We both said that it was a lovely way to pass an hour an a half.
I enjoyed it not only for the history of the town as much as for the ghost info....although afterwards we went into Pizza Express and asked the staff if "George" was around tonight...they laughed and knew exactly what we were talking about.

I went on a Stafford ghost walk a few years ago and I seem to remember them saying something about a ghost in superdrug, something along the lines of it being the ghost of a maid that worked in the hotel where superdrug is now.
Old bbc article about haunted Stafford that people may find interesting although couldn't find anything on superdrug

Yes they did....about how the manager locked up one night, started to walk to his car and realised he had forgotten something and when he went back lots of the stock has been cleared from the shelves to the floor. No sign of a break in or intruders and he had hardly been gone a minute. Apparantly the stock moving around was quite common.
OOHHH @Floss67 ...what was your strange experience?

Why are so many ghosts called George? It must be very confusing on the other side.
Carole

Because George was a popular name?
Its probably no more confusing for all the ghosts called George, Mary , Elizabeth or Albert than it will be for the ghosts 100 years from now that answer to the names of Kylie, Chardonay, Rhianna, Alesha Kardashion, Google, Zayne, hashtag and Nicky Azalea.

One early Saturday morning popped into super drug and as we walked down second to last aisle towards tills the stock started flying off the shelves like it was being pushed from behind the girl behind counter saw it too and said it often happens and said none of the staff liked to go upstairs on their own. We couldn't explain it, but it's not the first ghost I've experienced in stafford I seen the white lady in the Shrewsbury arms and had a horrible experience in the cellar as felt something like it walked right through me took my breath away for few moments. The white lady walked through lounge one night whilst waiting to lock up witnesses by one other customer we looked at one another and I said did you see....and he said wtf was that, but it was a funeral parlour years ago. The experience down the cellar was often felt by the manager at the time of the legion next door he would often turn the lights on and walk through the building to get half way and have them turn off ad the switch would have moved so not an electrical fault.

I'm trying to remember the route now:
The Swan (Priest hole, Dunking pool)
Supernews (The Jolly Bacchus - which didn't sound all the jolly at all)
Superdrug (See above)
Country Fruits (for the Lavander Lady)
The Soup Kitchen (Monks, small children & Ethel)
The Surgery (Cat called WIlliam & humans)
Pizza Express (George & Crying woman)
The Gatehouse (Suffragette)
New Council Buildings (witches jar)
The Market Vaults (The Chains)
--- My Friend also told us about ghostly going on on the top floor of Bates Tackle when it was Rupunzels --
The Shire Hall (Ghosts + associated grizzily deaths)
The High House (Children, Withered arm ladies, Victorian folks)
I think that's it...

Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the Stafford area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
Thats a big twinkie!
