For nearly a thousand years, Wakefield Cathedral, originally known as All Hallows has stood watching over the city, its towering spire rising high above the streets below.

But beneath the beauty of this historic building lies a past stretching back to the Domesday Book of 1086, when a church was first recorded on this sacred ground. Over the centuries it was rebuilt, renamed, expanded and restored, its stones witnessing generations of worshippers passing through its doors.

Victorian restoration work between 1858 and 1874, led by the famous architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, helped shape the cathedral we see today.

Yet some believe not everyone ever truly left.

Visitors and staff have reported strange moments inside the cathedral… the sound of footsteps echoing through empty aisles, shadows moving where no one stands, and the uneasy feeling of being watched in the silence.

In 2016 paranormal investigator Mark Vernon claimed to have captured a shadowy figure on camera, along with a faint whisper saying “I’m here.” He thinks it could of been the ghost of a 12th Century Monk.

In a place that has stood for centuries, holding the memories of countless lives, perhaps it isn’t so strange to wonder…
who might still be walking these ancient stones after dark.....

A follower recently shared two strange experiences from inside the former Martin House Charity Shop at 34 Sheep Street, Skipton.
Around six years ago, they witnessed a glass ornament fly from a shelf and break cleanly in half on the carpet, followed by a lady’s handbag slowly rolling off a shelf onto the floor with no one near it.

Sheep Street sits at the heart of historic Skipton, a town whose name literally means “Sheep Town”, reflecting its medieval wool-trading roots. The street has been a busy commercial hub for centuries.
Records from the 1800s show that 34 Sheep Street was once:
• A beer shop run by Maria Platt around 1840
• Later taken over by George B. Hardcastle
• Then operated for around 30 years by Job Summersgill and his widow as an Ironmongers and tinplate business

Like many buildings on Sheep Street, it has always been a working premises, with traders, shopkeepers, and townsfolk passing through its doors for nearly two centuries. In the 1930s it was Smiths Servants Registry, a company specialising in matching domestic servants with employers.

By the 1980s, it had become a retail shop called Lucky Shoes, later changing in the 1990s to a photography shop known as Maple Leaf Images.
There are no officially documented hauntings tied specifically to No. 34, but here’s where it gets interesting…
Sheep Street itself has long featured in local folklore. Ghost tours through Skipton often describe eerie happenings along these old cobbles, including tales of a wailing female apparition linked to a 19th-century incident.

Just a few doors away, the Woolly Sheep Inn is also often mentioned in local ghost lore, said to be haunted by a female apparition dressed in pink who frequents the cellar.
Other nearby properties have their own chilling reputations too. No. 10 Sheep Street (now associated with WH Smith) has had at least two reported ghost sightings, while both No. 22 and other neighbouring buildings have also been linked to unexplained paranormal activity over the years.

So while 34 Sheep Street doesn’t have a recorded haunting of its own, it stands in an area already steeped in centuries of history and supernatural storytelling, perhaps making those strange occurrences a little less surprising.

In medieval Bradford, the town’s gallows are believed to have stood in a field known as Gallows Close, in the vicinity of Bowling Foundry.
The right to erect gallows dates back to Saxon times, when certain lords held the authority to administer justice within their lands. Historical records state that the Earl of Lincoln possessed many liberties in the town of Bradford, including the right to maintain a gallows.
However, another long-held belief places Bradford’s gallows closer to the town centre at a place known as Gallows Hill, thought to have been near the bottom of Wakefield Road, close to where Dead Lane was once located.
Despite these theories, the historical evidence supporting either location remains limited.
