ITV’s Famous Haunted WWII Wheelchair Finds A New Home At The Haunted Objects Museum
Historic Wartime Artefact Acquired By Ghosts Of Britain Founder Lee Steer For £350
One of Britain’s most famous allegedly haunted objects has begun a new chapter in its extraordinary history after being acquired by paranormal investigator Lee Steer and permanently relocated to The Haunted Objects Museum at Poltergeist House in Rotherham.
The World War II wheelchair, which gained national attention after appearing on ITV’s This Morning, was recently secured at auction for £350 and now forms part of the museum’s growing collection of haunted and historically significant artefacts. The object will be preserved and investigated by the Ghosts of Britain team while remaining on public display for visitors interested in the paranormal.
A Chair With A Wartime Past
According to its reported history, the wheelchair dates back to the Second World War and was used within a military hospital treating wounded servicemen returning from conflict. During the war years, thousands of injured soldiers passed through military medical facilities across Britain, many carrying both physical and emotional scars from their experiences.
The wheelchair’s reputation has grown over the decades due to claims that it was used by numerous wounded soldiers, some of whom reportedly never recovered from their injuries. Paranormal researchers and previous custodians have long suggested that the intense emotions associated with wartime suffering may somehow be linked to the strange experiences reported around the chair.
While much of the chair’s early documented history remains difficult to verify, its connection to Britain’s wartime medical history has become an important part of the legend that surrounds it.
The Hauntings And Strange Reports
The wheelchair became widely known in paranormal circles after numerous reports of unusual sensations experienced by those who sat in or stood near it.
Previous investigators have claimed that visitors often reported cold sensations, feelings of heaviness, unexplained discomfort, and strange sensations affecting their legs. Some have described feeling as though an injury was present despite being perfectly healthy.
During its famous appearance on ITV’s This Morning, paranormal collector Neil Packer discussed claims surrounding the wheelchair, including reports from individuals who believed they had experienced unusual physical sensations while sitting in it. The object quickly became one of the most talked-about items featured on the programme.
As with all paranormal claims, there is no scientific evidence proving the wheelchair is haunted. However, its reputation has continued to grow due to the consistency of witness reports over many years.
Arrival At Poltergeist House
The wheelchair has now completed its latest journey and arrived safely at The Haunted Objects Museum inside Poltergeist House, Rotherham.
Its arrival marks another significant addition to the museum’s collection and strengthens its position as one of Britain’s most unique destinations for paranormal enthusiasts. The object will be displayed alongside other famous haunted artefacts investigated and preserved by Ghosts of Britain and Paranormal Magazine.
For Lee Steer, the acquisition represents not only the preservation of an important piece of paranormal history but also an opportunity to continue documenting reports and experiences connected to the object.
What Happens Next?
Over the coming days, the Ghosts of Britain team will begin a period of observation and documentation as the wheelchair settles into its new environment.
Visitors can expect regular updates, photographs, video investigations and witness reports as the object is monitored within the museum. Any unusual experiences reported by staff, investigators or visitors will be carefully recorded as part of an ongoing study into the chair’s reputation.
The first few days following the arrival of a historically significant haunted object are often among the most interesting. New surroundings, new witnesses and fresh investigations can sometimes bring unexpected results.
Whether the wheelchair’s reputation is rooted in genuine paranormal activity, psychological suggestion, or a combination of both remains open to debate.
What is certain is that one of Britain’s most famous haunted artefacts has now found a permanent home in Rotherham.
And for paranormal enthusiasts across the UK, all eyes will be on Poltergeist House to see what happens next.

