Drowned Girl of Forge Mill
Forge Mill Needle Museum and Bordesley Abbey, Redditch
Imagine walking through the grounds of Forge Mill Needle Museum in Redditch, the sound of water gently lapping against the edges of the old mill pond, when suddenly you catch a glimpse of a phantom woman. This is the reported haunting known as the Drowned Girl, a spirit said to roam the area where Bordesley Abbey once stood. The mill, now a museum showcasing the history of needle making, seems to be connected to the ghostly apparition of a woman who allegedly drowned herself in the pond.
