Castle Street

Castle Street

There is no wonder this area has activity given the past goings on here.

The Cemetery was an overspill cemetery for the Holy Trinity Church, next to it on the spot of the Comfort Friendly Hotel was one of the older Hull Jails, and standing opposite was a mortuary! It was also rumoured that there was a set of gallows along here, which may go some way to explain our next sighting.

Many years ago a friend of the family was driving along here on his way to pick up his son from the train station. He drove to the station and picked up his son before setting off back home. As he neared the roundabout on Castle Street near the cemetery he noticed a female figure in what appeared to be white clothes, her tongue was protruding, her head on a side and her eyes bulging. The driver, his wife and son saw the figure. The dog was cowering in the back seat! The family pulled over to try and get a better look but by now the apparition had vanished, but a couple of other vehicles pulled up. They too had seen the mystery woman, one said her clothes looked like that of a nurse, the other claims she was hanging in thin air.

Whatever or whoever she was it is a very spooky place to be at night!
