Misty Figure of Skipool Creek

Skipool Creek, Thornton Cleveleys

Skipool Creek is a spot where the ordinary and the unexplained seem to collide. On a crisp autumn evening in 2008, four friends pulled into the car park for a quick chat. As they gazed out of their windscreen, they caught a glimpse of a white mist, roughly the height and shape of a person, hurrying past their car at a walking pace. The misty figure was seen by three of the four witnesses, leaving them with a lasting sense of intrigue and curiosity about what they had just witnessed.

The Black Hound of Singleton

Unknown cottage, Singleton

In the quiet village of Singleton, a mysterious presence took up residence in a small cottage.

The ritual was successful, but not without consequence - the black hound was banished to under the river Wyre, only allowed to return when the river dried up. Locals have whispered about the strange occurrence for generations, wondering if the hound still roams free.
