Inside Greater Manchester's most haunted places... from a jilted ghost bride to the 'screaming' skull

With such a long and storied history it’s hardly surprising that a number of locations across Greater Manchester are home to some very spooky tales. Many of the region’s renowned sites and Victorian streets come with some horrifying stories that will more than likely send a shiver down your spine.

And even if you’re not convinced by paranormal activity, there’s something about Halloween that reignites the intrigue around these famous sites. Poltergeists in the city and further afield are often reported to the Paranormal Database - on ongoing inventory documenting locations with folkloric or paranormal activity.

Manchester - as expected - even has its own dedicated section and features for more than 13,000 entries. While we couldn't possibly list every one below, we’ve taken a closer look at some of the sightings alongside some of the well-known haunted spots across Greater Manchester.
