mrknish Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The bodybag thing is absolutely true. When i used to work at the Hallamshire we helped develop 'serious incident' strategies with security advisors at Meadowhall. They have hundreds of bodybags. Fact.

purplepippa Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 That Ranmoor (Univ of Shef) halls of residence was built based on the design of a Swedish women's prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplepippa Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The Sheffield University Arts Tower was only built to last 10 / 20 / 30 years (and presumably collapse on to Bolsover / Winter Street the next day). Ah I'd forgotten the Arts Tower myths... That no fire engines in South Yorkshire are tall enough to put out a fire in there That it's sinking by an inch a year That the architecture students got the top floor because they are architects and must thus take the blame for the place!

mymiyel Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 apparantly the road that run under the "outibridge" - devil's bridge is the Stocksbridge Bypass which is rumoured to be haunted and spooks out drivers - plus has had many an accident on there!! I read about the Stocksbridge Bypass being haunted in one of them crap books that are always on sale in cheap bookshops. How come no-one's mentioned the ghost that apparently lives in the cellar or next to the toilet of the Carbrook Hall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besteastern Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Do your history swine cottage was on the site of your ground This is true, Swine Cottage is listed on old maps. It was the site of a small piggery. But was not on the site where Hillsboro is now, but close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbrook hall is reported to have at least 3 ghosts which are well documented over a long period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIbbo Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 This is true, Swine Cottage is listed on old maps. It was the site of a small piggery. But was not on the site where Hillsboro is now, but close. Actually, thats the urban myth. There is no Swine Cottage listen on any old maps. Its made up by the blades :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treatment Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 ...and if you go "over the top" in the paternoster, it turns you upside down. That myth started in the late 1960's when a girl in, I think Newcastle, got minced in their Paternoster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
