Images from an investigation at Armley Mills
Sunday 13th December 2015
 
 
Armley Mills is now home to the Leeds Industrial Museum
 
 
 
The Mills date back to the sixteenth Century
 
 
 
A fire destroyed the original building
 
 
 
after it was bought by Benjamin Gott (1762-1840)
 
 
 
It was re-built in 1805
 
 
 
and was the world's largest woollen mill.
 
 
 
The Mills are Grade II listed
 
 
 
and it closed in 1969
 
 
 
It opened as a museum in 1982
 
 
 
The dark corridors are said to be haunted
 
 
 
Ghosts of children have been seen and heard
 
 
 
The Mills are situated on a bank of the River Aire
 
 
 
and very near to the Leeds and Liverpool canal
 
 
 
Most Haunted's Yvette Fielding, Karl Beattie
 
 
 
Stuart Torevell, Glen Hunt
 
 
 
and their team recently investigated there
 
 
 
The machine rooms were eerily quiet
 
 
 
and nobody else was about
 
 
 
There was a feeling of sadness
 
 
 
as many lives would have been lost in the past
 
 
 
Now silence
 
 
 
where the deafening noise of machines
 
 
 
once affected everyone who worked there
 
 
 
The ghosts were not forthcoming
 
 
 
but their silent presence was undeniable!
