is rented to tenants and, in 1991, he took in a young couple with a baby. He was particularly pleased to welcome them because they took a room with an adjacent garden which needed work doing to it. The couple agreed to tidy it up and Mr Smith lent the tenant a sledgehammer to knock in some posts so that he could fence off the site On July 2nd last year, the farmer returned home at 1.30pm to be greeted by the excited tenant. Both heard loud banging sounds which seemed to be coming from a hedgerow, but closer examination revealed something very odd. "They were coming from two feet above my head," Mr Smith said. It soon dawned on him that the noises ran in exact sequence to those made when his tenant hammered the posts to support the fence months earlier.

I worked there for 6 yrs and we always felt that there was something there. Chairs would move and weird noises but we were told that when it was Rutland Garments a lady hung herself in the ladies and she's been there ever since

I used to go to hermits cave often in my teens. I enjoyed walking the dogs up there from Kirk hallam. I’d go up there on my own mostly apart from a few X rated experiences. I used to use those slopes in my fitness regime and I counted this place as my uiet place where I could reflect. I’ve even had the occasional nap up there and woke up in the dark. I’ve never experienced anything paranormal there, but that feeling of being watched rings home when I think back. In fact, even though most of the time I went there alone, but I never felt alone, I even remember talking to myself up there as if there was someone around who would respond. But I never felt uncomfortable or uneasy in anyway
