Staff at the pub were left baffled after discovering framed photographs of a mystery man scattered around the premises.
Workers at Bath’s Boom Battle bar were left scratching their heads when they found a photograph of an unknown man randomly hidden in their pub.
They were further confused when they received a second impression that led them to open an “investigation.”
After a desperate call to social media asking for help from the public and customers, the mystery gradually unraveled: it all had to do with a bachelor party.
Taking matters into her own hands, assistant manager Jenna Sharp, 21, filmed a video asking: ‘If you’re not the person who’s been leaving random men’s photo frames around our premises, keep browsing.’

Fans theorized about who the mystery man was.
Showing two photographs, one of a man sitting cross-legged in sportswear and the other of a man eating, he added: “Who is this? I just found a second photograph of what we first called Photobooth Phil.
“We still have no idea who he is. We just found this guy. If there are any more pictures at our location that aren’t of Photobooth Phil or Floor Phil, please let me know.”
He then issued a challenge to his audience.
‘If you’re the person who’s been leaving picture frames at our store and there are only two, I challenge you to leave one more.’
And pointing to the back of one of the frames he added: ‘This time leave something behind for us because we want something.
‘Anything.’
The hilarious video was posted last month and received 12,000 likes and dozens of comments and shares as many were shocked by the situation.

Dozens of photographs of the man nicknamed ‘Photo Booth Phil’ have been left around Bath.
In a comical update earlier this month, Jenna shared the news that more photos had been left at other Bath pubs, which she had collected. Phil, the photographer, appears in the photo.
One person, who calls herself Agatha Christie, wrote: “I hope 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 exposing himself but not leaving any traces or any way to track him down.’
A fourth follower added: ‘Photobooth Phil’s kitchen in the background looks exactly like the ones they put in the Riverside development.’

Jenna said: ‘We have a wall of memories behind our reception. One of the staff members went to take a photo that was on the wall and I noticed something – the first photo ever taken in our photo booth, hence the name Photobooth Phil.
‘We do a lot of stag and hen parties. One guy came along who was a stag and he brought a bunch of pictures of himself and scattered them around the pub. And we weren’t the only pub.
‘After the video was posted, many other venues and even security guards made comments.
‘A security guard explained the inside story: When she checked the bag, she saw all the photographs – there were about 20 in total.
‘She and another security guard have a competition about what’s the most interesting thing they can find on a Saturday night.’
