I am working on Spokane, WA pop 500,000 and have had no trouble finding interesting tidbits to use. Check the local paper or police sites for unsolved crimes, every town has local ghost stories or haunted locations Google haunted *city name* or just try this site http://theshadowlands.net/places/ as a starting point. I take my digital camera and drive around looking for creepy local places, think up a story and them mark them on a Google map. This works even better if you have Street View where you live. just some ideas post anything you think of.

That site is perfect. I even found a couple of places in the town where I work that can be used.

I was suprised, it has quite a lot of stuff for the UK, did a bit more reseach and wow. Enough weird goings on around Sheffield to fuel many a campaign.

Sheffield eh? Got to be more interesting than Matlock, I bet.

I gave up Chapel-en-le-frith as a non starter and buxton had potential but since I will be playing with Uni friends it seems sheffield was the much better choice. :D
Still, Matlocks bound to have a big Fae presence, I mean its in Derbyshire and theres a few big peaks and rivers near by right? Wouldnt be too hard to imagine a version of something like the alphas running around in the countryside. If my memory serves a religious retreat centre as well. Sounds like a sound source of True beleivers.
