Spooky footage captures ghostly goings on at UK's 'most haunted' museum
Chilling CCTV captures ghostly goings on at the UK's 'most haunted' museum - including the moment a 16th century skeleton smashed in an empty room in the middle of the night. The Museum of Curiosities lays claim to being one of the most haunted places in the country with thousands of cursed artefacts and spooky oddities. Staff at the Nottingham attraction now refuse to work night shifts there due to the amount of paranormal activity going on- with some of it being captured on camera. Hair-raising footage shows a 400-year-old human skeleton worth £12,000 falling to the ground and shattering despite nobody being inside the building at the time. In another creepy clip the same room can be seen filling with a mysterious mist which triggers the security alarm but then suddenly disappears.
