The mug flying - how do you know it wasn't knocked somehow? I'm not being a skeptic for the sake of it, but that's the kind of thing that has a physical explanation 99% of the time.

Which pub were you heading to? I was in the Printworks around that time and didn't see anything. Have you checked if there were any military exercises on?
Could check if anyone died in the house? Victorian semis in Harrogate often have some history. Look up the property history - you might find something.

Right, so I'm not usually one to post these things, but I've had about 15 messages from mates asking if I saw it too.

Could be a spirit presence, could be your brain playing tricks - hard to say without seeing it myself. But the fact that it's increasing in frequency is worth noting.

I had something similar in my old flat in Hackney. Turned out to be a mouse running behind the skirting board. The pattern of movement was always just at the edge of my vision.
The movement description is interesting - the "bouncing" thing comes up in a lot of Spring-heeled Jack accounts.

If there's no explanation after structural checks and you're certain about what you witnessed, contact a paranormal investigator.

That's classic peripheral vision stuff, mate. Our brains are wired to detect movement in our peripheral vision because of predator instinct - it's why you always think you see things out of the...

This is going to sound absolutely bonkers but I need to write it down before I convince myself it didn't happen.

You're not embarrassing yourself mate. You saw something you couldn't explain, you reported it factually without assuming it was paranormal. That's exactly what this forum is for.
Before you do anything paranormal, get a structural survey. Settling Victorian properties make all sorts of sounds. Scratching could be settling, groaning pipes, etc.

My parents live in a Victorian semi in Harrogate and over the last six weeks, genuinely bizarre things have been happening.
Can we talk about the poltergeist reports from before Price got involved though? Those are actually interesting.

That said - Peckham has a lot of odd sightings reported on the regional groups. Not necessarily supernatural but unusual stuff gets reported there regularly.
Why do we accept these stories about Culloden when we'd laugh at identical claims about, say, Waterloo?Because Waterloo has proper military records and wasn't culturally traumatic in the same way?

The interesting thing nobody talks about is the US involvement. Those were US Air Force personnel on a British base.
Local people have different stories than tourists though. The families who live nearby talk about things they've experienced that don't make it onto TripAdvisor.

Either: A) It was something genuinely unexplained and we're being kept in the dark for "national security" B) It was something embarrassing and they're protecting an institution's reputation C)...

The Underground is architecturally unsettling - it's beneath the earth, artificial lighting, always the same temperature, no natural way-finding.
