Greengate Brewery Most Haunted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Greengate brewery set in Middleton \u00a0was formed in 1828 when John Lees built the brewery where it is still operational today. The company was renamed J.W. Lees & Co. Brewers, when John Lees’ grandson, John William Lees, took over the company in 1876. The company is still family owned and operated today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewers of Most Haunted have named this episode as one their favourites. Famous for its ale and beer production as well its hauntings.
Yvette commences the show stating that a high level of activity is recent and the crew seem quite eager. Audio, physical and apparition activity is experienced at the brewery.  Several employees tell of their experiences including the brew room manager, who says he witnessed and followed an apparition to find it had disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the boardroom it is mentioned that a night security guard was slapped across the face by unseen hands.  I met my husband whilst a security guard (my husband was a manager for the company), who had the contract for the brewery at the time. My husband can confirm that there was indeed several guards including the one slapped who refused to even enter the premises. Grown men have cried over the experiences and eventually the security company had a high turn of guards on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Yvette claims they cannot trace the guard, but I’m sure if they did a little research they would find the right information and more than likely would of spoke to my husband regarding the incident in question, therefore corroborating his story. The crew notice the atmosphere is different than other locations but appear confident when Derek arrives.
In the sampling cellar Derek tells of a man who died in the well\/vat and appears to have injuries. He says the spirit is grounded, he then elaborates that the spirit is a murder victim. Later on implementing two well known names relating to the brewery.<\/p>
