HAVE YOU GOT A DERBYSHIRE GHOST STORY?

Richard Felix is looking for real ghost stories, strange experiences and unexplained encounters from ordinary people across Derbyshire for his new book:

DERBYSHIRE: THE PEOPLE’S GHOST STORIES

Perhaps it happened in your home, a pub, an old workplace, a hospital, a school, on a lonely country road or somewhere you would never expect.

Maybe you saw someone who simply vanished.
Heard footsteps when nobody was there.
Experienced something you still cannot explain.
Or perhaps it is a story that has been passed down through your family for years.

Richard wants to hear it.

Your story doesn’t need to be dramatic. Sometimes the simplest unexplained experiences are the ones that stay with us the longest.

Stories from Derby, Belper, Chesterfield, Matlock, Ripley, Alfreton, Ilkeston, Ashbourne, the Peak District and every corner of Derbyshire are welcome.

If you have a story that could be included in the book, email: [email protected]

Please SHARE this post too. The person with the next great Derbyshire ghost story might be one of your friends. 👻
