Your visit to Mill Street Barracks visit may give you strange whistles coming out of the darkness, taps and bangs in many areas from unknown sources, and an uneasy feeling felt in the cellar with icy blasts blowing across you.

The Spirit of a former soldier called James, has been known to take a fancy to the ladies, but in quite a cruel way! For her likes to touch and plagiarise woman who are attractive to him and push away and try to scare those he considers to be less attractive.

His reaction to other men is as if he believes himself to be above them, ignoring them to only react to woman investigators. The Spirit of a tea lady with trolley is seen in the Drill Hall, standing in the corner without moving. The spirit of a three-legged dog has been reported here too. His growls are quite prominent against a silent room.

A Sinister dark shadow has been seen moving around in the creepy cellar below ground, with lots of taps, bangs heard, plus this spectre is known to interact with ghost hunters in a strong way, often resulting in people freezing in terror! When a recording of an air raid siren is played through this building, or wartime songs – it is said to stir up a hive of ghostly activity. Will you be the one to press play?

Mill Street Barracks is British War history, once acting as the many branches of the armed forces through many wars and battles. In 1890, the building was listed as the Headquarters of the 2nd Volunteer South Lancashire Regiment, and during both World Wars the building was used not only as a RAF barracks but also for the housing of wounded soldiers.

With its past being set in the darkest days of British History, there was no doubt it would leave its mark on the building. There have been many reports of sightings of ghosts, strange sounds, poltergeist activity and much more!
