Haunted Places of Shropshire

Haunted Places of Shropshire gathers reported ghost stories from across the county, bringing together accounts linked to local buildings, roads and other places. Rupert Matthews presents these tales as a collection of regional haunting traditions, rooted in the locations where they are said to have occurred.

The book is illustrated, giving its survey of Shropshire’s ghost lore a strong sense of place. Rather than treating every story as established fact, it records the claims and narratives that have attached themselves to the county’s landscape. Its focus remains local and place-based, offering a compact account of Shropshire’s reported apparitions and the stories that continue to surround them.
