The Shrieves House – 40 Sheep Street now known as ‘The Falstaff Experience’ has been cited as “the most haunted building in England” by author Terry Deary. Hundreds of investigations have taken place, including investigations by Most Haunted. Derek Acorah described it as “one of the most frightened I have ever encountered”. Ian Lawman from Living with the Dead called it a “scary place” and Phillip Soloman, psychic to the Presley family said it was “one of the most haunted places I have ever visited”. But just what spirits haunt this building?
There are said to be more than 40 spirits residing within the building, with visitors reporting experiences to the staff on a daily basis. There are a number of ‘dominant’ spirits said to be active in the property: an archer from the time of Henry VIII; a serial murderer from the 18th century (some people are calling the ‘Stratford Ripper’ to make him sound more dramatic!); a little girl who was a pickpocket in the tavern; a Catholic gentleman from the time of the reformation and a justice of the peace who used his power to run an extortion ring with threats, violence and trumped up charges. There are also sightings of the parliamentary soldiers (although it is more common to experience their injuries); the victims of the serial murderer; children and animals. During certain times of year a dark hooded figure with red glowing eyes, who is said to be a very ancient spirit, stands back and watches everyone.
