Ten Ghosts of England – Durham
The Video that I did for this can be found by clicking this link - Ghosts of England Ep 11 - Durham
No 1 – Two Lovers
This is a rather sad story of love and loss, Emma and Edward, two Inn Keepers children that fell in love, only for things to end tragically, Edward died of fever, whilst Emma, heart broken from losing Edward died shortly after. They are both regular visitors to the Ancient Unicorn Inn located in Bowes.
No 2 – The Tall Man
A plumber supposedly fled the Marquis of Granby public house in Byers Green after witnessesing a bar stool move across the floor by itself, perhaps it was the spirit of a Tall Man that has been reported to haunt the former building.
No 3 – Black Shape
During a 16 year period, from 1947 – 1963, a family in their home in Thornely reported that on many occasions they encountered a black shape, that would often be accompanied by a bad feeling, what the entity was was never determined, the family growing sick of the strange happenings informed their Local Vicar, who came to the property to pray, the Shape never returned.
No 4– Murder by Monks
Lady Lumley, also known as Lily of Lumley was murdered by some monks after she refused to agree to their religious beliefs, Sir Ralph discovered what had happened to his wife and had the monks executed. Lady Lumleys spirit is said to walk the corridors of Lumley Castle, while the monks can be seen in the surrounding areas of the building.
No 5 – Annie
The Former occupier of a home in Washington never really left, Annie has appeared to new occupiers of the building on many occasions, the most terrifying being at night when the witness was a sleep, they awoke to find an elderly lady standing over them in the bedroom, she is describe to have grey hair done up in a bun, and will be wearing an apron, it was the neighbour that matched the description to Annie, a lady that lived in the house, many years before.
No 6 – Singing Lady
In areas around the Cauldron Snout Waterfall in River Tees, the spirit of a young Lady can be heard singing to herself, it is believed she was a local farm girl that committed suicide after a relationship with a local miner came to an end.
No 7 – Man in a Bowler Hat.
I'm sure most of us at one point or another had that feeling whilst walking up or down the stairs, that perhaps something wasn't quite right, you would feel as though some one was stood behind you, watching you on the stairs, I say this as the next report is of a spirit of a man that wears a bowler hat, that has been seen on many occasions stood at the bottom of the stairs in a private residence in Rowlands Gill. The property is also haunted by unexplainable bangs and items being moved around as if by themselves.
No 8 – Shadows
A gripping report of a family that moved out of their house in Shotton Colliery after witnessing their pet dog chase a shadow out of the living room and up the stairs, I don't think their actions were unjustified, I'd have done the same thing, the sounds of horse hooves was also supposed to have been heard within the property.
No 9 – Poltergeist
During 1969 – 1975, a private home in Malvern Gardens in Dunston was the haunting ground of a poltergeist who's mischief caused a lot of problems for one family, as reports of the activity involve a bed lifting by itself, a christmas tree spinning around so fast that ornaments came flying off and cupboard doors opening and closing, one man collapsed after witnesses a ghostly entity walk towards him, I don't blame him, though I probably would have been out of the house a long time before that.
No 10 – Young Woman
On the 26th of Febr 2011, an inmate reported seeing a woman standing by the window of the cell, a prison guard informed the prisoner that a woman had killed them selves in the exact spot that the inmate had claimed to have seen the entity.
