Ghosthunter captures spooky figure on video at notorious haunting hotspot Stocksbridge Bypass

Spooky video, shared above, appears to show a ‘black figure’ on a street that is supposedly haunted.

Andy Pollard, a ghost investigator and vlogger apparently captured the spooky shadow during an investigation into ghost stories in the area. Click to play the video above.

Andy, who has a YouTube channel called the Yorkshire Ghost Guy, filmed a live stream from Stocksbridge, but only spotted the mysterious dark figure when he looked back at the footage.

At that point he saw what seemed to be a dark shadowy figure walking in front of his parked car and its headlights.

Andy said: “I have an interest in the paranormal and have a small YouTube channel, Yorkshire Ghost Guy.

Of his trip to Stocksbridge, he said: “I went there with my son and right at the end of the footage what seems to be a figure runs in front of my car.”

The car had stopped at Pea Royd Lane, Stocksbridge when the figure appeared. Andy does not believe it is a shadow, because the only source of light was his car headlights.

Andy said he was sending the footage to a video expert for examination.

He said: “I would love to know what it is, and and would welcome any suggestions from anyone who is genuinely interested.”

He said he could not say if it was a ghost, or some sort of mystery creature like a cryptid - animals or other beings that cryptozoologists believe may exist somewhere in the wild, but whose present existence is disputed or unsubstantiated, such as the Loch Ness Monster.

The ghostly sights from Stocksbridge Bypass have been sending shivers down the spines of drivers for three decades and the stretch between the Peak District and Sheffield has been named the second most haunted road in the UK in the past.

During the time the road was under construction, it was reported that two security guards witness young children playing in the middle of the construction site. As they got closer, the children began to disappear with no footprint evidence left in the trail behind them.

Other spooky sightings reported there have included a medieval monk.

Over the years some motorists have even claimed to have ghostly apparitions appear in car next to them while they are driving along the road, which has been site of fatal crashes over the years.
