of the restless souls, moreover, it seems that among them there was a real "bully", which is definitely similar to a poltergeist. Well, time will show it was an accident or now have to wait and the following outrages on the part of the violent ghosts?.

Original news

Everything seemed normal when Luke Smithson arrived for work this morning.

But things soon took a paranormal turn.

Luke is bar supervisor at the Shambles Tavern, and was in early to clean the beer lines.

And then at around 7.20am today (Monday 1 July) this happened – as captured on the bar’s CCTV:

Luke told YorkMix:

I was just about to do my second line clean. I walked around the bar and suddenly everything just flew from the shelves.

All the boxes flew all over the bar. A couple of glasses came off as well.

There was proper force behind it – even the speaker on the top shelf was knocked down.

Spooky footsteps

Ghosts welcome… Ye Old Shambles Tavern

To be fair, Luke, 23, reacted with commendable calm.

‘There’s a ghost in the loo!’ Woman grabbed by spooky hand in York café toilets

We would have vaulted the bar and dived through the window, but apart from a small jump, he took the strange occurrence in his stride.

“To be honest, I was more annoyed that I would have to clean it up!” he said.

As a “firm believer” in ghosts, Luke thinks that a poltergeist could be an explanation. He said it couldn’t have been a gust of wind as “the doors were all shut. I was the only one in the building”.

And the old building could well be haunted. Luke and other staff have heard mysterious bumps and footsteps, and psychics have sensed a ‘presence’.

“There was a butcher’s family here that went in the early 1900s that we have always thought were still here,” Luke said.

And it is not the only ghostly experience on Shambles in recent years. We reported how a visitor to the Earl Grey Tea Rooms was grabbed by a spirit in the loo.

The poltergeist activity in Shambles Tavern is not Luke’s first experience of the paranormal. “I’ve had different experiences,” he said. “But never seen anything like that before.”
