Roundhay Park, Leeds

Roundhay Park in Leeds is home to a legend that has been whispered about for years - the Black Hound, a large demonic dog said to roam the grounds. While many parks in Yorkshire claim to have similar sightings, the one in Roundhay has a particularly intriguing story. In 2019, a photograph was published by the local press, supposedly showing the entity, but it was later speculated that it was just a dog being walked by its owner. Still, the image sparked a flurry of interest in the paranormal community, and many began to wonder if there was truth to the tales of the Black Hound.

York Road near Killingbeck, Leeds

On a summer morning in the mid 1990s, around 04:30h, two car occupants had a rather unsettling encounter on York Road near Killingbeck. They spotted an armoured figure riding a horse, making its way towards Killingbeck. The witnesses were left wondering if this was a 'real' person heading towards the Royal Armouries Museum, which is located in the area. The image of an armoured rider on horseback is quite an unusual sight, especially at that time of day.

Vicarage, Whitkirk

The vicarage in Whitkirk, a suburb of Leeds, is home to a rather unusual ghostly presence. It's said that the sound of footsteps echoes through the halls, much like someone is walking across flagstones. This strange occurrence might be connected to a ghostly dog that's also been spotted in the premises. Imagine hearing the creaks and groans of an old house, only to be startled by the sound of footsteps seemingly coming from nowhere.

Town Hall, Leeds

Deep beneath the bustling streets of Leeds, in the historic Town Hall, lies a small prison cell known as the Bridewell. This is where Charlie Peace was held while awaiting his trial for a heinous double murder. His time in this cell was short-lived, as he was later executed for his crimes. But it's said that Peace's restless spirit didn't leave with him - his ghost is rumoured to remain within these very walls, trapped in the cell where his fate was sealed.

Former Second World War Air Force Base, Lindholme

Lindholme's former airbase is said to be haunted by the ghost of a Polish airman known as Pete the Pole or Lindholme Willie. This phantom pilot is believed to have died in a crash landing at the base during World War II. In the years following his death, Pete reportedly made several appearances at the airbase. One of the earliest reported sightings was in November 1957 when a misty shape was seen walking along the runway before vanishing into thin air. Years later, in 1977, an Air Traffic Assistant spotted a shuffling figure crossing the parade square, which disappeared into the shadows by a sealed door.

Former Second World War Air Force Base, Lindholme

Imagine walking across a deserted airfield at night, the only sound being the crunch of gravel beneath your feet. That's what happened to two friends at Lindholme Airfield in 1962. As they strolled across the empty runways, they noticed a strange light flickering in the control tower. It was a peculiar sight, especially since they knew the building was supposed to be empty. Their curiosity piqued, they cautiously approached a nearby hangar, and that's when things took a strange turn. The sounds of activity suddenly surrounded them - the creaking of hangar doors, the roar of aircraft engines starting up, and the patter of many pairs of feet running by, yet there was nothing to see.
