Hyson Green, Nottingham

In the Hyson Green area of Nottingham, a rather unusual and intriguing poltergeist activity was reported back in the 1950s and 60s. The phenomenon centred around a bed in a household, where one occupant would be kept awake night after night by the violent shaking of their bed's headboard. It was as if an unseen force was determined to disrupt their sleep. Interestingly, the activity would cease for the evening when the occupant would say they needed to sleep, suggesting some sort of strange, unspoken understanding between the presence and the person being disturbed.

St Matthew's Vicarage, Nottingham

St Matthew's Vicarage on Talbot Street in Nottingham was once home to some very unusual occurrences. Canon Thomas Boys Barraclough Ferris lived there between 1883 and 1907, and it was during this time that he started to hear strange noises - footsteps and other unexplainable sounds. It wasn't long before he caught a glimpse of a ghostly figure wearing a grey gown, which would later be referred to as the Black Lady. The apparition was seen by other members of the household too, but it seems that the entity's visits came to an end when Ferris moved on.

He was ironing, just like he did every day when he was alive. The child's parents were oblivious to this encounter, but when their little one mentioned it to them, they were shocked. The reason for their shock was that the house had only recently been put on the market following the death of its owner, a man who was known to do his ironing in that very hallway.
