Known locally as “The Hostel of the Dead,” 39 De Grey Street is infamous for intense poltergeist activity reported by multiple tenants and paranormal teams since the early 2000s. Witnesses describe shadow figures, violent door slamming, objects thrown across rooms, and the unsettling presence of a black-eyed child seen standing at the foot of beds. Investigators have captured growls, knocks responding to questions, and sudden temperature drops throughout the terraced house. Several residents fled the property abruptly, leaving belongings behind, cementing its reputation as one of Hull’s most disturbing modern hauntings.
