11. The Winter Green, Waverley
The manager of the Winter Green, on Mitchell Way, Waverley, has posted videos of spooky happenings at the pub, ever since CCTV picked up a glass tipping over in 2016. There was also a salt pot felling off a table at night, and a mysterious white ‘swoosh’ coming through the pub carvery, before the carvery light flashes. She said locals call it the angry miner – because the pub is on the site of the former Orgreave coking plant, made famous during the 1980s miners strike.
