'Ghost of former shopkeeper' spotted roaming around building where she used to work

The current store manager believes the spectre is the spirit of former owner Mrs Hopkinson

The ghost of a former shopkeeper has allegedly been spotted roaming around building where she used to work - years after her death.

The spooky CCTV was captured in vintage store Hopkinson, located in Station Street, Nottingham.

The premises were originally opened in the 1880s as a family-run industrial engineers merchants called H. Hopkinson Ltd.

That business was run by the patriarch of the family - Mr Hopkinson.

It was later changed to a vintage clothes shop, which also stocks antiques.

In the clip, an eerie outline is seen floating towards a rack of clothes before pausing beside items of clothing.

The figure, believed to be the wife of the shop's original owner, then turns and floats away, almost as quickly as she appeared.

General manager Izzy Watts told Mirror.co.uk: "I was 100% convinced by the footage. When I saw it on my way into work, I actually felt sick.

"I thought it was a joke. I actually text my boss to ask him but he swore it was real.

"I'm really into the supernatural and I think it really does look like a woman."

Izzy added: "I've never experienced anything like that before, but the landlord who owns the shop has always said he feels uncomfortable here alone.

"In the past, customers have approached us to ask us if the place is haunted, especially if they've been on the shop floor by themselves."

Thankfully, since the CCTV footage emerged, there have been no more spooky goings on at the shop.

Izzy said: "Luckily, being in the summer, it's nice and light at night when I have to close up.

It's created quite a lot of excitement with the staff. Everyone now refuses to go up to the office alone. I have already refused to take anything up there on my own.

We're just all hoping that Mrs Hopkinson is a friendly ghost!"
