Welcome to The Local Haunt, a series set in Grenadier, the most haunted pub in London.
Meet our eternally grumpy specter—a 19th-century soldier trapped in limbo, forced to haunt the creaking cellars and shadowy corners of his “beloved” pub. When rookie bartender Thuy ventures into the cellar for wine, she awakens more than dusty bottles: a sarcastic, centuries-old ghost who’s thrilled to rant about modern life (“Women marrying women? Dogs in my pub?!”).
From phantom whispers to possessed lovers and bar brawls that echo his own violent end, this ghost’s tale is a chilling cocktail of tragic history, spine-tingling scares, and social changes in the world we live in.
But beware—he’s not just here to tell stories. He’s here to remind you that some souls never move on… and they’re very opinionated about your “progress.”
Pour a stiff drink and listen closely—the walls of The Grenadier have screams (and sarcasm) to spare. If you dare.
Written and produced by Melusi Ncala, Thuy Dong, Mokshika Sharma, and Jackie Imas.
