SPOOKY video shows the moment a glass mysteriously topples off a tray at a restaurant - which the owner blames on a resident GHOST.

The short clip taken from CCTV shows staff chatting at the bar when the tumbler falls from a black tray on the bar.

No one else appears to be near the glasses at the time in New York Italian Kitchen in Wakefield, West Yorks.

Owner Shaun Deakin said it is not the first time ghostly goings-on have been reported since the restaurant opened three months ago.

He said: "Ever since we did the fit out, there's been a few unusual things going on, all in one area.

"There's champagne glasses in the bar and one day, six of them just came flying out.

"We kind of ignored it but then there was another incident when a member of staff was walking with a tray of glasses.

"He said he felt like someone smashed the tray from underneath and the glasses went everywhere.

"We have radios that we use between the front of house and kitchen, with screw dials on top. One day, a staff member went to pick the radio up and the screw at the top was missing.

"As they were looking for it, it was pushed out in front of them.

"The footage we caught on Saturday was the first time we have got anything on camera.

"A glass slipped from the middle of the tray and rotated in the air before landing on the edge of the bar.

"It should really have just rolled off the side and smashed but it didn't. It stopped and seemed to be pushed back again.

"I personally am quite sceptical of things like this but there's no explanation.

"It's a bit creepy and some of the staff have been quite scared."

Since sharing the footage on their Facebook page, Shaun said he has been approached by a paranormal group who plan to search for signs of spirits this week.
