Black Country Ghosts and Hauntings

Black Country Ghosts and Hauntings catalogues more than 150 reported haunted locations across the Black Country and surrounding parts of the West Midlands. Andrew Homer covers a broad range of sites, including houses, castles, pubs, hotels and other buildings associated with local ghost stories and sightings. The geographical reach extends beyond the area’s sometimes uncertain boundaries to include Drakelow Tunnels in Wolverley and tales from eastern Shropshire near Wolverhampton.

Each entry draws on research undertaken and mapped by Homer over several years. The gazetteer also records buildings that had disappeared by the time of publication, while photographs may show places before later changes. Notes on access distinguish public venues from private homes, with reminders that castles, museums and other attractions may charge admission.
