Car park by the Mill House Public House, Belper

The Mill House Public House in Belper is home to a rather eerie sighting.

The car park, often used by patrons of the pub, seems an unlikely place for such a ghostly apparition, yet that's exactly what was seen.

This strange occurrence has been happening for an unknown period of time, thought to be seasonal, but always at the same time - 21:00h. A farmer, understandably frustrated with the persistent footsteps, took matters into his own hands and waited by the door with a shotgun, but was never able to see the cause of the sound.

Manor House, Belper

In the sleepy town of Belper, nestled in the heart of Derbyshire, stands a manor house with a dark and sinister reputation. It's said that back in the 1940s, a woman staying here woke up to an unbearable pressure on her neck, as if an unseen force was trying to constrict her. The air was thick with the sound of heavy breathing, but when she looked around, she was alone, bathed in the pale light of the moon. It was as if a phantom presence had invaded her personal space, leaving her shaken and frightened.

Butterley Station railway museum, Ripley
