It is an open hill which is stepped as it rises, (presumably to allow spectators to stand on flat ground rather than on a hill).

It is currently a large area of open green recreation land sited on the northern side of Quernmore Road, and can be seen easily on Google Maps using the sattelite view.

I did note that the location of the ‘Gallows Hill’ wood wasn’t mentioned last night, (obviously that would have spoiled things).

I am also amazed that the Most Haunted team didn’t visit the old Lunatic Asylum here in Lancaster.

It’s pretty derelict nowadays but is still in a structurally sound state of repair and dates from the early 1800′s. Perhaps they were worried about finding some real spirits there?

I’ve lived in Lancaster for 40 years now, (having been born here), and can remember the asylum being in use, and how we used to scare ourselves as kids by wandering through the grounds listening to the tormented screams of the in-patients being cared for behind the locked doors.

Obviously the patients have long gone now, but I bet the walls still hold the spirits of the many thousands of patients that died there during the 1800′s and 1900′s.

The asylum even had it’s own mortuary although that was demolished some years ago and executive properties now stand on that side of the site, with some of those properties even being built directly over the old asylum graveyard!

Most Haunted consists of Yvette, her husband Karl and her cousin Stuart winding the rest of the crew up by producing noises and performances to get the other crew members jumping, Karl even finds it hard to keep his face straight half of the time!

Fair play to them though – they’re all very rich now.
