Something Spooky in Sheffield

UFO’s, aliens, ghosts, spirits...whatever you want to call these paranormal phenomenon’s there is constantly a debate to whether they really exist.

Over the years there have been hundreds of these potential UFO and ghost sightings across Sheffield and South Yorkshire but no area of the city seems to have had as many reports as Mosborough, seemingly the paranormal hot bed of South Yorkshire.

Mosborough Hall Hotel is said to be one of the most haunted hotels in the steel city and rumours of ‘The White Lady’ roaming the rooms and corridors have meant specialist teams from Sheffield Paranormal Investigations have had to study the hotel. The team found dozens of signs of ghostly goings on such as strange lights, orbs and actual sightings of pale figures walking past windows.

The hotel is also said to have gone through many different owners and tragedy has always befell their family in some way. Is this all an eerie coincidence or is there something darker happening in Mosborough?

Shannon Johnson, 19, a local college student who lives close to the hotel certainly thinks theres more too it than coincidence. She said she has noticed strange occurrences at the hotel for as long as she can remember. “The hotel has always freaked me out. I remember when I was younger me and my friends used to dare each other to run up to the building when it was dark and one time I saw a face staring at me from the window.”

However, the hotel is not the only place there have been out of ordinary sightings in the city. Thousands of individual reports in Mosborough and the surrounding area have shown a remarkable number of inexplicable lights and shapes in the sky that many believe to be UFO’s or aliens.

South Yorkshire farmer Andrew Leeton, 51, states that he has seen these extra terrestrial space craft’s on numerous occasions and is no longer shocked or frightened. “The first time I saw one I was obviously dubious and scared, who wouldn’t be, but I’ve seen them too many times to count now, like orange saucers in the sky, they leave me alone and I leave them.”

With so many strange sightings in the city it does make you wonder whether Sheffield's bizarre sighting's really are a hive of paranormal activity or just a number of strange coincidences.
