The Story
HauntedPlaces.org tells of Bertha Starkey, a woman supposedly killed by her husband and now associated with the pub. After closing, witnesses report cries and footsteps, while candles allegedly ignite or go out without help. One especially specific tale concerns a heavy glass shelf that shattered on the anniversary attached to Bertha’s death. Murder account is folklore, not verified history.
