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.
