Gosford Books, Coventry

Gosford Books in Coventry has a rather curious reputation. A local ghost walker and storyteller claims that the bookshop is haunted by the spirits of children who like to play tricks by stacking books in the aisles. However, the current owner of the shop has had a very different experience during his 36 years of running the business. He says he has not encountered anything out of the ordinary, which has led some to wonder if the haunting is a thing of the past or perhaps just a myth.

Days Hotel, Coventry

The Days Hotel in Coventry is said to be haunted by five phantoms. While four of these apparitions are rarely seen, the fifth is that of a maid who still roams the upper floors. This poor woman was allegedly mistreated by the manager and harbours a strong dislike for men - so much so that she tends to conceal their belongings and has been blamed for minor mishaps they may have experienced.

Terry Road, Coventry

Terry Road in Coventry is a seemingly ordinary street, but it's been the site of a bizarre and unsettling paranormal encounter.

The witness was overcome with dread and screamed out loud, so shaken that they wouldn't sleep properly for a week afterwards. The ripple seemed to have come out of nowhere, leaving the witness to wonder what exactly they had experienced.
