For your delectation, the writing up of a very real account of a spectre seen in one of the island’s most cherished drinking establishment, the ‘Corrie’ (The Coronation Inn).
Curiously, this account of a ghost is not the only account we have of the same spectral encounter.

Some of these are what led our investigation down an altogether darker route as almost revealed in the unpublished ‘Alderney: The Devil’s Rock Vol 2’.
