York Industrial Ragged School

Bedern Arch
Goodramgate
York

History

The once medieval home of the Minister’s Vicars Choral in the 16th century was sadly to become an area associated with slims and warehouses during Victorian times. The building became known as a workhouse and orphanage, named the York Industrial Ragged School in the mid 19th century. The master of the school was paid handsomely to round up waifs and strays and put them to work but he spent little on actually looking after the orphans. Many died of maltreatment and the panicking the boss locked the corpses in a large cupboard. As time went on the guilt of his actions drove the master insane and he eventually cracked, running through the school killing and stabbing any remaining children with a knife.

Paranormal Activity

It said by some that the faint sound of children playing can be heard which changes into screams of terror.

Clifton Hall

Holgate
Nottingham

History

Clifton Hall is a grade I listed building and was originally the home of the Clifton family during the Norman Conquest and was probably built for its defense location on a cliff summit overlooking the Clifton Village and the River Trent.

In later years the original watch tower was converted into a stately home and was continually modified up until the 1780s and became host to various guests such as King Charles I in 1632 who occupied a bedroom at the top of the circular staircase.

Paranormal Activity

This large mansion has been reported to have some rather horrific goings on ranging from mysterious figures appearing as real children of the owners of the property, unexplained tapping on the walls and strange voices. Even unexplained bloodstains have been known to appear on bedclothes.
