As one who wandered the streets, alleyways, nooks and crannies of the whole of Shrewsbury for many, many years and knew it (and still do) better than the back of my hand, I can assure you that there are no ghosts or other weirdos in any form, anywhere to be found in the town.
The nearest I came to meeting an apparition was at 3.0am one freezing cold wet winters night in 1968 when a shape dressed in a Police uniform and covered from head to foot in coal dust emerged from the coke shute at the back of the Priory Boy’s Grammar School having been disturbed from his slumbers in the bowels of the school’s cellars.
