STAPENHILL HALLOWEEN GHOST WALK

STAPENHILL HALLOWEEN GHOST WALK

Stapenhill now a suburb of Burton upon Trent but once a small quaint village in Derbyshire England. Not the place for us to write a new ghost walk you would think

Stapenhill means “steep hill ” in old Anglo Saxon. A location so well thought of by the Anglo Saxons. It was their graveyard . So a place with a lot of potential for ghost. Attracted those by stories of vampires and witches in this small once village we started to research.

This included asking my good friend psychic medium Ian Griffiths to undertake a psychic walk with me prior to writing the script. This was to be a shock because although I knew that Stapenhill was very haunted. I did not realize how much.

AS well the ghost legend Alice Goodridge (the Stapenhill witch ) talked about on the Burton ghost walk. The legendary Drakelow vampire who according to local legend resting place is in Stapenhill. There is a lot more spirits in this location. Including a ghost ship, the blue lady, sad Victorian girl to name a few.

The Shapira scroll

On research into the walk it was not only to find a lot of Ghosts and of course a lot of stories to go along with them. It was to also find a large amount of mysteries and secrets. This included connections with the peaky blinders but also the American mafia. A secret sealed room and one of the greatest mysteries of all time and antiquity of the world the Shapira scroll.

On this walk we are lucky enough to have Anthony Gregory well known local author writing of Mods and ex-Mods of the 1979 Revival! and Life on the Leicester line. Had a paranormal experiences in the past. He is going to tell his own true paranormal encounters on the walk.
