house

by

Mr.

Ian

Thompson

is

sale.

Mr.

Thompson

is

going

to

sell

it

because

it

is

haunted.

He

told

me

that

he

could

not

go

to

sleep

one

night

because

he

heard

a

strange

noise

coming

from

the

bar.

The

next

morning,

he

found

that

the

doors

had

been

blocked

by

chairs

and

the

furniture

had

been

moved.

Though

Mr.

Thompson

had

turned

the

lights

off

before

he

went

to

bed,

they

were

on

in

the

morning.

He

also

said

that

he

had

found

five

empty

whisky

bottles

which

the

ghost

must

have

drunk

the

night

before.

When

I

suggested

that

some

villagers

must

have

come

in

for

a

free

drink,

Mr.

Thompson

shook

his

head.

The

villagers

have

told

him

that

they

will

not

accept

the

pub

even

if

he

gives

it

away.
