Dudley College, located in Dudley, West Midlands, England, was established in 1862 as the Dudley Mechanics’ Institute. The college’s main building, constructed in the 1930s, stands on The Broadway, a site with a rich history dating back to medieval times. During World War II, the college served as a temporary hospital for wounded soldiers.

Over the years, staff and students have reported numerous ghostly encounters within the college premises. One of the most frequently sighted apparitions is that of a young woman in Victorian-era clothing, often seen wandering the corridors of the main building. Witnesses describe her as appearing lost or confused before vanishing into thin air.

Another recurring paranormal phenomenon involves unexplained footsteps echoing through empty hallways, particularly late at night when the building is nearly deserted. Some staff members have reported feeling an unseen presence watching them while working alone in offices or classrooms.

The college’s old science laboratory has been the site of several eerie incidents. Students and teachers have reported equipment moving on its own, test tubes inexplicably shattering, and sudden drops in temperature. Some have even claimed to see the ghostly figure of an elderly man in a lab coat, believed to be a former professor who died on the premises decades ago.

In the college library, books have been known to fall from shelves without any apparent cause, and whispered conversations have been heard when no one else is present. Staff working late have reported feeling a cold hand on their shoulder, only to turn around and find no one there.
