The tale went on to tell of a sad tale of a young girl who fell in love with a man her family disapproved of. The girl continued to see the man after her family had forbidden there love. When they found out she was locked in the cellar of the building and sadly staved to death.
We moved on to an old church yard in the centre of Shrewsbury. It is said the devil has climbed to the top of the steeple and looked over to The Stiperstones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiperstones
Shropshire Devil Chair. If there is someone sitting on the chair thunder and lightening strikes over Shrewsbury. http://www.bbc.co.uk/shropshire/content/panoramas/stipertones_devils_chair_360.shtml
The tales went on we were told of the steeplejack who climbed the steeple and fell to his death. Another told of a ghostly figure who walks from the church yard across the street to the shops opposite. The tall gentleman watches the staff before walking through the wall at the back of the shop. The staff feel he is watching checking up on their work.

We moved on to near where the old post office is a old medieval soldier is said to haunt the building. Opposite is the home of WHS the store room below the main floor is said to have paranormal happenings. Cold feelings when staff are down there at time. Face are also seen in the upper windows of the buildings. The top part used to be a ball room and the ghostly figures return now and then to where they was used to dance.
Next stop was near to the library, A group of houses stand in a court yard. This area was said to have been a prison in the past possible for children. A resident claims to have felt a presence in a flat they have on site.
We move on to were the council house is near to the castle. Further up the road is were a new dentist has opened up. Receptionists have hear ed noises from the waiting room when no one is there.

We walked on to the site of the old Shrewsbury hospital. The old hospital is now the site of a range of shops and flats above. The shops they say are the home of a ghostly matron and a range of doctors and patients.
