Sheffield is a strange city.
Throughout it's long history there have been countless tales of the weird and the wonderful within its boundaries.
Strange Sheffield features a selection of Ghost Stories, some well known but of them less so, from across Sheffield's history.
Featuring tales of Bunting Nook and The Stocksbridge Bypass, two of England’s most haunted roads, as well as other ghost stories from across the city including:
- The Phantom Carriage of Graves Park
- The Heroic Poltergeist of Mosborough
- The Ghost Plane of Owler Bar
- The Floating Feet of Angel Street
- Spring Heeled Jack
- The Hound of Hilsborough
The book also covers a few of Sheffield's mysterious UFO sightings including a look 1997s now infamous "Sheffield Incident,” where a craft was allegedly downed in Howden Reservoir and that was once raised in Parliament, as well as UFO sightings reported by police officers in Woodseats and Ecclesfield.
I thank you all for your understanding and your support. This is my first book and I have been totally overwhelmed at the response it has received.

It may be rotting up on Shawtuck Mountain, but it's not alone. Oswald "Oz" Patterson is the new sheriff of Delaware County. After a near-death experience as a cop in the South Bronx, he decided to move away from the inner city and live a safer life. Oz will find that he has only traded one nightmare for a worse one.

Everyone has heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But what about close encounters of the fatal kind? The field of UFOs is rife with unsettling examples of suspicious deaths. Accounts of accidents that might not have been accidents after all, abound. Researchers and witnesses have vanished, never to be seen again. Conveniently timed heart attacks are reported. Out-of-the-blue suicides that, upon investigation, bear the distinct hallmarks of murder, are all too common.

Story
They live in shadows - deep in the forest, late in the night, in the dark recesses of our minds. They're spoken of in stories and superstitions, relics of an unenlightened age, old wives' tales, passed down through generations. Yet no matter how wary and jaded we have become, as individuals or as a society, a part of us remains vulnerable to them: werewolves and wendigos, poltergeists and vampires, angry elves and vengeful spirits.

On February 13, 1945 at 10:03 p.m., British bombers began one of the most devastating attacks of WWII: the bombing of Dresden. The first contingent killed people and destroyed buildings, roads, and other structures. The second rained down fire, turning the streets into a blast furnace, the shelters into ovens, and whipping up a molten hurricane in which the citizens of Dresden were burned, baked, or suffocated to death.

In March 2015, millions worldwide were captivated by news reports of the dramatic rescue of an 18-month-old girl, Lily Groesbeck, who'd somehow survived 14 hours in an overturned car partially submerged in an icy-cold Utah river after her mother apparently lost control of the vehicle. A voice the four responding officers assumed was the child's mother still trapped inside spurred them on: "Help me, help me." Yet once the two victims were recovered, it was clear that the voice could not have come from Lily's mother: She'd been killed on impact.
