Jessica’s Sweet Shop, 26 Westgate Street
Timber‑framed historic merchant’s house; now a sweet shop hiding a dark, haunted past.

👻 Hauntings

• 👧 Phantom Children: Seen darting between sweet displays, their laughter cut short.

• 😠 Angry Man: Malicious, imposing figure who terrifies children and living visitors; strongest, most suffocating presence in the dreaded cellar — staff refuse to enter alone.

• 👗 Restless Women: Two or three figures in old‑style dress wander the rooms, full of unease.

• 🧊 Physical Phenomena: Breath felt on ears, hair tugged near fridges; intense “watched” feeling in the toilets.

Happy Gloucester Day! On this day in 1643, the end of The Siege Of Gloucester happened, the day when the tide turned for the Parliamentarians, and the beginning of the end for the Royalists. 400 years later, we still celebrate it, as this was also the beginnings of the army. Not bad for a small city, that was “saved by god”.

McDonald’s, Westgate Street
Once Gloucester Old Bank (est.1716), home to James “Jemmy” Wood (1760–1836) – “The Gloucester Miser”. He amassed £900k yet lived in extreme poverty, said to inspire Dickens’ Scrooge. The 18th‑century counting house still retains its historic feel.

👻 Hauntings

• 🚪 Doorway Guardian: Jemmy seen standing in the entrance, watching passersby; his spirit hisses “Ssh!” for quiet, or touches necks/ears with a cold hand.

• ❄️ Staff Areas: Fridges feel cold & breath is felt on necks; hair tugged when alone.

• 👦 Young Boy: Small figure seen – thought to be Jemmy as a child.

• 👁️ Watched Feeling: Cold, heavy atmosphere in corridors & toilets; constant sense of being observed.

He lingers, protective of his old domain and annoyed by modern noise.

Everytime I tell this story, be it on a live or a video, it creeps me out, and I hate the lane more and more

St John’s Northgate Church
One of Gloucester’s oldest sites, standing near the old North Gate and worshipped in for over 1,000 years — also the world’s oldest continuously used Methodist place of worship. Founded c.931 by King Athelstan, with Roman stonework and Saxon remains in its foundations; rebuilt 1732–34 in Gothick style but retaining its 14th‑century tower and spire.

During the 1643 Siege of Gloucester, it held soldiers and served as a lookout. Spirits of Parliamentarian defenders are said to pace the tower, still watching for Royalist troops.

Hauntings & Phenomena

• 🧒 Sunday School echoes: Faint sounds of children reciting lessons — linked to its role as birthplace of the Sunday School movement.

• 🎤 Phantom Preacher: A commanding presence in the pulpit; glimpses of an 18th‑century cleric (like Wesley or Whitefield) that vanish when seen directly.

• ❄️ Tower Cold Spots: Sharp temperature drops, heavy air, and feeling watched while climbing the stairs.

• 💬 Whispers in the Hall: Built over part of an old graveyard; soft whispers heard late at night, and workers once felt ‘unwelcome’ during construction.

Layers of Saxon, medieval, Georgian and religious history make time feel thin here — a spiritually rich place where echoes of the past remain close.

Quaker Meeting House, Greyfriars
Built 1834–35 by architect Samuel Whitfield Daukes; a simple, dignified red‑brick building reflecting Quaker values. Quakers met in Gloucester from the 1600s, often persecuted. Stands on 800‑year‑old spiritual ground within the Franciscan Greyfriars precinct, next to priory ruins and old city walls. Has a plain, equalitarian burial ground with no ornate markers.

Hauntings

• 🧑‍🦱 Grey Friar: Figure in a rough grey habit glides across the burial ground grass then vanishes into the priory walls.

• 🤫 Heavy Silence: Unnaturally still atmosphere; modern city sounds fade, replaced by a strong sense of being watched.

• ⚔️ Civil War Shadows: Shadowy figures dart between trees—spirits of soldiers from the 1643 Siege of Gloucester.

• 👣 Disappearing Footsteps: Purposeful steps heard on gravel or floorboards when empty; like people heading to old meetings.

• 😢 Weeping Woman: At night, soft crying drifts over from the haunted Greyfriars ruins.

Episode 3 is Murder & Crime in Victorian Gloucester. Though one isn’t a murder, it is a survival. There’s 2 people I’m struggling to find where they’re buried, but the others are buried at Tredworth Cemetery.

Bull Lane
Narrow, atmospheric alley linking Westgate Street to Longsmith Street – heart of Gloucester’s Darker Echoes, where gritty history and tragedy linger.

👻 Hauntings

• Mary Palmer & Miss Blunt: Wealthy Miss Blunt was murdered; maid Mary was wrongly hanged, later exonerated by a deathbed confession. Miss Blunt is seen rocking in a phantom chair at the spot her portrait once hung.

• Executioner’s Echo: Rhythmic chop‑thud‑bounce sounds recorded – echoes of old public executions. Extreme EM fields; compasses spin; CCTV catches shadow figures as dark voids.

• Brothel Murder: Man with head wound & blood seen running from the BT building site, chased by two spectral heavies – replay of an 18th/19th‑century attack. Top‑floor residents hear pacing boots above.

A place where narrow streets trap shadow and sound; the past plays on like a broken recording.

She’ll always be Mrs H to me 🥰

St Nicholas Church, Westgate Street
Historic landmark with a leaning tower (2.5 ft) and truncated spire – damaged by Royalist cannon fire in the 1643 Siege. North door has a replica 14th‑century sanctuary knocker; original is in the museum. Birthplace of Button Gwinnett (1735), signatory to the US Declaration of Independence; his father was the vicar here. Now redundant, cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.

👻 Hauntings & Legends

• 🧑‍🦱 The Monk: Hooded figure near the north porch; linked to a chaplain who lived here in 1415. Opposite building once reported a robed spirit & violent poltergeist.

• 🪦 Murdered Mason: Killed in a 1440 graveyard brawl; agitation & distant struggle sounds still felt near the old burial ground site.

• ⚔️ Civil War Echoes: Whistling sounds (incoming fire) & shadowy 17th‑century figures ducking behind buttresses.

• 🔔 Sanctuary Watcher: Spirit of one who failed to reach safety in time; intense “watched” feeling & sudden chills by the door. Boy’s face also seen in a window.

• ⏳ Ancient Ground: Built over pre‑Christian burials & soft river soil – heavy, layered atmosphere.

• 🕯️ Lonely Toll: Bells heard to chime one slow note on quiet nights, though silent since 1967.
