'The ghost of the old lady'
This is the last place where you would expect to find a ghost story because this is a very modern superstore that has many shoppers through its doors daily and it is not an old building. There are many ghost stories that come from this store, the stories are similar as it is only one ghost that haunts the building, and this is a ghost of an old lady that many local people here about. There has been a lot of sightings of this old lady; she does a lot of waving and smiling at people. One morning at 4am a member of staff came in to open the store, he saw the old lady as he was unlocking the fire exits, the old lady was stood there waving at him, the lady appeared so clear that the man waved back thinking it was a customer only to suddenly realize that it was 4 am in the morning and no one was in there shopping! The man walked over to the lady to ask her to leave the store and found that she simply disappeared into thin air.
A similar story was when the manager once saw the old lady in the corner of her eye, the manager asked her to go and do something, obviously thinking it was a member of staff, after this a member of staff popped her head around the corner and asked the manager who she was speaking to, the manager looked to where she saw the old lady only to find that she had gone. The staff who work in Sainsbury's say that there is a presence and a feeling of being watched but the ghost seems to be a nice, friendly spirit. Sainsbury's supermarket was built on the old Barton Railway Station, in 1934 a G. V Bennett was in charge, the station was used for goods as well.
