The ghost from Bristol who drowned in a fishpond - but still haunts the area

An area near Cribbs Causeway is at the centre of the tale which dates back to 1937, and which has been included in the online Paranormal Database.

Drowned in a fish pond

A report on the Database says: “ This area has the reputation for being haunted by the phantom of a woman.”

There were various suggestions of how she had been injured, but the surroundings of her death seemed more certain.

The Database added: “Though injured, she ran away, only to stumble into a fishpond where she drowned. Her ghost was last seen by several carol singers.”

The punctual ghost who always appeared at 4.30pm

Around 80 different sightings from the Bristol area are included in the Database which was founded and is run by Darren Mann.

We are indebted to him for allowing us to share these intriguing stories.

A punctual ghost who got people talking in Bristol. It would always appear in the library next to the university and always around 4.30pm.

The radiogram which played classical music

In 2001, an estate agent was with a client and they were looking around an old, vacant property, which still had many of its original fittings.

After a while, a 1950s radiogram burst into life and began playing classical music.

In 1976, Kings Chase Shopping Centre was affected by incidents such as small items moving by themselves, the sounds of footsteps and rustling.

But perhaps strangest of all was that the poltergeist was associated with a habit of turning on a kettle.
