The Old Mill Ghost Apparition
The Old Mill in Coventry has a long history of paranormal activity. One of the most reported sightings is that of a spectral woman in a long dress 'of pale colour' from the early 18th century. She's often seen walking down the spiral staircase to the main dining area, or on the ground floor and in the former mill area.
The Old Mill dates back to the early 19th century and was once a thriving industrial site. The building has been converted into a hotel, but its history still lingers in the air. The spectral woman is thought to be a residual apparition from the past, perhaps a former employee or resident who's stuck between worlds.

Ryton Bridge Ghostly Apparition
Ryton Bridge, Coventry

Locals and passersby have reported strange occurrences, including a patchy mist that seems to linger over the area, and lights that flit about, as if Wildey's restless spirit still haunts this spot.
