An Evening of Ghost Stories will be held at Benthall Hall in Shrewsbury on October 17, 2026. The event is a talk category, featuring a one-man performance by Toby Burchell, and will be free to attend.
Originally narrated as entertainments for friends, enjoy these perfect traditional ghost stories.
“…this horror was bounding like a tiger at his heels, with blazing eyes and one stringy arm out thrown.”
ACT 1: In Charles Dickens’ classic ghost story, ‘The Signalman’, we follow a railway signalman who keeps watch over a damp, and gloomy railway cutting.
ACT 2: In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Lot No. 249’, we follow Abercrombie Smith, a student who investigates a series of supernatural occurrences linked to his suspicious neighbour.
This is a candlelit performance taking place in St Bartholomew’s Church and will begin at 7pm on Saturday 17th October 2026.
