There have been rumours of ghouls in the toilets of the Victorian Gothic John Rylands Library, and talk of other-worldly goings-on in Fallowfield – including ‘a ghostly old man’ at the foot of the bed in the 1970s. An engineer, called into the museum to solve the riddle (and spoil the fun), concluded that the movement was, in fact, caused by vibrations from the busy Oxford Road nearby, aided by the statue’s convex base! “Did that just move?” Manchester’s most haunted Perhaps that’s why so many young people are turning to paganism.

Organisations such as the Society of Psychical Research aimed "to approach these varied problems without prejudice or prepossession of any kind, and in the same spirit of exact and unimpassioned enquiry which has enabled science to solve so many problems, once not less obscure nor less hotly debated."
