Corve Street, Ludlow
Once the site of a Grey Friars Priory with links to St Leonard's Church, this
street now has the reputation of being haunted.
A nurse called Evelyn Sheppard had a strange experience there in 1971.
"In front of me was a refined-looking gentleman wearing the style of clothes
associated with the caricature of John Bull. He was hurrying toward St Leonard's Chapel,
hesitated and suddenly faded away on reaching the burial ground there.
There was nothing frightening about the figure, or his vanishing.
It was just puzzling. The time was early evening and there were not many people about".
It has also been noted that whilst dogs are being walked down Corve Street they become
uncharacteristically unnerved.

Globe Inn, Ludlow
Reputedly haunted by Edward Dobson, a Tudor soldier garrisoned at Ludlow Castle.
He died in a pub brawl circa 1553 and his ghost now appears hovering over the spot where
he fell. The apparition is described as wearing a cloak and a wig. A Birmingham business
man staying at the Globe Inn also met a figure on the second story around 2.00am.
He wished the figure goodnight. The next day he discovered that no other guests were
staying at the Inn and nobody knew who this figure was.
St Lawrence's Churchyard, Ludlow
Supposedly haunted by an old woman, wearing a long robe and having grey hair.
She moves through the churchyard between the graves and also near the rectory.
It has been suggested that she may be more popular on summer evenings.
