EDINGBURGH
A SPOOKY restaurant in the Capital has called in a medium so diners can be left in peace.

Staff at the Grain Store restaurant on Victoria Street have been plagued by strange noises late at night and have had complaints from customers about ghostly experiences in the dining room.

Kitchen pans were moved about and visitors claimed a spirit was living in the toilet. Restaurateur Paul McPhail decided to take the unusual step of consulting a psychic.

Kimba Syng was called in to check out the spooky goings-on and claimed there were three ghosts living in the 200-year-old building.

"We had one waitress who couldn’t be there on her own because she could feel there was someone else in the building," said Mr McPhail. "We also had a customer who was sitting having dinner with her husband. When he left the table to go to the toilet, she felt something pulling her towards the wall."

Ms Syng, 42, spoke to two men and a woman - who she says all died more than 100 years ago.

"There was one man who I don’t think was a very nice person, another who was very friendly and a woman who lives in the bathrooms and just wants to keep the toilets clean," she said.

"I don’t think any of them mean any harm. I asked them to stay away when the restaurant is open so as not to scare the customers"
