'Ghost' images spook staff at former Cumbrian funeral parlour

A spooky mystery is the talk of a Cumbrian town after a pub and the business next door captured ghostly images on their security cameras. In a bizarre 35-second sequence, recorded by a CCTV camera in the dead of night at The Wolfe pub in Little Dockray, a ball of light is seen descending through the ceiling, its outline pulsating as it moves around.



At one point, part of the shape appears to reach out and move rapidly just above a table as if polishing it. Suddenly, the light ball swoops upwards, disappearing through the ceiling, its topmost part momentarily assuming the likeness of a face.

The pub’s landlord, Andrew Batemen, 38, was staggered when he saw the images. He mentioned the footage to staff at the Thomas Cook travel agents next door – and found that they too had captured weird goings on their CCTV cameras.



That footage, shot exactly a week later almost to the hour, shows a computer mouse mysteriously moving across a desk in the darkness. Andrew has also been visited by a medium, who said she could sense “visitors” from the other side.
