Amherst Stores in St Peter Port has a reputation for being one of the most intriguing locations for paranormal activity on the Channel Islands. Back in the 1970s, a cashier working at the store witnessed a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothing walk into the shop and disappear from view as she moved down an aisle. The cashier grew concerned and tried to locate the woman but she had vanished into thin air with no apparent way to have left the store. This bizarre incident left the cashier perplexed and wondering if she had really seen what she thought she had.

Fast forward to the 1980s and the strange occurrences at Amherst Stores took a different turn. A group of people started to hear wailing or howling sounds while in the store but only when they were together. This unsettling audio phenomenon was specific to this group and was not experienced by everyone. The fact that these strange events were limited to specific periods and witnesses adds to the enigma of Amherst Stores. Although the store is no longer in operation it remains a fascinating case for those interested in the paranormal history of the Channel Islands.
