Park along Grove Road, Burbage

Imagine stumbling upon a mysterious glowing ball hovering above a quiet park in Burbage, Leicestershire. That's exactly what six young people experienced on a night in 1998. Initially, they thought it was the searchlight from a police helicopter, but as they watched, they realised there was no sound of rotor blades. The ball just hung there, glowing, for five minutes before suddenly shooting upwards and vanishing into thin air. It's a sighting that has left many questions unanswered.

Grass next to St Peter's Churchyard, Aston Flamville

In the quiet village of Aston Flamville, a strange and unexplained sighting has been reported near St Peter's Churchyard. A male phantom, materialising only from the torso upwards, was seen by a witness in the passenger seat of a passing car back in the 1980s. The apparition's sudden appearance must have been quite a shock for the witness, who was simply driving by this rural spot. What makes this sighting even more intriguing is the lack of any obvious connection to the local church or its surroundings.

Churchyard, Hinckley

In the quiet town of Hinckley, Leicestershire, a small churchyard holds a rather unsettling secret. The grave of Richard Smith, a young man brutally murdered by an army recruiting sergeant in 1727, is said to bleed on certain dates. Every year on April 12th, or when the first green shoots appear on the poplar trees, the gravestone starts to leak a reddish liquid, eerily resembling blood. This bizarre phenomenon has been observed for centuries, sparking both fascination and unease among locals and visitors alike.

The Talbot Public House, Leicester

The Talbot Public House on Thurcaston Road in Leicester seems like an ordinary pub at first glance but it's home to a number of ghostly residents. A young child is often seen sitting on a bar stool, looking as though they're waiting for a parent to return. Then there's a phantom woman who vanishes into the wall, leaving patrons wondering if they really did see her. An old man in a large raincoat walks towards the bar before disappearing into thin air. And if you venture into the car park, you might catch a glimpse of some shadowy figures lurking about.

Michael's Plaice fish & chip shop, Measham

In the heart of Measham, a small Leicestershire village, lies the site of a former fish and chip shop that's steeped in paranormal history. Michael's Plaice, as it was once known, was a popular spot for locals to grab a quick bite. But behind the scenes, something strange was brewing. The owner, fed up with the unexplained occurrences, called in Spirit Team UK to investigate. They weren't disappointed. The team captured evidence of ghostly dark figures and poltergeist activity that left everyone baffled.

Exact area not known, Stanton

Deep in Leicestershire's countryside, near the village of Stanton, a bizarre incident took place in the early 2000s. Two friends were out and about when they spotted a low-flying circular object moving across the sky towards them. As it approached, they noticed two small flashing lights on the side of the craft that grew in intensity until the glare became blinding. The witnesses shielded their eyes to avoid the light; as they did so the object made a strange sound and disappeared - no trace could be seen in the sky.
