Most Haunted

History
It is thought that the original brewery buildings date back to the 17th century, but the deeds to the structure don't shed any further light. They do, however, relate to a "Greengate House" being on the site in 1791.

The buildings were bought from William Hilton, on the death of his father Thomas Hilton, who was a weaver. A manufacturer named John Lee bought the row of cottages in 1828 to set himself up as a brewer. About 175 years on, JW Lees & Co. is still going strong. A number of workmen died during the sinking of the brewery well in the 19th Century. In the 1930's, brewery supervisor went missing for days, he was eventually found curled up dead at the bottom of the well.

Phenomena
A lady has been spotted sitting in the JW Lees boardroom, facing away from the table, while another woman in a long, brown dress has been glimpsed coming through the staff kitchen door. While walking past the boardroom, a night watchman once claimed that he was hit across the face by something or someone never seen. He was so scared he waited outside the building until more staff arrived at 6am. One staff member claims that while she was sitting eating her lunch, she felt as if someone had come through the door, walk up behind her and then stand next to her. When she turned around, there was no-one there.

Investigation
Throughout the team's visit, they pick up the sound of items being thrown. Clattering noises and the sound of objects hitting the barrels is detected in several locations. The crew are unnerved as the items appear to be thrown with increasing force. Stuart conducts a solo vigil in the barrel room, where he hears a splashing sound, then hears a barrel moving. The camera captures a barrel rolling into the room which continues for some time. According to the manager the barrel run had been empty at the start of the night so someone would have need to push it, though it's determined that the room was empty..
