Mapping Shropshire’s ghosts
Thursday 29th October 2009, 5:00AM GMT.
Ghouls, ghosts and things that go bump in the night — but where? And have you encountered them?
We’re trying to create the definitive ghost map of Shropshire, but we need your help.
If you’ve encountered the spirits said to reside at Ludlow Castle, or found yourself sharing a room with a phantom at Shrewsbury’s Prince Rupert Hotel, tell your tale here.
There are dozens of Shropshire ghost stories, some — such as the Wem ghost or the spirit haunting Bridgnorth’s Theatre on the Steps — are well-known, but there are other tales — such as the phantom walker seen near Allscott — that are news even to life-long residents.
So, if you’ve a tale to tell for Halloween, tell it here, and help us to build the definitive map of spooky Shropshire.

We had a ghost in our old house in Haybridge Road, Hadley. It was a highwayman who shot at my dad one night. Our house was built on an old coaching route. Horse and carriages have also been heard and sometimes seen.

We lived in a haunted cottage in Bridgnorth for three years. We heard footsteps upstairs when there was no-one there, doors opened and closed, and lights switched themselves on and off. Our young daughter told of a little old man and a boy who sometimes came into her bedroom at night. The man used to look down at her; and the boy peered through the side of her cot – just as a child would do.
