A pub landlord has taken out insurance against ghosts following fears the resident poltergeist could hurt customers.

Terry Meggs, of the Royal Falcon Hotel, in Lowestoft, Suffolk, decided he needed the cover after claiming he saw the ghost shoot glasses along the bar one night.

For a premium of £500 a year the policy will pay out up to £1m if staff or customers are killed or suffer permanent disability caused by ghosts, poltergeists or other abnormal phenomena on the premises.

The 500-year-old building, which is next to a disused graveyard, is one of the oldest in Lowestoft and was formerly Eastholme Girls School.



I saw glasses move across the bar one night, and thought, what happens if it does something to hurt somebody
