The Leeds Central Library

Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds is haunted by a monk; he’s said to be a terrifying figure who creates a completely unsettling atmosphere. Encountered by a policeman in the early Twentieth Century, he refused to ever return to the Abbey ruins again. The alter of the Abbey is also the site of the appearance of the most unusual spectre of a ghostly stag with a young maiden tied between its antlers. The Abbey House Museum is the location of much supernatural activity, giving previous occupants many sleepless nights.

The Treasurer’s House, York
Located in the centre of the historic city of Leeds, the Treasurer’s House has a large number of ghostly inhabitants. The spirit of George Aislaby, who was killed in a duel in the Seventeenth Century, has been seen walking the corridors. The Tapestry Room has a cold and foreboding atmosphere; said to be connected with the murder of a cruel husband by his desperate wife. However the Treasurer’s House is most famous for the sightings of an entire ghostly legion of Roman soldiers marching through the cellar. Seen by more than one reliable witness on more than one occasion, this still stands as one of the most famous and compelling hauntings in the world.
