Tudor World Museum in Stratford-upon-Avon occupies a 16th-century building known as the Shrieve’s House, one of the oldest structures in the town. Once home to William Rogers, a prominent figure who served as Sheriff of Stratford, the building has a rich history dating back to Shakespeare’s time. The museum now offers visitors a glimpse into Tudor life through interactive exhibits and period recreations.

The museum’s paranormal reputation has grown over the years, with numerous reported ghostly encounters. Staff and visitors have described sensing an unseen presence, particularly on the building’s upper floors. One frequently reported apparition is that of a young girl in period clothing, often seen near the stairs or in the bedroom areas. Some witnesses claim to have heard her giggling or calling out.

Another commonly reported phenomenon involves the ghost of a male figure, believed to be a former resident or owner of the building. This entity is said to manifest as a dark shadow moving through the rooms or standing motionless in corners. Visitors have reported sudden cold spots and feelings of being watched, especially in the kitchen area and main hall.

Paranormal investigators have conducted several overnight investigations at Tudor World, documenting unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and anomalous readings on electronic equipment. Some have reported capturing EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) during their sessions, with whispered voices and unexplained footsteps being the most common recordings. The museum’s staff have also reported items being moved or misplaced when the building is closed to the public, adding to its reputation as one of Stratford’s most haunted locations.
