Autumn is well and truly underway in Sheffield and Halloween is creeping closer, so we’ve taken a look at some of our most haunted places.

These 10 Sheffield buildings have all been searched by ghost-hunters or have spooky stories to tell of previous spirit sightings. Many of them are pubs – cue old joke about serving spirits after hours!

If you’re looking for some good old fashioned ghost stories to tell this Halloween, look no further.

I worked in The Star building, which is featured, from 1988 and never saw anything particularly scary – but have you ever had a spooky experience?

Share your spine-tingling stories on our Facebook group – Retro and memories – Sheffield Star.
