The Fountain Inn in Tenbury has a history of paranormal activity, blamed on the mischievous spirit of Mr. Thombs, a former landlord who met his untimely demise due to smoke inhalation during a fire at the pub. His love for his dogs was admirable, but it's said that he delayed his own escape to ensure they were safe, and now his playful nature continues to cause trouble in the form of objects being moved of their own accord.

The Fountain Inn has been a hub of activity since its early days, with stories of Mr. Thombs' pranks and antics being passed down through generations. It's not known for certain when the haunting began, but it's believed to date back to the time of the fire that claimed his life. The locals have grown accustomed to the strange occurrences, but visitors often report feeling a sense of unease or seeing objects moved inexplicably.
