Tucked away at the south end of Mapperley Top, framed by lush garden borders and the open stretch of Haywood Road Green, sits the Haywood Road Community Centre. While the centre is a bustling hub for meetups and activities throughout the week, the green space truly comes alive once a year for a local phenomenon: the annual Silent Disco.

Paranormal Activity in Nottingham: Haunted Antiques, Thrill Engineers and a Creepy Door in Mapperley

As with all good ghost stories, it happened on a dark and stormy night in Mapperley. Actually, the weather on the night of Friday 6 June 2018 was fairly standard for that time of year; balmy, with a light breeze rustling through the detritus of shopping receipts and discarded plastic carrier bags from the nearby Aldi.
