Council house on Netherhall Estate, Leicester

On the Netherhall Estate in Leicester, a rather bizarre haunting was reported back in 1991.

The liquid was described as 'silky' to the touch, adding to the strange nature of the occurrence. It's not hard to imagine the confusion and perhaps even a bit of fear that came with witnessing such an event.

Sysonby Lodge in Melton Mowbray is home to a rather intriguing ghostly presence. A workman claimed to have seen a woman enter the reception area of the Institute of Package, located within the lodge, before walking through a wall. This phantom, considered benevolent, seems to have a few quirks. It appears to have a strong dislike for plastic flowers, which would often be knocked off surfaces, and it has a fondness for the scent of freesias, which would waft through the staircase.

Asfordby Rectory, Asfordby

Asfordby Rectory in Leicestershire was once home to a mischievous poltergeist that developed a peculiar habit of pulling people's bedcovers off them as they slept at night. This strange entity didn't discriminate, targeting both residents and visitors alike, including the Vicar of Whetstone who was unfortunate enough to experience its antics firsthand. The locals must have been quite unsettled by the spirit's nocturnal activities, but thankfully, the resident reverend, F A Gage Hall, took it upon himself to tackle the problem and exorcise the noisy spirit in 1913.
