East Ardsley Ghostly Apparition
East Ardsley Conservative Club in Leeds has been at the centre of a bizarre paranormal incident. In September 1993, a mysterious figure materialised by the doorway of the club and was captured on the CCTV network. What's fascinating is that this apparition was visible on camera but not to the human eye. It lingered for several minutes before vanishing into thin air. A month later, it made a brief reappearance, leaving many to wonder about its origins and purpose.
The incident occurred in a building that has been a hub for community activities for many years. Although the exact date of its construction is unclear, it's likely that the club has been standing since at least the Victorian era, given the architecture and history of the area. The ghostly figure remains unexplained, with no clear connection to any specific event or individual. The fact that it appeared on CCTV but not to human observers adds to the enigma, sparking debate about the nature of paranormal activity and its interaction with modern technology.
The club has been a part of the local community for many years.

Over Seaton Burn in Yorkshire, a rather extraordinary event took place in the skies circa 1990. Residents reported a Pterodactyl-shaped creature flying about six metres above the rooftops of houses.

Outwood Ghostly Apparition
Wooded footpath in Outwood area, Wakefield
Outwood's eerie woods have been the site of a baffling paranormal sighting. In October 2007, George Gunn was filming in the area when he captured footage of a strange, motionless figure standing on a pathway. The figure appears as a blue, misty shape, and what's even more remarkable is that two joggers can be seen passing through it, seemingly unaware of the presence. The authenticity of the footage has been debated, with some attributing it to lens flare, as suggested by BBC North Yorkshire. However, for those who have seen the footage, it's clear that something unusual was captured that day.

James Wood's Ghostly Apparition
Bond Street Shopping Centre, Leeds
Deep in the heart of Leeds, at the bustling Bond Street Shopping Centre, a rather sorry looking ghost has been spotted. In November 1977, a member of the cleaning staff caught a glimpse of James Wood, a cobbler from days gone by, in one of the loading bays. He was dressed in a muddy green jerkin and brown trousers, a far cry from the smart attire you'd expect to see in a modern shopping centre. The encounter was brief, but it left a lasting impression on the witness.
