Welcome To Derby Ghost
Capital Of England --Seymour's Wine Bar
Seymour's Wine Bar, Seymour's Wine Bar, in the shadow of St Werburgh's Church
Seymore's
Wine Bar Tucked away in St
Werburgh's
Churchyard, behind the former
church off Cheapside, is Seymour's
Wine Bar and Restaurant which is
known to be haunted by the figure of
an old lady, dressed in grey, who is
said to frequent the upper regions of
the property. Several stories have
been related to me concerning the
appearance of this ghost and many of
the sightings are said to be 'pre-
announced' by the smell of lavender,
which pervades the room to the
extent of 'stinging the nostrils' as one
young lady described it.
Several strange incidents took place in the building when a former
manager lived there. On several occasions he would find that cutlery
had been moved around and placed in a different order. Other items
would occasionally disappear, only to reappear at a later date,
sometimes in the same place. often in a totally different location,
days or weeks later.
The area known as the 'Bake House', in the upper regions of the
building, was often reported by staff to have a 'watchful presence'. On
several occasions staff felt themselves being touched by unseen hands,
but never did anyone feel that they were meant any harm. in fact, all
the employees were quite happy with their unseen guests.
The adjacent graveyard of St Werburgh's is also said to be haunted by
several spirits and one former worker at Seymour's informed me that on
several occasions he had seen the figure of a man appear to walk
through the wall into the building.
