Plym Valley Trail, Plymouth

Plym Valley Trail is a scenic route that takes you through some of Devon's most stunning countryside. It's here, on the historic viaduct bridge, that a couple had a rather unsettling experience on a February evening in 2020. As they walked along the trail, they spotted a man standing still in the middle of the bridge, dressed in contemporary clothing. Concerned for his safety, they called out to him, but their concern quickly turned to shock as he drifted to the edge of the bridge and vanished into thin air.

Freedom Fields Hospital, Plymouth

Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth has a fascinating, if somewhat eerie, history. Back in 1976, a third-year student nurse caught a glimpse of a short man dressed in a blue uniform, hurrying down a staircase. The nurse quickly phoned security, only to be reassured that the figure was the hospital's resident ghost - a Napoleonic prisoner of war. It seems that this spectral character has been making appearances for years, leaving one to wonder about the hospital's past and the story behind this ghostly inmate.

Annabel's Cabaret and Discotheque, Plymouth

Deep in the heart of Plymouth, at Annabel's Cabaret and Discotheque, a strange and unexplained phenomenon has been reported. During the quieter times, when the music has stopped and the crowds have gone home, the sound of running feet can be heard echoing through the empty corridors. It's a bizarre and unsettling experience, and one that has left many people scratching their heads. Despite numerous attempts to find the source of the noise, it seems to appear out of nowhere and vanish just as quickly.

Bolton Cross Theatre, Brixton

The Bolton Cross Theatre in Brixton, Devon, is a hub for performing arts, but it's also home to a rather intriguing ghost story. They say that the shade of John Slater, a talented actor, has been spotted here, dressed in the costume from his final show. It's a bit of a sad tale, really - Slater performed at this very theatre one of the last times before he passed away, and his spirit seems to have lingered. People claim to have seen him wandering around, still in character, as if the curtain never fell.
