Robed Figure Haunting
In the heart of Gloucester, on Westgate Street, lies the showroom of Anglian Windows, a hub of paranormal activity. A robed figure has been spotted here, accompanied by poltergeist activity that has left witnesses perplexed. One remarkable incident involved a roll of carpet levitating, a sighting that has become a talking point among those who claim to have experienced the strange occurrences. This showroom, a place where customers would normally expect to browse and purchase windows and doors, has instead become a hotspot for ghostly encounters.
The events at Anglian Windows date back to 1988, a time when the business was already established in the area. While there's limited information on the history of the building itself, the reports of a robed man and unexplained activity suggest a possible connection to the town's rich history. Gloucester has a long history dating back to Roman times, and it's not uncommon for towns with such heritage to have ghostly legends. The robed figure and levitating carpet are just a couple of examples of the bizarre events that have been documented here, leaving many to wonder about the story behind these hauntings.
The building has been in use since at least the late 20th century
