The Haunted Madeley Court Hotel, Shropshire

Ghosts of Madeley Court Hotel

A regularly reported sighting at Mercure Hotel Telford (formerly named Madeley Court Hotel) is that of a monk that is seen moving slowly across the grounds. Hood up and head down he ignores any attempt at communication and then slowly disappears into thin air.

Other reports of similar activity have been seen on the top floor where members of staff and guests have reported seeing maids dressed in Victorian attire quietly going about their business cleaning the floors. Upon sighting, and attempts to communicate, they simply fade away into thin air or mysteriously disappear.

Another area in which there have been reports of paranormal activity is that of the old mill. This area is now used for many private functions held by the hotel and has been the source of disembodied laughter, and violent poltergeist activities were chairs and tables would move without any explanation.
