Highfield Park, Newbold

Highfield Park in Newbold was the scene of a bizarre and unsettling encounter on a summer's day in 2014. A dog walker was strolling through the park when they noticed something strange in the distance. At first it was about the size of a beach ball but it quickly began to grow, and before long it had expanded into a large white face with a wide mouth and eyes. The face was so sudden and unexpected that it's little wonder the dog walker was shocked. The face dashed forward and then vanished as suddenly as it appeared. The walker and their dog were so traumatised by the experience that they refused to return to the park for several months.

Sun Inn Inn, Chesterfield

Deep in the heart of Chesterfield, the historic Sun Inn stands as a testament to the town's rich history. It's here, in the locked cellar of this 18th-century inn, that a series of bizarre occurrences took place one November night in 1957. Bottles were smashed and barrels moved around, causing quite a stir among the staff. The culprit behind this vandalism was blamed on a ghostly coachman, whose murdered body was allegedly thrown down a well in the cellar centuries ago. The eerie atmosphere was further intensified by the sound of footsteps echoing through the inn, as if the ghostly coachman was still roaming the premises.

Rosehill House, Chesterfield

Rosehill House in Chesterfield was once the site of a rather unusual and persistent haunting. The large house was subjected to the continuous ringing of any bell on site back in the 1830s. It got to the point where the occupier eventually tired of the strange phenomenon and moved out. No one would take up residence after his departure, which is hardly surprising given the unexplained clanging of bells that seemed to occur of its own accord.

Williamthorpe Colliery, Chesterfield

Deep within the abandoned tunnels of Williamthorpe Colliery, a chilling encounter took place in the early 1960s.
