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.

King Edward Place, Burton upon Trent

King Edward Place in Burton upon Trent is usually a peaceful spot, but on one evening in April 2012, it was the epicentre of a strange occurrence. Two experienced bell ringers, familiar with every bell in town, were astonished to hear an unfamiliar ringing sound coming from the direction of the Audi supermarket. The sound was distinct from the nearby town hall clock and the bells of Saint Modwens church, which occasionally echo through the area. What made this sound even more remarkable was that it seemed to match the note depth of a heavy bell from the long-demolished Holy Trinity church, which once stood on the site where the supermarket now stands.

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.
