'Haunted table' of The Black Horse Inn, Nuthurst, West Sussex

Over the years, local people have observed pints of beer and other objects sliding across this table without human agency. Even though the table has a slight downward slant towards the window, it is not enough to generate slide. Local knowledge has it that this was the table at which, many years ago, regularly sat a man who could see the Old Post Office, opposite, to observe his wife visiting her lover, the postmaster, whom he subsequently murdered and buried in St Leonard's Forest. The spirit of the murderer has since haunted a table in this position, still watching over the post office for the appearance of his wife.

 

This image is from a Flickr album for the The Blackhorse Inn at the village of Nuthurst, near Horsham, West Sussex, England. The pub, apart from being very good for food, is one of the most haunted in Sussex. Its paranormal entities include a murderer who moves glasses and other objects across a particular table; the feral 'Black Hound of Nuthurst' who is sighted on the aptly named Black Hound Weir at the rear of the pub; 'Nuthurst Ned' whose ghost late at night stamps and snorts in the street outside; and a young woman whose apparition appears at an upstairs window. Full descriptions of this and the other album images can be found here: Black Horse Inn photos
