Alfreton House, Alfreton

Alfreton House stands as a testament to the paranormal activity that can occur in even the most unexpected of places. It's here that the unexplained sound of footsteps echoes down an empty corridor, a haunting phenomenon that has left many a visitor scratching their heads. The strange noises are said to be the sound of footsteps on wooden floorboards, which is all the more puzzling given that the area is actually carpeted. This bizarre occurrence has been reported to have taken place in 2004, but the roots of this haunting are said to date back to the 1940s.

Bleaklow Mountain, Longdendale Valley

The eerie spectacle is a favourite among local ghost enthusiasts and thrill-seekers.

Mine, Shirland

Deep within the Derbyshire coalfields lies the abandoned Shirland Mine, a site of industrial heritage and paranormal intrigue. It's here that a most unsettling event took place in late October or early November 1867, one that would send shockwaves through the mining community. On this particular day, two miners made a frantic exit from the pit, their faces pale with fear. The reason behind their hasty retreat was a chilling claim - one of them had caught a glimpse of a ghostly figure, a man-shaped apparition that seemed to materialise out of the darkness.

Wingfield Manor, Wingfield

Wingfield Manor in Derbyshire is home to a rather intriguing phenomenon known as Mary's Lights. The spirit of Mary Queen of Scots seems to have a special affinity for the grand ballroom within the manor's walls. As night falls, spheres of light are often seen floating around the site, leaving many to wonder if they're connected to the ill-fated queen's ghostly presence. While some debate the origin of these lights, one thing is certain - they add an air of mystery to this already historic location.

Butterley Station railway museum, Ripley

Butterley Station railway museum in Ripley, Derbyshire, is home to a rather unusual resident. On May 6, 1991, a visitor to the museum reported seeing a dark-haired man dressed in green clothing that looked like it was from the First World War. The entity was spotted sitting in an old box coach, which is mainly used for storage due to its bad condition. What's interesting is that other people have complained of a strange atmosphere in the car, suggesting that this might not be an isolated incident.

Road from Glossop, Longdendale Valley

Deep in the Longdendale Valley, a strange encounter took place back in 1950.

He described the beast as being comparable to a whale in size, which must have been a truly terrifying sight. It's little wonder that this bizarre incident has become a lasting part of local folklore.
