The Blackie Boy - Haunted History

Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne and Wear

Located in Newcastle city centre, Blackie Boy in Groat Market, is one of the oldest pubs in Newcastle. Also known as the Black Boy Inn, it was rebuilt in 1889 after part of the structure collapsed. Over the years, many staff and customers have reported strange goings on, including the unsettling feeling of being watched and disembodied voices. One member of staff reported being alone in the second floor toilets changing a lightbulb, when suddenly he heard a female voice coming from one of the empty cubicals shouting "get out!"
