In the town of Chester, United Kingdom, there's a chocolate store called Thornton's that has a resident ghost. The store chain announced this past March that it would be closing all of their stores this year, but one in particular will apparently be opened all the time, at least for the ghost who lives in it.

The ghost of Thornton's in Chester
A soon-to-be-closed chocolate store in Chester is said to be haunted by a mysterious ghost.
It was announced recently that Thorntons will be closing all 61 of its stores in the UK.
The closures will see both the Cheshire Oaks store and Eastgate Street store in Chester close their doors to customers.
However, what many people don't know is that the site of the Eastgate Street store is the location of an eerie tale.
Folklore says that Sarah, a young lady living on Eastgate Street in the late 18th or early 19th century, fell in love with a man called Wilhelm who ended up jilting her on their wedding day.
Sarah was said to be so devastated at being jilted that she returned to her home and hung herself, causing havoc on the premises ever since.
She has never been physically seen, but it is said she has made her presence very much known over the years.
According to an article called Parascience, chronicling the ghosts of Chester, one of the shop's managers once experienced 'a possession' when staff spotted her coming down the stairs singing an unknown song and holding her hands out as if lifting a long and heavy dress in order to descend the stairs.
The manager can offer no explanation for this, but other strange things continued to occur.
Shortly after this incident, an American tourist who dismissed the stories as 'rubbish,' was immediately pushed down the stairs by an 'invisible hand.'
Then an electrician who went to read the meter in the cellar was not down there for long before he ran back up the stairs.
