I went to talk to a friends mother in law who claims to have seen a ghost over five times in a shed area which they used as a place to chop wood for the fire when he husband was alive. This woman is 84 and as she spoke about her short conversations with this spirit she also would paint a picture of times gone by. It was really good to sit and listen to what she said mixed in with paranormal tales of old. 
There seemed to be a recurring theme. A roman road was rumoured to run down from Cullingworth and through where they now lived and on to Ilkley. This woman lent me some volumes of books called 'Old Yorkshire'. What I found in these books was validation from the 16 th century that where they lived was the sight of one of the biggest discoveries of Roman money ever made. It was found twenty inches below the surface as a farmer was digging a drain for his field. Also up their road in a large hole leading tunnel-like into the woodland where someone had found Roman spears and helmets. The history and the sighting of a man in her shed telling her to 'not let them find the cross', was all very interesting. I have to make some sort of readable page about this for my website. I need to visit my gran for some more details too.
