Simply because they are not expected, ghosts that appear in modern surroundings and with no warning often feel like the most terrifying of all. 

Today’s ghost is absolutely terrifying. Our witness tells us: “It was like a damp sheet of very black space wrapping itself around me…”

And where was this horrific patch of dark matter? In the very middle of Norwich city centre, in buildings which have part of an old church incorporated into their walls and which stand close to where one of the city’s most notoriously cruel workhouses once housed the local poor.
