we live in a terrace built in 1901 in barnsley…
when we were redecorating the bathroom we pulled off all the plaster…i found a 1901 penny inserted in the brickwork…was quite impressed at the find! thats same day my little girl (aged 2 or 3 at the time) kept saying “daddy that dead man is sad” i asked her who she was talking about …she said “the dead man with his cat in the bathroom” the next few days she talked about him all the time.
about 3 or 4 days after we were woken at 2am by the sound of a cat meowing really really loud…. me, my wife and step daughter all ran to where the noise was coming from (the bathroom) the noise was deafening like the cat was right next to us. the people next door didnt have a cat either!! i ran out side and i could hear it but it was coming from inside not outside!!!
the next night the same happened. we were freaking out a little especially my step daughter who was 12. the plasterer was due the next day so i placed the coin back in the wall and the wall was re plastered… the meowing stopped…and my little girl never mentioned the man again!!

Beauchief Abbey is reported to be haunted.
Ghost Sighting Sheffield Dore
Category Sheffield Ghosts, South Yorkshire Ghosts
a few years ago I used to work at Ash House old peoples home at Dore. We had a resident who although quite normal most of the time was very agitated at meal times often unable to go into the dining room crying “look at the children”. We moved her to another room which we served her meals in. Later on I discovered that prior to the war Ash House had been a hospice for sick children and the dining room had been used for terminal children. Also the same building was said to be haunted by the ghost of a former owner who had hung himself on the main staircase. I remember always being cold on the stairs however there was ahuge stained glass window there so what did I expect! Other strange events happened there but you’d have to buy me a pint to bore you with those
Ghost Sighting Sheffield Kiveton

I can confirm the sighting of the highwayman @ Packman Lane.
Coming from Kiveton Park myself I have seen it numerous times and also the spirit of the boy running across the road after the dip as well!!
Packman Lane is supposedly an old roman road apparently and I’ve heard a rumour that a small troop of roman soldiers walk the lane at nightime- cant confirm this though unfortunately
Ghost Sighting Sheffield Stocksbridge Bybass

There’s obviously the old monk and the Ring a roses children on the Stocksbridge bypass and another little known one…
(sighting verified by my scientific minded i.e. ghost non-believer uncle)… over at Kiveton Park, there’s a lane up to a farm. If you take the main road to kiveton park station then cross the tracks at the level crossing, follow the road up and go straight across at the cross roads (this is particularly creepy at dusk!).
Carry along and in one of the dips of the road, near to a stile and gate, a ghostly image should run across in front of you.
thought the be the son of the local farmer who many years ago ran him over at this point in a tragic accident
