What are the most haunted places in Dudley west Midlands?
Dudley Castle stands over the town on a great limestone hill, one of the highest points in the West Midlands. It is now a ruin, partly because some of its owners over the centuries rebelled against the Crown. In the Civil War however, the castle was a Royalist stronghold which was besieged and badly damaged in 1646. During the Industrial Revolution coalmines and limestone quarries were cut deep beneath the castle, with many miners suffering injury and death. The workers were served by a 3, 172 yard canal tunnel with basins and branches. The Castle and grounds are now a zoo, but with such a history it is not surprising that it is one of the most haunted places in the Midlands.
