Shurland Hotel Ghost Video: Not What It Seems

Shurland Hotel Ghost Video: Not What It Seems

Kentonline.co.uk has posted a recent CCTV video that supposedly shows the paranormal activity of the house ghost in full action. According to staff at the Shurland Hotel, banging on walls, disembodied footsteps and apparitions of the ghost of  a little girl are seen all too often in the pub. But what really got them irked was the recent CCTV footage of the pub which supposedly shows the poltergeist in action.

From the CCTV footage we see a customer already sitting on a table with a cold drink. We then see a customer walk in and within seconds, the untouched beverage is seen sliding off the table and crashing down on the floor. Nobody apparently was touching it. If someone was to tell you the stories of the pub and then present the following video to you, you’d probably be perplexed and freaked out a bit. Well, maybe not for GhostTheory.com readers:

 

 

But of course this is GhostTheory, so we don’t really think that there are ghosts pushing beer mugs off tables now do we?

About a year ago, I was sent a CCTV footage in which the same “paranormal activity” was said to be caught on tape. I think we all ruled that one out as just a customer placing down their cold drink on the smooth surface of the table. Placing it on top of spilled water or alcohol will give the glass the friction-less surface it needs to glide on. Couple that with the customer just walking in, swinging the door open and you have yourself poltergeist activity caught on tape.

Strange occurrences have been reported over the years by staff, customers and guests staying at the Shurland Hotel.

Now, one of the spooky incidents at the Eastchurch venue has finally been caught on film.

Staff got a fright when a full pint glass flew off one of the tables and smashed on the floor as they sat talking about the issue of suicide.

Desperate to prove it wasn’t a prank, they begged owner Steven Haynes to check the bar’s CCTV.

The recording of the event, which happened at 10.36am on Friday , can now be viewed on YouTube.

Mr Haynes, who took over the hotel in March 2009, said: “It is 100 per cent genuine.

“I wasn’t there, but when I came down they were like ‘quick, quick look at the camera’. When I did, I thought ‘Wow, that’s quite impressive’.”

The 33-year-old and his partner, Sam Banks, have set up a blog entitled the Shurland Hotel Ghost Blog so they can start logging any supernatural activity. “So much stuff happens here,” said Mr Haynes.

“We’ve had banging on the walls and footsteps across the roof but nobody’s there.

“We live in the flat at the top [of the hotel] and Sam’s woken up before and seen a little girl aged about seven or eight just standing at the foot of the bed.

“We also have a touch lamp in our bedroom that turns on randomly – so much so that we’ve now unplugged it.

“A guy who was building a dental lab in Eastchurch stayed at the hotel for about eight weeks and said one day his bedroom door opened at about 7am and someone peered in, he jumped out of bed but nobody was there.

“We used to keep toilet rolls at the top of the cellar stairs. One day, one of our barmen was walking past and one came out of the door and hit him and the other went down the stairs, that happened about three times.

“There’s also been times when I’ve turned off the cellar light, then gone round the corner and then gone back to find the light is back on.”
