English pub owner says ghost of dead drinker is haunting his business: Incidents have 'spooked people out'
Former patron named Dave is trying to 'pinch people's drinks,' says pub owner
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The landlord of Coniston Tavern in Nuneaton, England, says his pub is haunted by the ghost of a dead drinker.
Two reportedly unexplained occurrences have been captured on security video (SEE the video above this article to witness several events).
The ghost allegedly knocks customers' pints over and was even caught making a glass explode, according to news service SWNS.

On April 24, CCTV video recorded at lunchtime "shows a workman … chatting with two pals at a table," SWNS reported.
Suddenly, the half-drunk glass of beer seems to explode, "showering the hapless punter in lager and shards of glass," it notes.

Four months earlier, another customer was sitting at the same table when his pint glass "mysteriously slid onto the floor," said SWNS.
Landlord Andy Gadsby believes the pub is haunted by a former tenant named Dave — who apparently used to live in the apartment above the bar.

"Apparently a tenant called Dave lived in the flat above the pub and one night he drank a bottle of brandy and had a heart attack and died," he continued.
"Maybe his spirit is around the pub and he’s desperately trying to pinch people’s drinks," Gadsby added.

"One of the customers looked pretty wet with lager and he said the pint exploded in front of him," Gadsby told the news service.

"If that had happened you wouldn’t expect it to explode, and he’d already drank half the drink, so the glass was clearly cold," he added.

"He sat down at the same table and his pint looked like it’d been pushed onto the floor," he added.
