Lesson 47 A thirsty ghost
嗜酒的鬼魂
What evidence is there of a ghost ?
A public house which was recently bought by Mr
. Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr
. Thompson is goi
ng to sell it because it is haunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he
heard a strange noise coming from the bar
. The next morning, he found that the doors had been b
locked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr
. Thompson had turned the lights of
f before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty
whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some vil
lagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr
. Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told h
im that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.
