The Little Chop House in Dudley, located on Tower Street, dates back to the 16th century. Originally constructed as a private residence, the timber-framed building later served as an inn during the 18th and 19th centuries before becoming a restaurant in the 20th century.

Several ghostly encounters have been reported at the Little Chop House over the years. Staff and patrons have described seeing the apparition of a young girl in Victorian-era clothing, often spotted on the building’s upper floors. Some witnesses claim to have heard her laughter echoing through empty rooms.

Another frequently reported spirit is that of an elderly man, believed to be a former innkeeper. He has been seen walking through walls and standing behind the bar area. Employees have experienced unexplained cold spots and the sensation of being watched, particularly in the cellar.

Paranormal activity in the kitchen includes utensils moving on their own, unexplained noises, and appliances turning on and off without human intervention. Some staff members have reported feeling an unseen presence touch their shoulder or brush past them while working.

Ghostly footsteps have been heard on the stairs and in upstairs rooms when the building was empty. Customers have also reported seeing fleeting shadows and experiencing sudden temperature drops while dining.

One of the most intriguing phenomena is the occasional appearance of a phantom horse-drawn carriage outside the building. Witnesses describe hearing the sound of horses’ hooves and carriage wheels on cobblestones, despite the street being paved with modern materials.

These reported experiences have contributed to the Little Chop House’s reputation as one of Dudley’s most haunted locations, with its long history and numerous ghostly tales captivating local residents and paranormal enthusiasts alike.
