crookesey   622 #27 Posted June 4, 2011 Ghosts or no ghosts, I would love one of those bungalows on Lodge Moor Road, albeit I don't like the estate that stands just up the road, where the hospital was located.  It all sets itself up for ghost stories, Fulwood Homes, Lodge Moor Hospital, the prisoner of war camp, a plane crash, the lovely Sue Fidler killed in a car crash, and god only knows what else.

camdenhighst   10 #28 Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Tres tres interesant comment here related to John Williams Timmons - and fascinating ghost sighting. Does anyone know who the "phil" who reports this is? Would love to know more.  From http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/sense_of_place/ghost_stories/index.shtml "Phil - sheffield Sheffield, Lodge Moor. I Have recently moved house up to the New David Wilson Homes. We live on a large green and there is a single tree which exists from before the housing development took place. We were having a few friends round for a meal and i just happened to be passing the window. Outside on the green was a youngish looking man in a white strght jacket - he had escaped from the jacket and was dragging a young looking girl towards the road - me and my friend John ran out to help her and told the girls to lock the door - the man looked up at us with these deranged eyes and then both he and the body ranished - the girls were watching from the window and both saw this happen! Turns out the Housing site is on the old grounds of an isolation hospital - and one of the patients John William Timmons had been sent to the mental ward in wing A because of acute schizophrenia - He had been murdering local girls as he felt females were the work of evil! I had never heard this storey until after that night when i decided to do some reasurch. I will never forget the expression he gave us before he vanished!"

I was up the David Wilson estate yesterday where is the green with a single tree ? Is it round near the children’s play area ?

Heartshome   18 #36 Posted June 12, 2020 Yes, there's quite a few Ghost stories spanning the years from around the area. - My friend's had the experience of the 'Spectre' on the corner of Soughly Lane. She was just having a ride round on her pony one afternoon, when he came to a dead stop. No matter what she did he would not go past that point, he was getting very agitated, so she turned him round and went back. - One night a car driver saw the figure of a man in the road, he slammed the brakes on and got out. The driver behind him also stopped and got out, but all they saw was a heavy mist in the road in the shape of a man, then it disappeared.
