Its approaching that time of year again, the leaves are changing colour, it’s getting darker in an evening. Halloween is fast approaching, but do you feel in the spooky mood? Maybe the biggest scare you have seen is the piles of unused clutter stacked high in your spare room or garage.
We have some spooky suggestions for you that can help with your storage needs and also will help you get in the mood for halloween.
Storage ideas with no scare involved
- As a good housekeeping practice, we recommend that you wipe down your items/decorations or give them a clean before storing them.
- Make sure to try and organise your items: the most effective way is to label your belongings. Go buy some sticky labels and categorise your boxes and belongings or even just write on the box what is inside.
- Dismantle large items, this may sound like a lot of effort but by dismantling your large items you can create more space for you to store!
- Make sure you thoroughly clean your halloween costumes before storing it. The last thing you want is to pull it out next year and find pumpkin carving residue all over it.
- As well as using cardboard boxes to store your items, you could also use translucent boxes. This will help you be able to access the items that you need quickly.
- To truly maximise your floor space in your storage unit or storage container, you might consider opting for some shelves. This will help to keep you organised by having specific halloween items for different levels on the shelves. You can always measure your free space to find out what shelving is best for you.
- A little tip for transporting your items, make sure you protect your items in transit. use the appropriate amount of bubble wrap, newspaper or soft towels.

Now as promised something to get you in the spooky mood. Let us tell you about a haunted storage unit that might give you a fright. We can all imagine a self storage unit at night may be a little spooky, all those items with all those memories stored away in giant metal coffins. There is a self storage unit called Armadillo self storage facility which is claimed to be one of the scariest haunted places in Sheffield. The self storage facility has not been there long, but on the same spot of land use to lay an old cinema. Reports suggest that there has been eerie sightings tied to its former manager, Mr Porter. There has been multiple sightings of the late Mr Porter at the self storage facility; he sometimes appears as a strange, ethereal vision, vibrations in the floor, flashing lights or simply an old man walking around. It has been reported that Mr Porter used to run the projector in the cinema, and on multiple occasions, strange sounds have been heard coming from the old projector room. Spooky stuff!
