Solihull Ghostly Hall Sounds
Park Hall in Castle Bromwich, Solihull, was once the site of some pretty strange occurrences. A family living there in the 1930s reportedly left in a hurry, allegedly driven out by ghostly activity. It seems that tales of a phantom being seen or strange noises being heard persisted for a few more decades after they left. The hall itself was demolished in 1970, but that didnt stop people talking about the unexplained happenings that took place there.
Historical records show that a 1958 newspaper article featured a local Alderman who claimed that any haunting on the site was just a myth. However, this didnt stop people from sharing stories about the ghostly goings-on at Park Hall. The fact that the family left in 1930 suggests that whatever was happening there was serious enough to disrupt their lives. While we dont know much about the specific events that took place, its clear that Park Hall has a fascinating and spooky history.
Park Hall was a country house in Castle Bromwich, Solihull, that was demolished in 1970.
