Details
HistoryMoira Furnace was built in 1804 by the Earl of Moira to process local iron and coal but it was short-lived, closing in 1811 due to commercial failure. After its industrial closure, it was converted into housing for local miners, which continued until the 1970s. Today, the well-preserved blast furnace is a Grade II listed monument and museum, which is situated in a country park with a restored stretch of the Ashby Canal.
Moira Furnace holds a rich and unsettled history, and it leaves behind a lingering presence of desolate souls within its walls and surroundings. Among these areas is the infamous Mary's kitchen, a Victorian-style kitchen that still preserves authentic objects from that era. Additionally, the furnace building itself once served as a home for numerous families until the mid-1950s, shortly after the conclusion of World War II.
Hauntings
Moira Furnace is reportedly haunted with numerous ghostly tales, and visitors and staff have reported a variety of paranormal experiences like disembodied voices, shadows, and feeling uneasy in certain areas.

Unexplained footsteps, and an unsettling sensation of being watched have also been reported.
