The Malt Shovel, Shardlow

Alvaston Lane, Elvaston

Alvaston Lane in Elvaston, Derbyshire, is a spot where the ordinary and the paranormal seem to intersect.

Elvaston Castle, Elvaston

Elvaston Castle, a grand 18th-century estate nestled in the Derbyshire countryside, is home to a multitude of paranormal sightings.

She's often accompanied by a pale dog, adding to the mystique of this eerie encounter.

Gallows' Clough, Mottram

Gallows' Clough in Mottram, Derbyshire, is a spot that locals have long avoided, even in daylight. The reason for this unease is rooted in the area's grim past as a site of execution. It's said that the spirits of all the men hanged here make their presence known, resulting in a haunting that has become the stuff of local legend. The exact date of these hangings is unclear, but it's believed to be sometime in the nineteenth century. The area's dark history has led to numerous reports of paranormal activity, with many claiming to have experienced strange occurrences when near Gallows' Clough.

Unnamed cottage, Sandiacre

In the quiet village of Sandiacre, nestled in the heart of Derbyshire, a most peculiar and intriguing poltergeist case was reported in January 1964. The haunting, which took place in a small, unnamed cottage, was characterised by a series of bizarre and unexplained events that left the residents perplexed. It started with everyday items being moved around - tins were knocked off shelves and socks mysteriously relocated. However, it was the poltergeist's apparent fondness for tea that truly set this haunting apart. In one remarkable incident, the kettle was not only plugged in and turned on but also filled with just enough water to make a pot of tea.
