The Lady in Black Apparition
The Adam's Building, now part of New College Nottingham, is said to be haunted by a phantom elderly woman dressed in black clothing. She has been spotted walking the upper floors of the building, leaving many to wonder about her identity and the reason behind her ghostly appearances. The building's history dates back to the 1960s, which is when reports of the Lady in Black first started to emerge.
Historically, the Adam's Building was a factory, and it's possible that the Lady in Black may have been a former employee or someone connected to the building in a significant way. Although there aren't many details about her, the fact that she has been seen by multiple people over the years suggests that her presence is more than just a one-off sighting. The Lady in Black is often described as a visual manifestation, and some witnesses have reported hearing strange noises or experiencing unexplained phenomena in her presence.
