Anything will be appreciated. Also does anyone remember about 10 years ago on Radio Lancashire there used to be a local guy reading out local ghost stories some of which he investigated. I think it used to be on about 9 o clock pm. Does anyone know his name?

Well it seems like scareys been scared off?:D

Albion Mill in Blackburn, i used to train there 4 - 5 times a week up until it got demolished.

On friday nights we would stay late for a few games of paintball and i can tell you that the place was haunted.

If you PM me ill give all you all the details, but that place was creepy.

I lived in a 300 year old cottage in Altham and that too was haunted. There were stories that when the RAF were stationed in Clayton Hall, the pilots were complaining about the ghosts.

Various people who walked by the cottage would also mention seeing ghosts etc.

A certain house I used to live in on Christchurch Street, very odd goings on there, seen by a good few people and heard by me!:eek:

When I was a teenager a group of us sneaked into the odean cinema on Broadway when it was boarded up ready to be demolished. I can tell you now we did not stay in there long someone or something was throwing stones/bricks pieces of metal at us, freaky stuff. Of course afterwards the logical thing to think was that it was caused by the condition of the building, so I am surprised to think other people believe it was haunted.

That'd be the ghost of old Edie, an usherette killed under an avalanche of confectionary, in the nineteen thirties, when the floorboards in the kiosk mysteriously gave way.

Not too sure I would dismiss the Odeon stories, the Boots in Acc is built on that patch and there were some strange goings on when I worked there! Also when I worked in the Arndale loads of staff from various shops had tales to tell about shadows, noises, alarms triggering, mainly from what is now New Look (was Dixons or Currys), H Samuels, Our Price and the card place opposite what was Our Price. We deffo had something strange going on at OP!:eek:

Most of that site had been vacant from when they built Broadway, it was used as a barrage baloon site during WW2, then it became a car park, when the built the foundations for the Arndale they culverted the river Hyndburn, happen it was noises from under there when it was raining heavy. As for ghosts and stuff, father Christmas is as real.

Exactly Retlaw. There'a a simple explanation for this. Piccy's of the various culverts under Accy are to be found elsewhere on this site; all that's needed is a build up of waste and/or a heavy flood storm in them and you're going to get all sorts of echoing strange noises and even slight vibrations in the structures above.

There is a logical explanation for everything, should one care to look.
