The Irish culture is laden with tales of spirits and the supernatural.

In Coeur d'Alene, Kelly's Irish Pub has its own version of spooky stories about a presence that has proven to be a pesky poltergeist.

Just three weeks ago, a clock in the kitchen came off the wall and hit pub co-owner Meg Sullivan in the head.

"Here’s the clock,” Sullivan said Friday, standing about 3 feet to the left and a counter's width from the timepiece in question. "It hits me right here on the top of my head, and I’m like, ‘What?!’ It was weird."

Another incident involves a loaf of bread that hit a former cook in the head.

"I’ve had bread fly off of the shelf," Sullivan said. "And I’ve seen it, when it just flies off and hits them in the head"/Devin Heilman, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
