STAGS HEAD ;Wolverhampton-STAGS HEAD
Vicarage Road
Penn Common
Wolverhampton
Staffordshire
In December, 1972, Harold Irwin confirmed that his pub was definitely haunted. `We are happy family` he said, `my wife, children and myself, and a lady in white`. The lady he referred to was a ghost once seen by his daughter, Christine, sitting on a beer barrel in a corner of the bar lounge. The fact that several customers have also witnessed the lady strengthened the claim. She is seen to be wearing a demure Victorian gown, rather out of place perhaps under the circumstances, but nevertheless her appearance is fitting for, according to the local belief, she is the wife of a vicar who was keen on `nipping out for a pint between sermons`. But the vicar and his wife in this case must be rather eccentric characters for in the strict moral environment of Victorian prudery, for then a lady to be seen in a bar was `really beyond the pale` and to be accompanied by a clergyman as well, it must have caused a lot of embarrassment back then. Why the lady haunts the place is a mystery but as she did in life so in death one assumes, though what happened to the vicar, one wonders?
