Blackpool Ghostly Sister

Residence in the FY2 0 area, Blackpool, Lancashire Unknown Modern

In a quiet neighbourhood of Blackpool, a tenant had a shocking experience that left him shaken. He claimed to have encountered the ghost of his neighbour's dead sister in the property. The tenant was so convinced of the paranormal activity that he requested the council rehouse him. He even provided photographs of the entity as evidence, although the council were able to reproduce the images using a 'ghost app'. This unusual case raises questions about the nature of the encounter and the validity of the evidence.

The incident reportedly took place around 2016 and was covered in the local press. While the details of the case are scarce, it is clear that the tenant was genuinely disturbed by his experience. The fact that the council were able to reproduce the images using a 'ghost app' adds a layer of complexity to the case, suggesting that the evidence may not be entirely conclusive. Nevertheless, the case remains a fascinating example of reported paranormal activity in a residential setting.

Phantom Old Tram Bispham

Tram station, Bispham

Bispham Tram Station is a hub of paranormal activity, with reports of a ghostly old tram making an appearance at 02:30h every morning. The tram is said to travel along the tracks to the station, but on the night of the investigation by Spirits and Sinners, the team didn't actually see the tram. However, their electrical equipment started to malfunction, and they did spot a strange light that illuminated a display teddy bear. It's unclear what the connection is between the tram and the teddy bear, but it's certainly an unusual and intriguing phenomenon.

The Green Face of Carleton

Carleton Crematorium, Blackpool

Carleton Crematorium stands on the outskirts of Blackpool, a place of quiet reflection for those who have lost loved ones. But it's also a spot where the veil between worlds seems to be at its thinnest. In 1936, a taxi driver named Harry Hodges was taking a fare to this very crematorium when he spotted something that made his blood run cold. As he pulled up outside the gates, a green face with long dark hair and sunken eyes appeared, moving across the front windscreen of his taxi. Harry's passenger was so frightened that she screamed and ran off, leaving Harry to wonder if he'd really seen what he thought he had.

Cleveleys Poltergeist Bottles

Cleveleys Hotel, Cleveleys

Cleveleys Hotel in Lancashire was the scene of a bizarre poltergeist activity in July 1952. A bottle of beer suddenly lifted off a work surface, moved and dropped to the floor in front of around a dozen staff. Over the next three days, other bottles and glasses would fall from shelves, with one witness claiming he watched bottles of beer sequentially jump out of their crate and smash on the floor. The incident was investigated by the police and a barmaid eventually admitted to causing the activity, although her confession didnt entirely match up with all the witness accounts.
