The Old Railway Tunnel

The disused railway tunnel which runs under the town is believed to be haunted.
During the last war when the tunnel was still use, the entrance was guarded by mambers of the home guard. One night while on guard duty ,a young soldier saw a ghostly figure coming towards him out of the tunnel. He experienced a feeling of extreme terror which prompted to aim his rifle at the figure. He remained rooted to the spot for what seemed to be hours as the figure moved closer until it disappeared.
Since the closure of the tunnel it has been used as a playground by local children. One bonfire night while playing with fierworks in the tunnel a ghostly, brightly figure came towards a group of children, who ran away in terror, vowing never to enter the tunnel again.
During the tunnel construction a workman was run over by a cart and suffered fatal injuries. Perhaps it is he who walks the tunnel.

The Crown And Raven Hotel (Now The Crown)

The landlord and landlady who were running the Crown and Raven some years ago had heard that it was haunted when they moved in but were a bit scepical.A woman who claimed to be a medium came to the pub and was unwilling to go into the catering kitchen. People have also felt cold spots in the pub. The landlady has heard that there are supposed to be two ghosts at the Raven, although she has never seen either of them. One ghost is supposed to be of a girl called Evaand the second ghost is to be that of a cavalier.
Mr Les Stewart, a past landlord of the Crown and Raven, never saw anything whilst he was there, but there was always a lot of noise at night which could not be accounted for, including footsteps. The compressed air would also switch itself off on its own occasionally. A past landlady at the pub Mrs Chris Sandy,also had a few strange experiences. She had two Alsatian dogs when she moved in but the dogs not go into the upstairs flat. They would sit outside the door with their fur on end and refuse to move. Also the bathroom light kept switching on by itself. Mrs Sandy down one morning at about 7.30 am. She had employed a man part time to come in early to do the bottling up. He commented, when she said good morning that she was a bit more socialble than the young woman he had seen earlier. He said the woman had come in and gone behind the bar and when he spoke to her, she had ignored him. Mrs Sandy was unable to account for this strange woman because because she had no one stayingwith her at the time.
Most of the experiences seemed to happen in the Crown part of the pub, Mrs Sandy and some friends held a seance one evening and they received a message from a young girl. She said she was 19 years old and was a chambermaid [the property used to be a hotel]. She was engaged to a man but found out that he was having an affair with someone else. She killed other girl and was executed for murder.

The Old Carpet Factory Abanazers Cottage

Abanazer's Cottage is situated in Ebenezer Row, Bridgnorth. Mr John Furness has owned the property since 1985. The cottage has been occupied continuously since it was built 1810.The occupant before Mr Furness was a little old man who lived alone and would not open the door to anyone.
Mr Furness spent the first year working on the cottage, making it habitable. He would stay late at night and on two occasions he passed the little old man on the stairs and walked straight through him.Since living in the cottage he has felt the old mans presence many times.The ghost appears to live in the attic and shuffled around at night. Mr Furness's girlfriend also saw Charlie, as they call him, and hears him shuffle around at night.
Mr Furness says that Charlie is no trouble at all and his theory is that the old man was so safe in the cottage that upon his death he was reluctant to leave the safety of the cottage and will remain there until he is ready to move on.

Bassa Villa Restaurant

A plaque in the 16th century Bassa Villa Restaurant (Formely Magpie House) at the bottom of Bridgnorth’s Cartway tells of a mother’s undying love for her two dead offspring, tragic victims of chance…and an innocent children’s game.
In the 1600’s the girl, Charlotte and boy, William were playing Hide and Seek and were inadvertently locked in the cellar of the Magpie House, which is close to the River Severn. Trapped, they had no means of escape when the river, high in flood, suddenly burst its banks, flooding the cellar and drowning the unfortunate children. The grief-stricken parents erected two marble images of the children, which can still be seen in the Terrace Gardens. But images of stone cannot replace flesh and blood, nor ease a grieving mother’s heart.
The Black Lady has been seen walking the house still, her soul tormented by the tragic loss. She cries, softly whimpering her sadness, or has been heard laughing gently in remembrance of happier times.

No.11 High Street, Bridgnorth

Now housing Bryan & Knott, 11 High Street was built in the early 1700's and was formerly a sweet shop with living quarters on the first floor. The only history of the premises reports a possible suicide on the first floor but the date of such an event can not be verified.

The first recorded event is that of a cleaning lady who used to look after the first floor became so unsettled with first floor she asked a friend to help her. When her friend came with her she brought her dog, the dog became so anxious on entering the building it would not follow her up the stairs.

The second event relates to two decorators who were employed to decorate the rooms on the first floor at night. One of the decorators fell asleep on the settee in the living room and was woken suddenly by what he thought was his friend shaking him. However he was alone in the room and his friend was working up a ladder in the corridor at the other side of the building.
