The Electricity Obsessed Spirit of Milsom Street.. Bath History - Milsom Street was built in 1762 The buildings were originally grand town houses, but most are now used as shops, offices and banks. As a fashionable Georgian thoroughfare, Milsom Street is quoted in several of the works of Jane Austen, including Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Hauntings - For many years several of the shops have reported a presence of a spirit in their premises which seems to have an obsession with lights and saving electricity! This spirit is said to turn off lights at random on window displays and within the shop. Its not just the lights at the window displays, but lights in other parts of the building even if there are staff members present too.. It will also close doors and turn televisions on and off..! The spirit is thought to be that of a former occupant of the premises who was thought to be a bit strange in life as he had an obsession with turning lights off and closing doors...! I have also heard stories of a presence in Jollys stockroom as well.. also apparently there was a funeral directors in Jollys and in the basement there is a room known as the body room, which must have been the morgue, this is said to have a presence..
