The Knowledge Academy said: “Whether it’s the harrowing ghost of Bob Crowther roaming Tyne Theatre or the eerie sounds of the flower girl occupying Castle Keep, Newcastle is a city packed with supernatural folklore. It’s for this reason that Newcastle University finds itself as the highest-ranking North East establishment on our list.
“Founded in 1963, Newcastle’s oldest university is surrounded by no less than 731 listed buildings and 25,744 gravestones. With a final score of 7.18, Newcastle University provides a worthy conclusion to our top 10.”
