Derby is a city with
a very long and interesting history which is why it's needless to say
that it tells an abundance of ghost stories and spooky tales. The city of Derby has actually been crowned the "Ghost
capital of Great Britain" by the BBC with over 1,000 paranormal sightings
recorded in recent years, and this is something that the people of Derby are extremely
proud of.
Derby boasts an abundance
of histrorical connections, such as a visit from Bonnie
Prince Charlie and has also hosted a long line of grisley executions in it's infamous Gaols, so the high level of reported hauntings seems
inevitable.
So whether you are a Derby resident with a ghost story to share or a visitor taking an interest in the city's spooky reputation, the
stories contained on this site are guaranteed to send an icey chill down
your spine.
