The Knife & Cleaver Entity
Poltergeist • Unknown
An unknown supernatural entity at The Knife & Cleaver demonstrated its presence through poltergeist activity, manipulating a reservations diary and manifesting a disembodied hand that appeared over a startled barman's shoulder.
The Story
As he approached to investigate this impossible occurrence, the situation escalated dramatically when a strange, disembodied hand materialized over his shoulder. The phantom appendage appeared briefly but clearly enough to terrify the witness, who immediately fled the area.
This type of activity suggests either an intelligent haunting capable of complex interaction with the physical world, or poltergeist phenomena often associated with emotional energy or historical trauma. The entity's ability to both manipulate objects and partially manifest physically indicates a powerful supernatural presence.
Historical Evidence
The incident is formally documented in the Paranormal Database for Bedfordshire, lending official credibility to the account. The specific details - spontaneous page turning followed by a hand manifestation - are consistent with well-documented poltergeist phenomena.
