The Old Bulls Head in Dudley, West Midlands, dates back to the 16th century. Originally a coaching inn, it served travelers on the busy route between Birmingham and Wolverhampton. The building’s timber-framed structure and low ceilings are characteristic of its Tudor origins.

During the English Civil War, the inn reportedly housed both Royalist and Parliamentarian troops at different times. Local legend suggests that secret tunnels beneath the building were used to smuggle goods and hide fugitives.

The pub’s most famous ghostly resident is said to be Colonel Thomas Bagley, a Royalist officer executed for treason in 1664. Witnesses have reported seeing a man in 17th-century clothing walking through walls and disappearing into thin air. Some claim to have heard the sound of boots pacing in empty rooms.

Another frequently reported apparition is that of a young woman in Victorian-era dress, believed to be a former barmaid. She has been seen walking up and down the stairs and standing behind the bar. Staff members have reported glasses moving on their own and the feeling of being watched when alone in the building.

In the cellar, people have experienced sudden temperature drops and an overwhelming sense of dread. Some visitors claim to have been pushed or touched by unseen hands in this area.

The upper floors of the Old Bulls Head are said to be haunted by the spirits of children. Witnesses have reported hearing the sound of children laughing and playing, even when no children are present in the building. Some have seen shadowy figures darting between rooms.
