Milbourne Place, North Shields

Milbourne Place in North Shields is home to a rather unsettling presence - the ghost of a sailor who met a tragic end. They say he was murdered by his own parents, who failed to recognise their son after years at sea and killed him for his money. Now, his spirit roams the area near the docks, but not as a vengeful ghost - instead, he's said to appear as a large black dog, a creature known as a Shuck. This eerie canine is believed to patrol the spot where the crime was committed, a haunting reminder of the sailor's untimely demise.
