Headless Duke of Buckingham Ghost
Debenhams department store in Salisbury, Wiltshire, was once home to a rather unsettling presence. In the late twentieth century, a British Telecom employee working on the site was terrified by the headless apparition of the Duke of Buckingham, who was executed in the fifteenth century. The poor chap refused to re-enter the building after his encounter with the ghostly duke. This location is no longer operational as a department store, but its paranormal history lives on.
The Duke of Buckingham's fate was sealed in the fifteenth century when he was executed. It's said that his spirit still roams the area where he met his demise, or in this case, the site of the former Debenhams store in Salisbury. The ghostly apparition has been described as headless, which is hardly surprising given the circumstances of his death. While there's no concrete evidence to pinpoint the exact location of his execution, it's clear that his spirit has been connected to this site for many years.
