Belgrave hall is a grade II listed building in the north of Leicester. Belgrave Hall was built in 1709 by a hosiery merchant but died soon after completion. 

The hall has has several owners and their families within it rooms  over the years, including John Ellis, who famously brought the railway to Leicester and was associated with George Stephenson.

John Ellis took possession of Belgrave Hall in 1847 when he was 58. With a wife and seven daughters, he was one of Leicester's most prominent figures. John died in 1862, and his wife and five daughters stayed at Belgrave Hall. Margaret, the last of the daughters, died in 1923. seventy- six years after they arrived.

Belgrave Hall was bought by Leicester City Council and is now used as a museum.

In 1999, two ghostly figures were recorded on a security camera outside the hall, reportedly one of the Ellis daughters. The most widely reported sightings is of a woman in a long Victorian- style dress on the lower ground staircase gazing through the window into the garden. As a result of her attire, they named her 'The Victorian Lady'. 

Many paranormal reports here are visual, but activity attacks all the senses, as staff have experienced incredible amounts of strange happenings almost daily. Dark shadow figures are often seen darting around the property, and the dismbodied footsteps of children running around on empty floors are also common. 

Belgrave is listed 3rd on the list of haunted locations in Leicestershire.
