The ghost family of The Chequers pub

April 28, 2009 by Andrew Leave a Comment

The Chequers pub on Reading Road in the Hampshire town of Eversley is believed to be haunted by up to eight different ghosts.

The pub has been the centre of haunting phenomena for some time now; lights turning themselves on, sudden cold spots and kitchen items moving. The presence of a little boy known as “Jack” has been reported by others – including the previous landlord.

Angela Turner, the landlady, told local press one story which featured a young girl who became separated from her parents. She was found in the restaurant toilets, “Her parents heard her scream and she said ‘Mummy, there has been a lady talking to me’, but there was no-one there.”

In February of this year, after local flooding, the building was closed for a six week period for refurbishment. It was during this time that Angela decided to bring in a medium to contact a séance.

The medium Chris MacGowan investigated The Chequers pub and found a total of eight ghosts. These ghosts, according to Ms MacGowan, not only know of each other but consider themselves to be something of the ghost family of The Chequers pub a family. It is believed the eldest was 93 when he died and the youngest was 10.

“They know of each other and are aware of each other,” said Chris. “They are happy there and choose to stay.

“My feeling towards it is most spirits stay because they wish to do so.”

MacGowan noted that many of the ghosts had been unpleasant people before their death but had become content and gentle spirits.  One ghost helped MacGowan trace the source of the flooding to a well now under the pub building. Another spirit introduced itself as ‘the head of the family’.
