I found this story and it reminded me of several different episodes of MH when Derek says there is the remains of someone burried within the building.
I've always wanted to know if the owners ever investigated it further.
Anyway, here's the article...
The Wheatsheaf pub in West Boldon, England had a history of ghostly activity: chairs and utensils moving about of their own accord, and even an occasional shove of the pub’s staff by unseen hands. Psychic Suzanne Hadwin came to investigate as part of a psychic charity event and got more than she bargained for. She said she sensed as many as 37 spirits in the pub, but in particular tuned in to the ghost of a six-year-old girl named Jessica Ann Hargreaves.
Hadwin said little Jessica told her she had been raped and strangled to death in 1908, and her body stuffed in the pub’s fireplace; she said her body was still in the pub. Now a psychic can tell any story and it can be difficult to verify it. However, in this case, a bit of digging was done in the wall where the pub’s old fireplace used to be. Sure enough, a lock of hair, a heel of a shoe and fragments of clothing from a little girl were found – just where Jessica’s ghost said they would be.
