Pub staff have been left bamboozled after finding framed photographs of a mystery man stashed around the establishment.
Workers at Boom Battle Bar in Bath were baffled when they found a print of an unknown man.
When a second turned up, they took to social media to launch an ‘investigation’.

Looking straight to camera, deputy manager Jenna Sharp, 21, said: “If you’re not the person that’s been leaving picture frames of random men in our venue, keep scrolling.”
Holding up two photos, one showing a man sitting cross-legged in fitness gear and the other of a man eating, she added:“Who is this? I’ve just found a second picture of what we first dubbed Photobooth Phil.
“We still have no idea who is this.
“We have just found this man. If there are more photographs in our venue that aren’t Photobooth Phil or Floor Phil please let me know.”
She then set a challenge for her audience.

“If you are the person who’s been leaving photo frames in our venue and it is only two, I challenge you to leave one more.”
And pointing to the back of one of the frames she added: “This time leave something on the back for us because we want something.
“Just anything.”

The amusing video was posted last month (28 Jun) and has received 11,900 likes and dozens of comments and shares as many were left tickled by the situation.
Agatha Christie wrote: “I’m hoping the universe brings me back [for the update].”
Someone else said: “We need to protect him at all costs.”
A third user commented: “Maybe he’s single and it’s him putting himself out there but leaving no traces or anyway to track him down.”
A fourth follower added: “Photobooth Phil’s kitchen in the background looks exactly like the ones they put in at the Riverside development.”
In a comical update earlier this month (5 July) Jenna shared the news that further photos had been left in other pubs across Bath, which she has collected.
However, the mystery has finally been solved, as seen on What’s The Jam.
Jenna said: “We have a memorabilia wall behind our reception.
“One of the staff went to take a picture that was on the wall and I noticed something – the first picture taken in our photobooth, hence the name Photobooth Phil.
“We host a lot of stag and hen do packages. A stag do came in and brought a number of pictures of the stag and scattered them around the bar.
“And we weren’t the only pub.
“After posting the video, I had multiple other venues, even security guards, commenting.
“One lady from security explained the inside story – when she did a bag search, she saw all the pictures – there were about 20 in all.
“She and another security guard have a competition on what’s the most interesting thing they can find on a Saturday night.”
