There is no better time for a ghost story than at Halloween - and Nottingham has a fair few sinister stories of its own. Several of the eerie locations are easy, and free, to visit if you are feeling particularly brave, just don't say we didn't warn you.
It is unknown if this is the same woman who has been viewed wandering around the gates of the church wearing all white as if looking for something....or someone. The laughter and ghostly figure in white could potentially be attributed to William Saville who murdered his wife and two children before being hanged for the crime in 1844.
The cellars in the pub were originally part of the castle cell system where overflow prisoners were kept. There could be as many as 30 to 40 prisoners in the cellars and rumour has it you can still see the nail marks on the walls. Visitors to the Trip have reported all sorts of ghostly noises including voices and groans coming from the cellar in particular.
George's Hill / Calverton Road George's Hill is an area which, according to folklore, there have been mysterious reports of a figure wearing all black. According to historic reports, the figure was seen wearing a large hat, covering all features except a large, hooked nose, and a silver chain. As the story goes, Mr Bardhill reported the figure emerged from a hedge and began to follow him as he walked down the road. He kept an eye on the presence it changed into a figure wearing a hat and a silver chain. When Mr Bardhill began to run, the figure kept pace before disappearing.
There have also been reports of footsteps up and down the corridors. The building itself cannot be entered as it is currently in use.
