Noises frighten staff.
Noises have frightened the staff of a Mansfield store so much they won’t go into a stockroom alone. And Littlewoods store assistant manager, Mr F A Frost, said they may call in a medium. He said footsteps and voices had been heard in the top stockroom by a girl, who had worked there alone, and by other members of staff. “We are all intrigued as much as we are nervous,” he added.
The store in Westgate is built on the site of the former Granada cinema. “There was a fatal accident or suicide years ago so we are looking for some historic tie-up with the noises,” said Mr Frost.
