Haunted Telford (Paperback, New)

Although it is the largest town in Shropshire, you probably wouldn't think there would be many ghosts lurking in the new town of Telford. However, the smaller settlements that formed the new town were founded in the thirteenth century and so Telford plays host to many spirits from the past. The surrounding areas of Ironbridge Gorge and Coalbrookdale are haunted by numerous ghostly apparitions that appear to date from the time of the Industrial Revolution. From heart-stopping accounts of apparitions, manifestations, and related supernatural phenomena to first-hand encounters with spirits, this collection of stories contains both new and well-known spooky stories from in and around Telford. It is sure to fascinate anyone with an interest in the area's history.
