26 Middle Hillgate, Stockport

When Tony Hill moved his business into 26 Middle Hillgate, he hadn’t anticipated the chilling disturbances that would follow. From footsteps on the upper floor to shelves ripped from walls, the shop soon gained a ghostly reputation. Staff reported taps on the shoulder, tampered equipment, and objects flung across rooms. A colleague once slept on site—but never again. Paranormal investigators were called in, believing the spirit to be unsettled, perhaps unaware it had passed on. As winter approached, Tony admitted: “What worries me is that the nights are drawing in.”
