From old pubs, theatres and vanished streets to shops, former hospitals and the modern Kingfisher Centre, discover the stories of ghostly figures, unexplained footsteps, mysterious children, spectral monks and other encounters reported across Redditch over the years. The walk begins at 7pm at Redditch Local History Museum, 10 New Walk, Kingfisher Shopping Centre, Redditch, directly opposite the former WHSmith.
