The Crown, Sedgley

A previous landlord, known as Bob, allegedly haunts The Crown. He died in the cellar from a heart attack many years ago. Dogs are prone to behaving strangely when Bob is about and on one occasion a previous landlord found himself locked in his own bedroom even though he was on his own.

One of the cleaners claims to have seen Bob in the area around the toilets but he seems to make his presence felt mainly in the cellar where barrels can be heard being moved about when there is no one down there. On one occasion, two draymen delivering barrels of beer had the shock of their lives when they were told the man who had been ordering them around down in the cellar was none other than the long deceased Bob.
