This housing estate was built in the 1940’s, but the land it was built on was the site of a former asylum. Residents have reported sighting the apparition of a shadowy figure with an evil face gliding through rooms and corridors of the estates, as well as seeing the figure sitting in chairs or on their beds. Babies crying, knocking, and an evil presence were all reported, as well as a terrifying apparition that stared into peoples rooms from outside the building.
