:thumbsup: Looking for anyone who lives at Bunting Nook who knows anything about the legend of the Boggard (a black dog) seen by a police officer in 1958 near Hemsworth Road..

Anyone else seen anything or heard anything paranormal up there?

I'm trying to trace that police officer anyone got a clue who he was?

Another 7 police officers claim to have seen something in the same spot on the Nook.

I know about Charles Glover being killed on the Nook in 1846.

I'm going to investigate up there this Saturday

Cheers
Jon

We did a drama thing about the murder of Alan Glover or whatever his name is in drama lessons at school years ago...

What school did you go to? i had the same lesson with a teacher called Mr Kearns!

Mr Kearns was a legend - shame what happened to him :(

There is a knot in one of the trees that looks like a withered old face.

I usually walk past this road at night on the way home from a mates house, and it doesn't half send a chill down the old spine! It doesn't help with there being that huge old gloomy house on the corner and the church and the end! :shocked:

-Paul- I see what you mean about Bunting Nook....while walking down the Nook we was stopped by a bloke who said "you dont want to film down the Nook you will make the witch come" :loopy: ok lol.....but we found the grave stone of Charles Glover who was killed on the Nook in 1846 age 16

Theres also the story about the horseman. These days your more likely to get run over by the same idiots doing handbrake turns in the park carpark tho :)

I've heard stories of the stage coach being seen moving towards the Nook on the gress field by the pavillion in the park. Don't know if this used to be the old road or not?

Wasn't there a story of two lovers who rode up on a horse, and climbed and sat on the wall on the nook. Then they both (or one, can't remember) jumped, missed their horse and died?

.... or have I just made that up :confused: !

Some cut outs from a story from the site ---> http://www.castleofspirits.com/stories02/hauntedla.html

One autumn evening my dad and I decided to go for a walk up a haunted lane called Bunting Nook. The lane is famous in Sheffield for being haunted. It is next to a large park and so has lots of trees along the length of the lane. However, birds never sing in the trees. We thought it would be a laugh to walk up the lane and neither of us thought that we would see anything.

As we strolled along my dad started to tell me the story of the haunting. The story is that two young lovers were eloping together on horseback. As they were jumping a fence, the horse fell and the lovers broke their necks. The lane is apparently haunted by the eloping lovers.

about 100 yards from the end of the road we saw a figure slowly cross the road. The figure seemed to walk into the wall through into what my dad and I assumed was a gate. We did not really take that much notice. However, when we finally got to the end of the road, my dad said, “Where did that man go?” At first I did not understand what my dad meant, but when I turned and looked at the wall I realised what my dad was asking. The wall was solid with no gate or other opening. Also as the wall was eight feet high and went on for a considerable distance, there was no way the man could have gone over or around the wall. When we both realised that no earthly body could have gone through wall as we had seen we looked at each other and quickly walked back to the car which was parked at the other end of the lane. The return journey was a lot quicker than the original one!!!!

Do you mean Mr Kearns (Pete) at Gleadless Valley, from the mid eighties to the early nineties?

Sad to report he died at a young age, of a heart attack.

(edit - just realised you were saying the same thing, rather than asking where he is now!)
