HAVE you ever wondered where some of the most haunted places in Cumbria are?

We already know that the region is home to a lot of haunted pubs and hotels- but these aren’t the only places said to be haunted.

Ghostly apparitions and paranormal encounters could have happened on a street near you.

We have created an interactive map documenting some spooky sightings and ghostly apparition that are said to have taken place in Cumbria.



Information sourced from Paranormal Databases and Paul Lee.

The map features haunted locations such as the laser quest and escape room in the city centre.

This building is said to be built upon a former prison where people were tortured, killed and buried.

Black figures have been spotted here and some even report to have seen the hangman wandering the rooms.  

Other haunted locations on the list includes Greystoke Castle, where it’s said that a man disappeared without a trace.

A monk is also said to haunt the castle after he was bricked up in the basement and left to die.
