Explore the enduring fascination with ghost stories and supernatural phenomena. From tragic events to haunted castles, our region is filled with spooky tales that captivate Halloween fans. Discover the stories of the Black Lady and the Grey Lady, two famous ghosts that still roam our area.
Here the Weekend team shines a spotlight on the fascination with ghost stories and shares their own views on all things supernatural.
There have been reports of The Black Lady walking nearby, either heard softly whimpering in sadness, or laughing gently in remembrance of happier times. The roof collapsed over platform 3, crushing a local councillor and his carriage. A shadowy figure is said to have been seen haunting the entrance to Castle Street from this platform.
Once, when this happened, a female member of staff on duty noticed a tall, dark silhouette in the doorway. On further investigation, she discovered she was the only person on that floor. As an avid reader, it didn’t take me long to find the guest book after we arrived at the former vicarage for a weekend stay.
I delayed going to bed as long as possible on that first night because my bedroom was the furthest away from the living room where my parents and grandparents were relaxing. For example, while on a trip to British Columbia in Canada, I bought a book of ghost stories written by a local author. This has not changed, but last year my mind was, shall we say, opened a little further than it had been.
I’ll not lie, when stood in a dark circle encouraging any lost souls to come forward, the hairs on the back of my neck were a’tingling. It just so happened they looked similar and this new arrival liked sitting in the same spot as the sadly deceased one.So, if I did spot a real ghost, I’d be out of the door faster than Usain Bolt.
