Hauntings G

Gosforth Valley
In 1993, at the author’s home in Gosforth Valley, within a short time of a newly acquired but second-hand home computer being connected to a portable TV, two controls mysteriously operated themselves, causing the TV to suddenly come on at full volume.
For another example of a strange effect associated with the transfer of a possession from one house to another, see ‘Chesterfield (Influence of second-hand furniture)’.

Green Dragon Inn and Chantry Hotel, Dronfield
The Green Dragon Inn and Chantry Hotel have long been used as separate premises but the two buildings adjoin each other. There is a tradition that the inn originally housed the chantry priests who prayed for the dead in the Parish Church opposite. In the bar of the inn there is a medieval arch in the party-wall and a tunnel used to run between the two buildings. The two buildings both have ghostly activity in the form of gas cylinders for the keg beer (but not the draught beer) being turned off, in the cellar. In addition, at the Chantry, the lights are switched on and off, the fridge plug is pulled out and plates have been smashed. On one occasion, glasses from the Welsh dresser flew across the room.
It is rumoured that an underground passage goes from the Green Dragon to St John’s Church, which is across the road from the pub. However, the legend is unlikely to be true, as there is no actual evidence of this.

Goyt Side Road
Between the 1990s and 2010s there were numerous incidents of poltergeist activity at a lady's home on this road. Items were thrown around and on one occasion she was thrown against a wall. This may be related to the fact that in the early twentieth century the house was occupied by a man who murdered his wife.
