Does the White lion still Roar?

Does anybody (the older people might) remember the white lion? My mother grew up there and it was haunted

Brewery Tap

When my mum was young she worked at Walkers on South St its now the brewery tap or something like that. It's supposed to be haunted by a man called the umbrella man people have reported seeing him at the bottom of the stairs, my mum says she was terrified when she was told to get something out of the attic room,

Bridge Inn

I had a brush with what i thought was a ghost near the Bridge Inn on Awsworth road, I was returning home from a night out with my girlfriend at the time and I saw a shadow cross the street, could make out a face so I ran to place where I saw it cross, it was nowhere to be seen

Bulls Head Pub

My mum. and dad knew Huey and Phyllis who were landlords of The bulls head in the 70s. The landlord told them he had gone in the cellar and heard a swishing sound and saw a ghost of a bride, he said he couldn't see any feet,it was like she was floating.

This is true as told to mum

Bulls Head
I’ve only been in the Bulls head once. Whilst there I kept feeling a cold draft on my hand and face and got the feeling like I was sat in someone’s seat!

The General Havelock pub

I lived in the flat upstairs several years ago, whilst it was unused as a pub. I always felt that there was something not right about the place, particularly down in the cellar. Hated going down there, to read meters, etc. Most uncomfortable feeling living alone in there at times. It was only 2 or 3 years after moving out I read about the place, on here.
