More sightings have been reported of a mysterious hooded figure who has been seen wandering around the streets of Chester.

Earlier this week we reported that the strange figure had been spotted a number of times in various parts of the city over the past few months, most often at night.

'The Plague Doctor', as he/she is referred to, never makes a sound, and roams the streets in silence.

Nobody seems to know who the figure is or where it has come from and its presence has left everyone mystified, including media outlets such as The Daily Mirror, the Liverpool Echo and all of us here at the Chester Chronicle.

Many Cestrians have shared their own sightings of the figure with us, in different parts of the city, including one who said she had seen him peering through a window.

It has most commonly been referred to as a Plague Doctor, someone who would use walking sticks to examine patients from a distance during plague epidemics in the 16th and 17th centuries.
