Bowes has been known as a paranormal hotspot for many years and an old school favourite for many ghost hunting groups.
Once the Springwell Colliery, this Railway yard became a huge part of employment in the local area at a time that the North East of England was leading the way for locomotive engineering and coal mining.
But sadly, working here was very dangerous and the list of fatalities at this site is enormous (more can be found in the colliery’s DMM page which has an incomplete collection of fatality reports).
And many are still said to be still here - some were never even recovered and there are known to be at least 27 men and boys still buried hundred of feet below this lane. They will probably be down there forever.
The accounts of paranormal activity here are frightening - some friendly, some extreme poltergeist activity.
