Yeovil Railway Station Buffet

The buffet at Yeovil railway station offers a variety of tasty meals and snacks for passengers travelling through the West Country. It is haunted by the ghost of a woman called Molly. The story runs that she was in service at the beginning of the twentieth century and had an affair with the lord of the manor. When she became pregnant her husband took up a gun and went after the man, but he was apprehended, tried at Dorchester Assizes and hanged for attempted murder. Molly herself committed suicide by throwing herself in front of a train atYeovil station.

Now every year during the last few weeks of September there are a variety of paranormal phenomena in the station buffet. The room regularly becomes icy cold at 10 o’clock in the morning, electrical equipment switches itself on and off of its own accord and plates are lifted off the shelves or move along the counter and fall gently to the floor, usually without breaking.

Several customers have seen this happening and a young man working in the buffet was once hit on the head by a flying plate. The disturbances build up to 10 October and then everything falls quiet again. It is presumed that this is the date of Molly’s death. Since the buffet was rewired in August 2004, the paranormal electrical activity has ceased, but plates are still being moved around whenever Molly makes her annual visit.
