An urban legend focused on three pubs in the
country town of Taunton, the Plough, the Alehouse and the Crown and Sceptre, where a number of boozers and chancers are
said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The idea of the area as uniquely prone to disappearances arose in the
early 21st century, but most reputable sources dismiss the idea that there is any mystery. In recent years many Tauntonians have challenged themselves to try and safely navigate a pint in each pub.
