Revellers in Cheltenham reportedly spotted a sickening sight in the town over the weekend, as a severed 'goats head' was left on the pavement outside a popular pub.

One shocked passer-by was walking along Bath Road in Cheltenham, when they witnessed the goat head lying on the pavement.

They said: "It was about 10.30pm Saturday night and the goat head was just on the path outside Wetherspoon, everyone was just acting like normal.

"We did go past Sunday morning but it was gone."

The disgusting image reveals the animal's head on the pavement, but that is not the end of the unusual circumstances surrounding what happened to the rest of the goat.

They added: "My friend also said there was someone in a nun costume who dropped it out of a duffel bag and ran off."

A spokesman for Wetherspoon said: "Pub management at The Moon Under Water were aware of the incident, although it did not take place on the premises, occurring on the pavement outside.

"The identity of the culprit and motive are unknown."
