The Manchester park 'haunted' by a magical creature from Harry Potter that knows your 'worst fear'

It's no secret that Boggart Hole Clough in Manchester is haunted, but some may not know that the spirit that's said to lurk there is a magical creature that appears in Harry Potter.

Boggart Hole Clough in Blackley is full of nooks and crannies to explore, including ancient woodland with steep ravines, a lake and more - plenty of areas for a mysterious fiend to make its presence known. The park is said to be named after a boggart - a spirit that appears in English folklore and inhabits fields and marshes.

However, for those of you who are familiar with Harry Potter, you'll know that there's a lot more to a boggart than this. The magical creature features throughout the books and films, but its first appearance is in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
