The Corrie sits in Alderney's small town of St Anne and is the kind of old local pub where stories collect. According to Ulysses Black and Lazarus Ravenscroft, what happened there was seen more than once, by different people, which is why they call it a very real account rather than a legend.
What the thing in the off-licence actually was, the online material does not say. The full story is in the podcast audio, and the pub's darker history is being saved for a second book that had not been published when the episode went out. This leaves the record with a named place, a claim of more than one witness, and very little else.
It is recorded here honestly as a single-source modern report from authors who openly mix folklore and imagination, and should be read with that in mind. The Coronation Inn is a working pub on the High Street.
