Firth Park, Sheffield

Firth Park in Sheffield has a reputation for being a bit of an odd place and one evening a mother and daughter stumbled upon something that has become a famous local ghost story. They were walking home when they spotted what looked like a new chip shop - it was open, the lights were on, and there were people inside. They must have thought it was a great new addition to the area because a couple of nights later they decided to go back and try it out. But when they returned, the chip shop had vanished. In its place stood a large DIY shop, twice the size of the chip shop they had seen.
