Off coast, Trusthorpe

Off the coast of Trusthorpe in Lincolnshire a strange sighting was reported back in the late 1930s. A boy claimed to have seen a large snake-like creature a few hundred metres out to sea. The creature was described as being quite substantial in size but not much else is known about the encounter. The fact that it was seen in the water makes it difficult to determine exactly what it was but it's certainly an intriguing story that has been passed down.

Manor House, Saltfleet

The Manor House in Saltfleet, Lincolnshire, is said to be haunted by the ghost of Jane Hardy, a young woman who met a tragic end. According to local folklore, Jane married Robert Fox, the son of the lord of the manor, in 1673. But their happiness was short-lived, as Robert's darker side soon emerged. He murdered Jane, and in a bizarre twist, her ghost was blamed for a missing piglet discovered in a sealed room. It's said that Jane's spirit was so restless that it took the blame for the misfortune.

St Botolph's Church, Skidbrooke

St Botolph's Church in Skidbrooke, Lincolnshire, is home to a rather intriguing haunting. The church is said to be haunted by phantom monks, a presence that has captured the imagination of many. In the summer of 2003, this eerie phenomenon was reportedly experienced by numerous individuals. Although the Bassetlaw Ghost Research Group did not encounter anyone who had previously lived a monastic lifestyle when they visited in 2004, they did manage to capture some compelling evidence. Their night vision cameras picked up flying 'rods', which were likely insects but still a fascinating find.

Unnamed field in the area, Beelsby

Dressed in their distinctive red caps, they are a sight to behold, but their presence is also a reminder of the field's mysterious past.

Grange Farm, Louth

Grange Farm in Louth, Lincolnshire, is a place where the ordinary and the unexplained collide. It's here that the Ghostbusters UK team was called in to investigate a series of bizarre occurrences that had left the farm's occupants on edge. Phantom footsteps echoed through the halls, cold spots sent chills down people's spines, and an oppressive atmosphere hung heavy in the air. This wasn't just a case of a few isolated incidents; the atmosphere was so intense that it caused several accidents on the site. It was as if the very presence of something malevolent was waiting to pounce.

Old railway line by the level crossing, Grimoldby

Grimoldby's rural landscape was the backdrop for a bizarre encounter on a chilly November evening in 1961. A lone witness, walking back to the nearby RAF base after a visit to the local chip shop, witnessed a steam engine hauling a coal wagon and three coaches pass by the level crossing. The train was eerily silent, its only illumination a dim glow from the fire on the footplate, as it sped by in total darkness. The witness's reaction was one of confusion and curiosity, but when they mentioned the incident back at the base, they were met with scepticism - the railway track had been pulled up, they were told, and they must have been dreaming. The following morning, the witness visited the site and was shocked to find that the track was indeed gone.
