Haunted Hull? By Ellen

My name is Ellen. I was born and raised in Hull. I was just reading the article about haunted hotels and I thought I'd write about some of my husband's and my experiences. My husband, Graham Lee is a psychic medium working in Hull and Yorkshire, and I'm a believer in the supernatural. We were having a day out in the town and decided to pay a visit to the museums. On visiting the Old Grammar School in Trinity Square, we were quite taken with the level of ghostly activity there!

There was a particular spot on some stairs that have been blocked off where my husband felt the presence of a young lady who he felt had fallen to her death. We are unable to really verify this and would appreciate any info that might clarify this.

He also picked up the spirit of a man in the Maritime Museum. He named the man Charles. Again, if anyone can shed light on this it would be very interesting. There are loads of reputedly haunted places in Hull that Graham would love to check out! At the moment he is involved in filming for a new series called The Haunted Truth, and would love to maybe include some of Hull's fantastic historical places.
