Stafford ghost stories

Thank you!

I've been collecting and publishing Staffordshire Ghost stories for over twenty years. If anyone has a story they would like to share with me - carol.arnall@ntlworld.com or via my website www.carol.arnall.com
The stories can be anything to do with the Paranormal.
Thanks
Carol
BTW, confidentiality is respected.

My website staffordshire ghost club will be up and running again shortly. I'll be including ghost stories from around the area on it.

Have a look in here..

And try the excellent 'Search' function above.

Thanks Gramaisc,
Very helpful and interesting. My mistake, I should have said in my original post that I am looking for new, unpublished stories.
Enjoyed your story.
Thanks again. Carol

Recovered from your birthday?

Oh, cheers. That's so meeeeeee! It's the sort of ghost I like!
Thanks. Carol x

you might like to get in contact with Darker Times Tours - it's a new walking tour company going through the ghost stories in and around Stafford. http://www.darkertimestours.co.uk/

Thank you Vault_girl, I've not heard of them. I'm doing a walk round our town later this year, just a small group of us. It should be a good couple of hours.

Thanks everyone for the ghost stories, fascinating stuff.
I've got the website up. It's small at the moment with only a couple of stories on it.
I'll be putting a local ghost walk up in the next week or so.
Here's the link.

I have been quite scared reading this thread! The last few weeks there have been some strange things happening in my house, the heating has been coming on by itself even tho the thermostat is on zero and the switch is set to off! I have had to switch my heating and water off and just use the emersion until its fixed. That alone wasn't scary but also our kettle has been boiling itself every night around 10 o clock! We will hear a noise as it switches on then when we go into the kitchen it's on and boiling! After reading this thread I am worried we have a ghost so im going to buy a new kettle to see if it continues. Please don't offer any explanation unless it's scientific or I won't be able to sleep!!

Hello Vicky,
Most 'ghostly happenings' have a scientific explanation. I'm pretty certain you will find it's an electrical fault that's causing your problem.
Never ever worry about 'ghost'. A 'ghost' cannot hurt you in anyway whatsoever. How can it? If you think about it in a logical way it isn't there. Our fear is caused more by our imaginations than anything else.
I hope this helps.

No ghost stories but if any house in Stafford is haunted it will be this one:

Not sure if it comes across looking at a photo but walking past it looks as creepy as hell.

As this is Wilford House Care Home, a previous doctors house I believe then there have been many folk pass over to the other side in here over the years! It is a warren of corridors but have never felt threatened or scared in there. However in the middle of the night..........

Anyone who is interested in sharing their ghost story on an interview would be great, please contact my email or phone number 07506776145 or tazzy912@me.com
