My husband and I decided to go for a walk to the pub on the island even though it was raining heavily on this particular May evening. <br />We arrived to an empty pub with the only occupant being a very friendly barman. This was pre the no smoking ban but the pub had already put this into place. (I am non-smoker now I must add). <br />After a while, I decided to go for a smoke and went to the barn style doors to go outside. I opened the top half easily but was struggling to open the bottom when I felt an almighty shove in my back which made me stumble forward a little. I turned to give my husband a mouthful for being impatient and saw he was still sat down at the other side of the room. The bar man was behind the bar.<br />My hair stood on end and I had goose bumps on my arm. I told the barman (who didn’t look at me as if I was a nutter) and he said I must have had an encounter with Tom ???. I can’t remember the surname he gave. He then told me of a young Tom who had been shot in the door way by the customs and excise officers a few hundred years ago. I told the lady who lived next door to our holiday rental and she gave me the same account as the barman. Is this another Tom or Tom Crocker with the story altered over the years?<br />Guest Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497891047324114176noreply@blogger.com
