Sedgley Police Station, located in Coseley, West Midlands, was constructed in the late 19th century to serve the growing local community. The Victorian-era building operated as a functioning police station for over a century before its closure in the early 2000s.

During its years of operation, the station housed cells for holding prisoners, offices for officers, and interrogation rooms. Many of the original architectural features remain intact, including heavy iron cell doors and high barred windows.

The station gained notoriety for reported paranormal activity, with numerous ghostly encounters documented by staff and visitors over the decades. Officers working night shifts frequently reported hearing unexplained footsteps echoing through empty corridors and the sounds of cell doors slamming shut on their own.

One of the most well-known spectral residents is said to be the ghost of a former prisoner who died in custody under mysterious circumstances in the 1950s. Multiple witnesses have described seeing the apparition of a disheveled man in old-fashioned prison garb pacing the cellblock.

Other reported phenomena include sudden cold spots, objects moving on their own, and the disembodied voices of men and women heard throughout the building. Some visitors have claimed to feel an overwhelming sense of dread or sadness upon entering certain areas, particularly the cells.

The station’s paranormal reputation grew in the late 20th century as more stories emerged from officers and staff. Tales of ghostly encounters became part of the local folklore, with some longtime Coseley residents sharing their own eerie experiences when brought to the station for questioning or processing over the years.
