The Oxford pub, The Priory, is one of the growing number of pubs to step forward with tales of haunting for the press. Writing for the Oxford Mail, Emily Allen documents everything from a headless horseman to the slightly more usual scratching and tappings. The Priory was once home to an order of Benedictine nuns but is now run by Tim Rackley as a local watering hole. In 2004 and 2005 archaeologists found the skeletal remains of several children. Mr Rackley admits it was a bad year for the pub, not only did his dog Snoop keep on bringing bones into the pub but the number of incidents was higher than usual.
