The Old Man And The Keg

This story comes from somewhere in the UK and was sent in by Sebastian. That’s all I really know about it. I have given this story the title The Old Man And The Keg.

Greetings Ron’s Amazing Stories. I have a tale for you and your listeners that I want to share. I hope that you find it as amazing as the many stories you share with us. Back in 1997 my wife and I were working as relief management for a brewery. We would live and work in whichever pub we were sent to, usually covering holidays or filling gaps between tenants.

Whilst staying in one pub, my wife and I noticed odd things happening. We would walk into a room and I would feel that something had moved or odd noises. We both laughed this off at first. Then beer taps would stop working. I would assume the keg was empty and I would head to the cellar to change the keg, only to find it full and that the gas had been shut off. Also, things like the keg mallets would vanish or the cap keys would go missing – only to find them somewhere else later on.

One night, after closing the pub, my wife was in the bar and I went upstairs. I had heard footsteps, and was thinking a customer was still in the pub and was in our private quarters. I unlocked the door and saw a man in brown trousers, with a cream striped shirt. He had his sleeves rolled up and he looked like he was carrying something up the stairs.

I shouted at him and followed. Reaching the top of the stairs I searched the rooms and there was nobody there. In fact there was nobody else in the pub. I immediately went cold and then felt fear burn through my body like a surge. Thinking about it now I can picture the scene perfectly and it still makes me feel uncomfortable.

The next night I described him to a group of regular customers at the pub, more than one couple told me it was the old landlord from years ago, they even described the clothes he was wearing. They said that he lived for the place and the neighborhood. He would walk around the area watching for trouble and helping those in need.

Most people I’ve told either laugh or say I imagined it. People who believe tend to then tell me about their experiences. On the whole I don’t tell people as it makes me feel silly at times. The experience changed me from being a complete skeptic to now being open minded. I still tell myself I don’t believe in ghosts, but I also think there is a lot that we don’t understand about this world. There is no other explanation to what happened. I’ve thought about it for such a long time and came to the conclusion that I saw a ghost. – Sebastian

I think you saw one too, Sebastian. It is a pretty cut and dried story. Also, you do have the bulk of the neighbors confirming it. I want to thank you for sharing it with us! And for the record it is amazing!

News – August 22, 2023

The news this week is that my mother has been released from the hospital and has returned home. As you may already know, three weeks ago she fell and broke her hip. She is 97 years old. Her recovery is nothing short of a miracle! She still has a long road for a full recovery, and I am hopeful for the first time. Because of this I will be playing a full-hour episode of an episode of The Screen Directors Playhouse on the podcast this week. Thank you all for your prayers and support.

– Ron
