Endcliffe Hall
Endcliffe Hall is a historic mansion located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. Built between 1863 and 1865, the hall was commissioned by John Brown, a prominent steel manufacturer and inventor. The Grade II listed building was designed by architects Flockton & Abbott in the Italianate style, featuring ornate interiors and expansive grounds.
During World War I, Endcliffe Hall served as a military hospital, treating wounded soldiers from the front lines. In World War II, it was requisitioned by the British Army and used as a headquarters for various military units.
The hall has gained a reputation for paranormal activity over the years. Several ghost sightings have been reported, including that of a “Grey Lady” believed to be the spirit of a nurse from the building’s time as a military hospital. Witnesses have described seeing her apparition in the hallways and hearing the rustling of her uniform.
Another frequently reported phenomenon is the sound of phantom footsteps echoing through the empty corridors, particularly at night. Some visitors have claimed to feel sudden cold spots and an overwhelming sense of being watched in certain areas of the building.
In the grounds, there have been accounts of a ghostly soldier seen patrolling the perimeter, possibly a remnant from the hall’s military past. Staff and visitors have also reported hearing disembodied voices and whispers, especially in the former hospital wards.
One of the more chilling reports involves the apparition of a young boy seen playing in the gardens. According to local legend, this could be the spirit of a child who tragically died on the property during the Victorian era.
