PiriCo (Closed)115 Sidbury, Worcester, Worcestershire WR5 2DH When this building housed the Barley Mow pub, it was haunted by a ghost nicknamed "Fred." Michelle, the daughter of licensees George and Angela Barrett who ran the pub between the 1970s and 90s, said "Our ghost lived in a club room on the first floor. We grew quite fond of him ... He was continually opening the clubroom door and we could hear his footsteps in there even though we knew the room was empty. Things would disappear from all over the house, particularly belts and shoes. Sometimes he would move one of your possessions. There would be a comb on the dressing table, blink and it would be somewhere else. However Fred was a friendly entity and I think he was attracted to people because he looked to make his presence known." Another report says that the Fred's antics included rattling bottles and turning the gas off. |
