The entry at the back of Brompton Park has long been regarded as one of the most haunted spots in the area, with numerous reports of ghostly figures appearing along the narrow laneway. Locals say that several different spirits are known to linger there, each tied to a tragic story from the past.

One of the most frequently reported apparitions is that of a man who is said to have taken his own life by hanging himself from the railings beside the Blackie Dam. His shadowy figure has been seen on multiple occasions, often described as silently standing near the spot where he died.

Even more poignant is the tale of a young mill worker whose spirit is also said to haunt the dam. According to local tradition, she drowned herself after receiving word that her fiancé — who had travelled to Scotland to earn enough money for their marriage — had been killed in an accident.
Her ghost, often described as a beautiful but sorrowful figure, is reportedly seen weeping and wailing along the water’s edge, eternally mourning the love she lost.

These stories have made the Brompton Park entry a place of both fascination and unease for generations of residents.
