Leeds Mill Haunts: Ghost Hunters Take Over Historic Site
19 Jul
Summary
- New tenants aim to host ghost-hunting events at historic mill.
- The Grade II-listed Thwaite Mill dates back to 1641.
- The mill was previously a museum run by Leeds City Council.
The historic Thwaite Mill in Leeds, a Grade II-listed site dating back to 1641, is set to host paranormal events. New tenants Jenny Bryant and Chris Foster have secured a decade-long lease on the property, which has not been used for industrial purposes since 1975.
Previously operated as a museum by Leeds City Council until its closure in 2024, the mill was recently withdrawn from auction after its sale to developers. Bryant expressed a desire to keep the landmark accessible to the public.
Bryant, 50, admitted to feeling a sense of being watched within the mill, especially after dark, highlighting the building's eerie atmosphere. This unique venture aims to tap into the site's historic and possibly supernatural reputation.
