Ghost Hunting Event At Tettenhall Towers With Simply Ghost Nights & Most Haunteds Former Medium Chris Conway, 26th May 2012

Join Simply Ghost Nights and Chris Conway for one of our favourite locations. This huge building was a memorable night on our last visit with almost every vigil having constant activity.

YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND, May 21, 2012

Tettenhall Towers in Wolverhampton is a brand new location for simply ghost nights. Tettenhall Towers dates back to the early part of the eighteeth century and was built by Thomas Pearson is 1771. In 1851 it was bought by Colonel Thomas Thorneycroft who was a very eccentric man and has been spotted many times at the Towers, unhappy that there are people in his home, Its documented that scared builders have fled the property and not returned because of what they've seen or heard!!

The Thorneycrofts, Colonel Thorneycroft bought and sold property on a grand scale but preferred Tettenhall Towers to the rest. Colonel Thorneycroft was also an eccentric of the highest order, he was known for pushing his butlers off the top of the towers to test various flying machines of his own creation.

G B Thorneycroft, the colonel's father, was the company founder who also became Wolverhampton's first mayor in 1848. But it was his son, the buyer of Tettenhall Towers, who became arguably one of the village's most eccentrically famous residents. The Colonel was variously described as a man whose fertile imagination, individual point of view, broad and ready wit and energetic language meant that he would not readily be forgotten.

On a previous event we experienced the most active areas of the whole night had to be both the cellars where numerous people were feeling cold spots, and tapping on request, the K2 was flashing all the way to the red every time on request. And last the Colonels' room upstairs where we had banging on the windows on request (bearing in mind this was upstairs), Rosey mentioned, this had the whole group cry out in fright when it appeared they each in turn felt someone either playing with their hair or legs, and Astons camera kept being switched off whilst filming.

In a vigil of Steve's he said that their many sightings of dark shadow movement and some excellent table tipping in one of the rooms off the dolls house. Stuart and Steve in separate vigils both stated they had excellent tapping and banging in the colonel's room on request and also there was some excellent spiking on the K2 reported as well. Many ghost hunters claimed to have heard incarnate growling or mumbling right next to them. Which had many of them shaking in terror at this amazing location?

Tettenhall Towers, now part of Tettenhall College, is situated in Mount Road Tettenhall. The Towers dates back to the early part of the eighteenth century when a General Thomas Pearson, a returning Indian nabab bought land in Tettenhall at the site of the Holly Bush Inn.
