1. Visit From Beyond
Paranormal investigators Linzi and Lee Steer claim to have captured spine-chilling footage of the ghost of a young girl who perished in the Huskar Pit mining disaster of 1838. The investigators were exploring the memorial site near Silkstone, South Yorkshire, when they recorded a haunting image they hadn’t initially noticed. The footage reveals what appears to be a white apparition “floating” near a tree.
Linzi, who is confident that the figure is a ghost, suggests it is one of the 26 children who drowned nearly two centuries ago when a mine shaft flooded. According to her, the figure appears to be clothed in a white dress, much like the attire the dead children were dressed in post-recovery. Intriguingly, the pair reported receiving “interesting” electromagnetic field readings during their investigation, adding another layer of mystery to this ghostly sighting. Linzi and Lee, who live only 10 minutes away from the memorial, have shared their unsettling findings with their 2.3 million social media followers, leaving many spooked.
