Belgrave Hall Museum, Leicester

Although the footage was initially thought to be anomalous, it was later explained as leaves caught in the light. However, this explanation doesnt account for reports of a friendly middle-aged woman in a pale dress who is said to haunt the building. Her presence is reportedly accompanied by a warm and welcoming aura.

Church, Tilton on the Hill

Tilton on the Hill is home to a church with a rather unusual legend attached to it. The story goes that the Devil himself was not too pleased about the construction of this church, and so every night he would sneak in and undo all the work that had been done during the day. It's said that this nocturnal activity continued for some time, but eventually the Devil ceased his actions - though it's unclear what motivated him to do so. Some say it was a clever ploy by the locals, while others believe it was simply a case of the Devil getting bored.
