Starting beneath Clitheroe Castle’s 800-year-old keep where we learn of the town’s connection with the De Lacy family and the English Civil War.

The keep is haunted by the ghosts of three cavalier officers executed on the orders of Cromwell after escaping from the POW compound – three police officers came across them in the winter of 1982 – a chilling story!

From the castle ramparts you can see Waddow Hall, where the ghost of Peg O’O'Nell resides, she was murdered by her cruel master in 1798.

At the Swan and Royal Hotel the ghost of a young girl who took her own life in 1879 is known to walk on the hotel’s top floor. There is plenty of other ghostly activity here as you will discover.

In the town centre is where the cotton rioting took place in 1878, a bloody tale! Outside of the White Lion public house, look up to the attic and its famous hidden cockpit with its resident ghost Miss Chamley.

Onward to the Parish Hall and the ghost of a WW2 soldier, who lost his life in Crete 1941.

Across from the hall we enter St Mary’s churchyard and the famous grave of William Southworth and see his intriguing story engraved on his grave stone.
