City of Caves, Nottingham | Nottingham, EN

Nottingham’s City of Caves is one of the most haunted locations in the UK, with a history stretching back over a thousand years. Beneath the city lies a vast network of over 800 caves, carved into the sandstone, which have been used for everything from dwellings and storage to taverns and even air raid shelters during World War II. With such a long and sometimes dark history, it’s no surprise that many ghost stories are tied to these underground passages.
Ghostly Encounters in the City of Caves
1. The Victorian Workhouse Spirits – Part of the caves was used as a workhouse cellar in the 19th century. People who were poor and sick lived under harsh conditions, and many died in misery. Visitors report hearing disembodied voices, crying, and whispers in this area.
2. The Lost Souls of the Plague – During the Great Plague of 1665, some of the caves were used to quarantine infected victims. Many died underground, and their spirits are said to still linger. Some people claim to feel sudden cold spots, see shadowy figures, or even hear coughing and wheezing.
3. The Highwayman’s Ghost – Legend has it that a highwayman once used the caves as a hideout before being caught and executed. His restless spirit is sometimes seen as a dark figure lurking in the tunnels.
4. The Mysterious Poltergeist Activity – Staff and visitors have reported objects moving on their own, doors slamming, and an eerie feeling of being watched.
5. The Woman in White – A ghostly woman in white has been spotted wandering through the caves. Some believe she may be connected to the workhouse, possibly a grieving mother searching for a lost child.
