Old Courthouse and Jail, Leicester

This person felt an intense oppressive feeling while in the courtroom, as if they were a prisoner on trial.

Asfordby Rectory, Asfordby

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.
