Harper Avenue, Burton upon Trent

In the quiet streets of Burton upon Trent, a strange encounter took place one afternoon in the 1950s. A teenage lad was walking home when he greeted Mr Dykes, a neighbour who was leaning on his gate. What made this encounter remarkable was that Mr Dykes returned the greeting, addressing the lad by his first name - something that had never happened before. The teenager didn't think much of it at the time, but when he reached his house, just two doors away from Mr Dykes' residence, his mother broke the news that Mr Dykes had passed away that very morning.

Derelict site along Shobnall Street, Burton upon Trent

Shobnall Street in Burton upon Trent was once home to a derelict site that has since been transformed into a housing estate. But back in July 2004, it was a place of eerie occurrences. Two young boys, feeling adventurous, slipped into the abandoned site after the firm that previously occupied it had closed up and moved away. On their first visit, they were met with an unsettling atmosphere - they heard footsteps and couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. Their second visit was even more intense. In another building on the site, they heard the sounds of machinery and hammering, but there was no one in sight.
