Is there an Ellowes Hall School Ghost? See Ellowes Memories article click here.

About twelve years ago, Clive Brookes (who is still the school caretaker) left his assistant Phil to lock up the school on the 6pm-10pm shift. Clive is pretty certain that it was a Thursday and there was nothing on at school that evening. Phil had already worked at the school for around 6 months and so was used to the procedure. Before going home, (the caretaker's house is on site), Clive had taken a floor 'buffer' to Phil and asked him to take it down a flight of stairs to the cupboard where it was kept. As Phil started to wheel the buffer down the stairs, something attracted his attention down the corridor. So he lifted the buffer back to the top of the stairs. He went to check everything out and walked through some glass double-doors, down to the end of the corridor. The staffroom door was locked. He went back to the floor buffer. As he started down the stairs again, he ended up dropping the buffer down the stairs as a "bloke in overalls walked straight through the double doors and straight through the staff room door." Phil rushed to the caretaker's bungalow, and Clive says that he was a big fellow, but was extremely scared. It was a long time before he locked up alone again! Thanks to Chris for this contribution.
