Wellington Inn Preston – John Alderson’s Poltergeist Rage

John Alderson doesn’t sip quietly at the Wellington Inn. He throws glasses.

Preston’s most haunted pub shakes beds, smashes CDs, drains batteries. The former landlord returns angry. His favorite alehouse holds him.

The Throwing Poltergeist

Glasses leap from secure shelves. Corkscrews whip through air. CDs sail across empty bar. CCTV catches motion—nothing visible launches them.

Landlords flee. One woke to bed vibrating violently. Dogs growl at empty bedrooms, refuse cellars. Electricals surge, die.

John targets bar area. His domain. Till trays fly during quiet hours. Lancashire Evening Post documented chaos.

Bed-Shaking Terror

Landlord’s bedroom worst. Mattress lifts, drops. Sleepers feel weight shift beside them. No human culprit.

Why beds? John died frustrated, ale unfinished. Restless sleep mirrors his.

Investigators capture phenomena: Vibrations register on seismographs. No natural tremors correlate.

CCTV Captures Chaos

Cameras show glasses arcing from empty bar. Shadows flicker before impacts. Audio catches growls, male voice fragments.

Power surges corrupt footage. Batteries drain mid-recording. Pattern matches poltergeist classics.

Paranormal Research Team Lancashire concluded no hoax. Medium identified John Alderson.

John Alderson’s Backstory

Loved his pub. Regular till death. Died mid-drink legend claims. Refuses to leave.

Preston history fuels him. Industrial town, hard drinkers. Pub stood through plagues, bombs. John’s spirit strongest.

Modern Evidence Mounts

2022 staff filmed corkscrew circling midair. 2024 customer felt push down stairs—CCTV showed empty landing.

Dogs track invisible presence. Cellar door slams unaided. Mirrors crack spontaneously.

DeadLive approach:

• Multiple CCTV angles

• Seismographs on beds

• Spirit box sessions naming John

• Historical records cross-check

Investigation Goldmine

Active poltergeist demands physical evidence. Predictable bar focus enables controlled tests. CCTV history provides baseline.

Multiple witnesses across decades confirm consistency. No financial motive detected.

We would love to investigate this location, but right now we are running events at Lark Lane Liverpool, Mayer Hall Wirral, Penrhyn Old Hall, Coffee House Wavertree, Transport Museum Manchester.
