THE BROADWAY
DUDLEY
WEST MIDLANDS
DY1 4QB
Dudley Castle in the West Midlands has a long history of
hauntings and there are many ghosts and stories associated with the
Castle. There have been reports of paranormal activity here for hundreds
of years from staff and visitors alike and you are invited to spend the
night within its walls to discover for yourself the ghosts and spirits
that reside here
Originally built around 1071 and recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086,
the Castle has passed through the hands of many families and also
suffered greatly as the result of many battles. John Dudley (the man
executed by Mary I for plotting to bring Lady Jane Grey to the Throne in
her place) was present here in 1536 during the height of his power and
the Castle eventually suffered its last tragic blow during the Civil War
when the Royalist Soldiers were defeated by Cromwell and the Castle was
‘slighted’. Much bloodshed and misery has occurred on this land and
there are now many ghost stories associated with Dudley Castle which
seem reluctant to go away.
The most famous haunting is that of The Grey Lady who is often seen by
staff and visitors alike walking the grounds of the Castle, and people
have also reported hearing a cat meowing up on the Keep from where it is
believed a local witch and her cat were thrown to their deaths below.
Extreme drops in temperature, a menacing male spirit and even
Poltergeist activity have all been encountered here at Dudley Castle and
people have reported hearing drumming from the Castle Keep which is
thought to be associated with a young Drummer Boy killed by a single
bullet during the Civil War.
