roughywitch Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Am new to Sheff and I am a pagan /wiccan. I am interested in finding any good sites for hauntings to investigate. If anyone could clue me into a few it would be appreciated. Thank you Roughy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The alms houses. Forgemasters. The Stocksbridge bypass are all said to be very haunted. Ive worked at all of these places and saw nothing but many people have had bad experiences there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damkina Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi roughy, You might try the Montgomery Hall on Surrey St, that theatre is definitely haunted. Include the back stage and dressing rooms, so you might like to try for permission to take a tour. Boots chemist on the bottom of Fargate used to be connected via tunnels to various buildings on the High Street years ago before the subway that was once there and then the tram was built... their cellers are said to still have a visitor now and again. The Carbrook Hall across from Toys R Us at Carbrook is also 'definitely' haunted as I used to play in there with my childhood friend. I also had another encounter with its resident spirit a couple of years back also... They have a website that you could log onto to read about the pub, but it is much better to visit; in fact, get there at 12-noon and have lunch. The landlord Phil used to have an Hallowe'en event that you might want to ask about... to see if it still takes place. There is a local book available that lists many of Sheffield ghosts with an description and historical background; I can't remember the author, but I've got a copy somewhere. I'll try and find it to let you know, unless someone else can help. Hope this helps your research. Please let us know how you get on.

Jossman Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Try for permission to tour the Clocktower at the Northern General Hospital. This has a reputation of sightings from it's days as a workhouse. The Ship Inn on Shalesmoore is reputed to have a very haunted cellar. My mate Cyril had it for many years and his wifes jewellery often disappeared, only to resurface weeks later, somewhere entirely different to where it was left.
