Bodelwyddan Castle is a fortified Manor House which is located in the county of Denbighshire, within Wales. The location is also a Victorian Gothic Revival-Style castle which is surrounded by formal gardens along with sixteen acres of woodland. The location currently serves as the grounds for a four-star hotel owned by the Warner Group, but it has a long history spanning back to the 1400s. Originally it was built as a house, and it gained it's castle look during the 1800s; long after it was originally built.

The Pleasley Vale Mills are located in the Pleasley Vale, a small hamlet which spans the borders of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, within England. They have quite a disputed history, but they were established by Henry Hollins and some business partners during the 1700s. They are possibly most famously known for the creation and manufacture of the Viyella brand of fabric. The mills originally had harsh conditions, but they were reformed following fires which burnt down the original two mills and caused for them to be rebuilt. Today, the mills operate as a business park. Regarding the hauntings of this location, it's had a few vague reports. These include the famed names of Florence Nightingale and Dick Turpin, but they also include prehistoric spirits and a pair of legs with no torso which walk around the site.  History     The history of Pleasley Vale Mills, also known as Pleasley Vale Business Park, can be traced back to the 17th century, also known as the 1...
