Ye Olde Black Cross Ghost

Ye Olde Black Cross in Bromsgrove is haunted by a Royalist soldier reputedly looking for Charles Stuart as it was at the forge in this old pub that the King had had his horse reshod after escaping from the Battle of Worcester.

The pub gets its name from the fact that it stood at a crossroads where executed criminals were buried because it was believed their ghosts would be too restless to lie in consecrated ground.
