Subway, Ouija Boards and Seances

A few years ago the photo below has a message to customers and staff at the Subway in Galway, Ireland.

The sign says: "Ouija boards and seances are not allowed to be performed in this shop, haunt your own house".

Apparently the store manager believed there was something paranormal in the Subway building.

"The building is from the 1600s and we (the staff) believe there is a ghost on the third floor. I had to put this sign up to stop any curious staff from attracting any other ghosts," she said.
