The Fleece Inn in Carlisle carries a current, actively told reputation among the city's haunted pubs for physically dramatic disturbance rather than any single, quiet apparition of the kind reported at many comparably old buildings elsewhere in this collection: objects reported flying without any visible cause, glasses shattering outright on their own, and, in the fuller and more developed accounts, full-figure apparitions seen directly by both staff and guests alike, appearing in both the working bar area and in the pub's own guest rooms upstairs.
No specific date, witness name, or documented history connecting this activity to any particular event in the building's own past has been traced for this entry, and, as with several other Carlisle pub-ghost stories gathered throughout this collection, the exact building being referred to across different retellings is not always precisely and consistently fixed, some accounts describing slightly different details that suggest genuine confusion or blending between similar local stories over time.
It is recorded here honestly as a current, thinly sourced local pub tradition, notable mainly for how physically active and disruptive its claimed activity is compared to the quieter, more atmospheric hauntings that make up the majority of this collection, even without any of the firmer historical anchoring that grounds some of Carlisle's other, better-documented haunted sites.
