The Roman centurion manifests most frequently in the bar area and near the entrance, appearing as a translucent figure in distinctive Roman military dress including the characteristic lorica segmentata armour and centurion's helmet with its distinctive transverse crest. Witnesses describe seeing only his upper torso, with his legs presumably below the modern floor level, walking through what would have been the original Roman street surface nearly two metres below the current ground level. The apparition moves with purpose, as if continuing an inspection patrol along the ancient walls, occasionally pausing as if listening or watching for threats that existed two millennia ago. One particularly detailed account describes the centurion appearing near closing time, his ghostly form casting no reflection in the pub's mirrors yet creating a noticeable drop in temperature that sent staff reaching for additional layers. The mysterious elderly woman presents a different type of haunting entirely, appearing most commonly in doorways leading to the older sections of the building, particularly areas that would have been part of the original medieval structure. She is described as wearing period clothing that suggests the Victorian era, with witnesses noting her formal dress and severe expression before she vanishes the moment anyone attempts direct eye contact. This figure appears exclusively in reflective surfaces – mirrors behind the bar, window glass, or polished brass fixtures – leading to the unsettling experience of staff members addressing what they believe to be a customer only to turn and find empty space. The building's electronic equipment seems particularly susceptible to paranormal influence, with the sound system activating during closed hours, lights flickering in patterns that defy electrical explanation, and the till occasionally opening without any apparent cause. The most consistently reported phenomenon involves a specific bar stool near the window that rattles persistently at approximately 4:23 AM, a time that staff have learned to anticipate. This precise timing has led some to speculate about its connection to Roman military schedules, with the changing of the guard traditionally occurring at specific intervals throughout the night. Paranormal investigators have documented unexplained electromagnetic field fluctuations and temperature drops of up to ten degrees Celsius in areas where the centurion has been sighted, whilst electronic voice phenomena recordings have allegedly captured what sounds like marching footsteps and muffled Latin commands.
