Haunted Sites

Ghosts

 See also: Ghost Nights

The City of Leicester, with its rich and colourful history, has always had its fare share of ghost stories. But when two mysterious, luminous figures were caught on the security cameras at Belgrave Hall, Leicester became the ghost capital of the world. National and international media attention, from all four corners of the globe, focused on the Hall and the mysterious shapes which were filmed just before Christmas 1998.

But Belgrave Hall is not the only site operated by Leicester Arts and Museum Service which is reputed to be haunted.
