As a special treat for readers of my blog –
An article I wrote about the stories of hauntings at The Common Man runs in the paper today. The restaurant which was once the house of Matthew Thornton and his wife Hannah Jack has a long and distinguished history of semi-regular “weird happenings” occurring over the years.
There is the sighting of a small boy ghost by a fire fighter, a woman dressed in old clothing seen walking across a balcony and unexplained whispers and bumps in the night.
On Sunday Marc and I went to the restaurant to get some photos for the story.
Imagine our surprise when we got home, downloaded the photos and realized that we had had captured a ghost from The Common Man in the pictures.
You have to look carefully but if you do, I’m sure that this photo – destined to go down in history – stands as irrefutable proof that ghosts inhabit the restaurant.