Podcast Episode: Britain’s Haunted Bridal Doll
Pip: Welcome to Paranormal Magazine UK — where even a train journey to a morning chat show can apparently become a paranormal incident report.
Mara: Today we’re looking at a story that’s been building for over a decade in British paranormal circles — a haunted bridal doll named Elizabeth, her growing media footprint, and the recurring question of whether she belongs in the same conversation as Annabelle. projectreveal has been tracking this case closely.
Pip: Let’s start with the strangest stop on Elizabeth’s itinerary — St Pancras station.
Elizabeth and the Haunted Doll Legend
Mara: The central claim here is that Elizabeth doesn’t just cause strange events in haunted locations — the disturbances seem to travel with her. The St Pancras incident is the sharpest example of that pattern.
Pip: The post lays out the backstory plainly: Elizabeth was heading to London for an ITV This Morning appearance, and the trip itself became the story. The post notes that “reports linked to the trip included hotel lighting problems, alarms activating while travelling, and a strange moment at London’s St Pancras station where platform display boards reportedly began showing repeated delays as the doll passed through.”
Mara: So the upshot is that it wasn’t one anomaly in a controlled setting — it was a sequence of reported disruptions across an entire journey, in public, mundane spaces.
Pip: And the post is careful not to oversell it. Train screens fail. Systems glitch. The rational explanation is right there on the page. What makes the St Pancras moment stick is that it lands inside a much longer list — fire alarms, flickering lights, recording equipment malfunctioning, phones freezing — that follows Elizabeth wherever she goes. One data point is noise; a pattern is harder to dismiss.
Mara: Right, and that pattern is exactly what the broader coverage is amplifying. A separate piece covers how Manchester Evening News and Yorkshire Live recently featured Elizabeth, bringing the case to a new audience entirely. The post makes the point that “more than a decade after the story first emerged, fascination with Elizabeth remains as strong as ever.”
Pip: A haunted doll with genuine regional press staying power — Annabelle’s publicist must be nervous.
Mara: The Annabelle comparison is actually the explicit frame of a third piece, which asks whether Elizabeth might be more haunted than the Warren doll. It focuses on footage from the YouTube channel Paranormal Tapes, where an investigator uses an EVP spirit box to question Elizabeth — and gets back what the post describes as “a chilling, direct, and hostile message from the other side: Stop recording.”
Pip: That’s a more decisive answer than most press junkets produce.
Mara: The piece notes that unlike Annabelle’s soft Raggedy Ann form, Elizabeth is an ornate bridal doll — pale face, glass case — and argues the aggression of that response puts her in serious contention for the title. Believers point to the volume and consistency of reports; sceptics point to suggestion and expectation. The St Pancras post lands somewhere in between, calling it “one of the most unusual public moments linked to Elizabeth” precisely because it happened in the open, not in a curated paranormal setting.
Pip: The legend grows whether or not the screens were actually her fault — and that tension between evidence and atmosphere is where the story lives.
Mara: What’s striking across all of this is the longevity. Most paranormal stories peak and fade. Elizabeth keeps generating new headlines, new audiences, new incidents.
Pip: Same question, new stations. We’ll see what follows her next.

Is Britain’s most haunted doll genuinely haunted, or is she simply one of the most fascinating paranormal legends of modern times?
A Story That Refuses To Go Away
Unlike many paranormal stories that briefly capture public attention before disappearing, Elizabeth has continued generating headlines, investigations and public discussion for years.
The doll first gained notoriety after reports of unexplained activity linked to previous ownership. Since then, the story has expanded through paranormal investigations, witness testimonies, television appearances and social media coverage.
Over the years, visitors and investigators have reported a variety of strange experiences while in the doll’s presence, including unexplained scratches, feelings of unease, emotional reactions and other incidents that believers argue cannot be easily explained.
While sceptics maintain that psychological factors and suggestion may play a role in such experiences, the volume of reports has helped cement Elizabeth’s reputation as one of Britain’s most controversial haunted objects.

The latest media coverage is simply the newest chapter in a story that continues to evolve.

Regardless of where people stand on the debate, one thing remains clear:
Elizabeth continues to generate discussion, attract media attention and capture public imagination in a way few haunted objects ever achieve.

Is This Bridal Doll More Haunted Than Annabelle? Meet “Elizabeth”
Meta Description: Discover the chilling footage of “Elizabeth,” a vintage bridal doll that paranormal investigators claim might be the world’s most haunted doll. Watch the terrifying encounter here!
Welcome back, paranormal enthusiasts! Here at Paranormal Magazine, we are constantly scouring the darkest corners of the web to bring you the most spine-chilling evidence of the supernatural. Today, we are diving into a piece of footage that has the paranormal community buzzing.
Move over, Annabelle—there’s a terrifying new haunted doll in town, and her name is Elizabeth.
The Chilling Footage from ‘Paranormal Tapes’
A recent clip uploaded by the YouTube channel Paranormal Tapes has caught our attention, and it is not for the faint of heart. The video showcases a highly unsettling encounter with a vintage bridal doll kept strictly behind a glass display case.
In the eerie short film, a paranormal investigator attempts to communicate directly with the spirit attached to the doll. Holding an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) spirit box device, she bravely asks Elizabeth a series of questions:
- “Do you like sharing this room with this?”
- “Tell me, Elizabeth.”
- “Can you see me?”
The tension in the room is palpable. Suddenly, an unexplained audio anomaly comes through the device, prompting a chilling, direct, and hostile message from the other side: “Stop recording.”
Annabelle vs. Elizabeth: Which Doll is Truly the Most Haunted?
For years, the infamous Annabelle doll—investigated by the legendary demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren—has firmly held the title of the world’s most terrifying possessed object. However, the sheer malevolence captured in this brief encounter with Elizabeth has many wondering if this UK bridal doll might just take the crown.
Unlike the soft Raggedy Ann doll that inspired The Conjuring universe, Elizabeth is an ornate, traditional bridal doll. Her pale face and dead-eyed stare make her presence incredibly unsettling. Furthermore, the instant, aggressive response captured on the spirit box suggests a highly active and potentially malicious entity is attached to the object.
What Do You Think?
Is Elizabeth truly the world’s most haunted doll? We want to hear from you!
Watch the footage from Paranormal Tapes for yourself and let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Did you catch any other strange anomalies in the video? Do you think this bridal doll is more dangerous than the legendary Annabelle?
