It was one of the most Godforsaken places in Leeds.   Now a thriving tourist attraction, Thackray Medical Museum was opened in 1861 as the Leeds Union Workhouse to accommodate 800 paupers. It was grimness personified and was once hit by a typhus epidemic that killed many people.
The building was expanded considerably over the next 50 years and went on to become part of St James's hospital in 1944. In 1997 it was transformed into the Thackray Medical Museum.
Several ghostly figures have been spotted in various parts of the museum, which includes a real life Victorian Street complete with sounds and smells, and an operating theatre. There have also been reports of unexplained sounds of children laughing and adult footsteps.
To cap it off, among the exhibits is the skeleton of Mary Bateman, the Yorkshire Witch who was tried and executed for witchcraft during the early 19th century.
