The White Terrier of Gedling House

Gedling House, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire Apparition Mid-20th Century

Gedling House in Nottingham has a rather curious reputation for being haunted by the ghost of a small white dog, often referred to as a terrier. This little hound has been spotted by not one but two separate witnesses, and on one memorable occasion, it was accompanied by an elderly woman who was using a walking stick. What's intriguing is that other people have reported hearing the sound of this lady walking around, her stick tapping away on the ground, even when she's not visible.

Digging into the history of Gedling House, it's clear that these sightings and sounds were documented during the 1940s to 1960s. While we don't have a wealth of information on the house's past, it's interesting to consider whether the ghostly terrier and its elderly companion might be connected to former residents or events. The fact that multiple witnesses have experienced these phenomena lends credibility to the accounts, and it's certainly a story that captures the imagination.

Flying Glasses Poltergeist

Ferry Inn Inn, Nottingham

The Ferry Inn in Wilford, Nottingham, was once home to a mischievous poltergeist. This wasn't your average ghostly encounter - the spirit had a peculiar fondness for glasses. Patrons and staff alike would watch in amazement as the glasses would slide around on the bar, creating a ruckus. It got to the point where an exorcist was called in to try and put an end to the paranormal activity. The glasses would seemingly move of their own accord, and loud banging noises were also reported. It's not hard to imagine the surprise and unease this caused for those who worked and socialised at the Ferry Inn during the 1980s.
