Here's an interesting ghost story from The Coach House Inn, Northgate Street, Chester, formerly known as The Coach and Horses Hotel, the event described below took place in 1988. A room was booked and paid for in cash by an elderly gentleman who had been drinking in the hotel bar, he said he was going to take a walk around the city walls before retiring but never returned. The barmaid who'd taken the booking was concerned for the man's safety as he had told her that his wife had recently died and that he really didn't want to go back to his own house, so the police were called. The police checked the address the gentleman had given to the hotel but was told by neighbours that both the man and his wife had died some eight years previously. A ghost who is able to purchase drinks and pay for a room with real, not ghostly, money! Is this possible?
