The Red Rum

A similar story attaches to the Red Rum public house in Barnsley, which is believed to be haunted by the spetre of a woman thought to have died there in the last century. Doors have helpfully opened themselves for people to walk through, and cleaners and customers alike have spotted a lady in long skirts, who appears and disappears suddenly. In 1990, regular customer Wayne Clarke was about to leave the Red Rum one night, after last orders, when he was astonished to see a stranger walk through the bar.

Knowing that nobody could have entered the premises, and the doors were locked, he quickly described what he had seen to the landlady ... who confirmed that he had indeed seen the resident ghost! Wayne noticed that the woman was dressed in an old fashioned manner, in long skirts and a cap. There had been several similar sightings of the Red Rum's resident ghost over the years, though her exact identity remains a mystery.
