What evidence is there of a ghost?
A public house which was recently bought by Mr.Ian Thompson is up for sale. Mr.Thompson is going to sell it because it is haunted. He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr.Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning. He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, Mr.Thompson shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.

嗜酒的鬼魂
伊恩.湯普森先生最近才買的一個小酒店現(xiàn)在又要賣出去。湯普森先生之所以想賣它,是因為那里常鬧鬼。他告訴我有天夜里他怎么也睡不著,因為他聽到酒吧里傳來一陣奇怪的響聲。第二天早上,他發(fā)現(xiàn)酒吧間的門被椅子堵上了,家具也被挪動過。雖然湯普森臨睡覺時把燈關(guān)了,但早晨燈卻都亮著。他還說他發(fā)現(xiàn)了5只空的威士忌瓶子,肯定是鬼魂昨天晚上喝的。當我暗示說一定是村里有些人來喝不花錢的酒時,湯普森先生搖了搖頭。村里的人已經(jīng)告訴他,即使他把小酒店白送人,他們也不要。
