The Sunderland pub said to be haunted by two ghosts, one quiet and the other less so

As we count down to Halloween, we’re taking a look at the pubs, clubs and other places where spirits abound.

Let’s start with one who made some scary headlines quite recently.

Two ghosts - one in the cellar and one upstairs

Four years ago, The Victoria Gardens in Hendon made the headlines when a glass was thrown off a table, despite no-one touching it.

It’s not the first time the pub ghost caused trouble, said the manager Helen Maddison at the time.

“There has been lots of ghost stories over the year as this building was a coach house before any of the houses were here.”

Strange happenings in one corner of the Victoria Gardens

"We seem to get strange things happen in the same corner of the pub.”

Chairs had inexplicably moved and there were eerie feelings of spirits down the cellar.

A day later, the pub called in local medium Suzanne Gill.

The spirit who disliked women

She said the pub had two ghosts. One was a ‘not so nice spirit’ who disliked women and had taken residence in the cellar.

The other was called Peter who lived upstairs in the pub and enjoyed being quiet.

Peter had a tendency to ‘throw glasses’ when it got too loud.
