A POLTERGEIS­T which is said to terrorise a pub has been caught on film.

Ghostbuste­r Andrew Williamson revealed he “sensed the presence” of a woman.

The 54-year-old took a photograph and later found her ghostly form looming on the snap.

Andrew said he sensed an entity as he set up his equipment in The Griffin ® pub in Wakefield, West Yorks. He added: “It is a woman. She never gave her name, she was saying nothing to nobody. I just knew that there was an entity there.

“The pub has a history of things happening when the place is closed up at night, which show up on CCTV but not what is causing them.

“There are regular things that happen in the night, like glasses falling off a shelf and bottles falling on the floor when no-one is in.”

The youth worker, from Wakefield, claims he can feel ghostly presences and uses his paranormal ability to photograph the unknown.

Landlord Michael Briggs, 29, was not surprised by the picture and says he has heard rumours of a woman haunting the bar for years.

He added: “I have heard lots of stories and rumours about this pub – it is quite old.

“I have seen glasses flying off shelves on their own and so on.

“There have been plenty of spooky goings-on here. We have a lot of regulars who have been coming here for years and years so they have seen some stuff.

“The stories worried me at first but it all adds to the charm and character of the place.”
