Haunted Stevenage

Haunted Stevenage gathers reports of ghostly activity from Old Stevenage, New Stevenage and the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside. Paul Adams covers unexplained sightings, local traditions and attempts to find evidence behind the stories, drawing on both historical and contemporary sources.

Among the accounts is Henry Trigg, whose coffin hangs from the roof of a local bank. Other cases involve a spectral monk said to wander the corridors of North Hertfordshire College, an apparition associated with Lady’s Wood and the reported Stevenage Poltergeist. Together, these stories present a compact record of the people, buildings and wooded places connected with Stevenage’s haunted reputation.
