A ghost that has haunted an old pub for several years in Bolton, England has been kidnapped… and if that’s not enough, the owners are accusing a Chinese artist – Lu Pingyuan – for stealing it. The pub owners are demanding the return of the ghost, after Lu published on his website that he captured it in “a symbolic act in reaction to the UK’s colonialist past”.
