Ghost Hunt at The Four Crosses, Cannock - 8th May 2026

Perched beside Watling Street in Cannock, The Four Crosses Inn looks like any old English pub—half-timbered, stooped under centuries of history. Yet to those who've lingered after closing time, it is more than a public house. It's a place where time thins, and the dead still gather for one last round.

Built in the 17th century upon the foundations of a 1600s coach house, The Four Crosses has seen births, deaths, and darker things whispered across its ale-stained tables. The walls are thick, but not thick enough to contain the stories. Patrons have spoken of shadows that move against the grain of light, of phantom children darting up the staircase, and of a woman weeping in an upstairs room long after the guests have gone.

Perhaps the most chilling account is of the young girl said to have hanged herself from a beam above the bar centuries ago. Her small figure has been glimpsed in the corner of mirrors—her eyes hollow, her face pale as the moonlight that bleeds through the old leaded glass. Staff have found children's toys moved in locked rooms, footsteps pacing in empty corridors, and glasses flung from shelves as though in sudden fury.

Paranormal investigators who've braved the night here report cold spots so intense they burn the skin, disembodied whispers caught on static, and a presence that seems to breathe against the back of your neck. Some say the inn sits on a crossroads older than the building itself—a place where spirits have long wandered, drawn to the pull of the earth and the promise of the living who dare to listen.

The Four Crosses is not merely haunted—it is alive with the memory of those who never left. Every echo in its low beams, every flicker of candlelight on its warped walls, feels like a reminder that time moves differently here.

Join us for an unforgettable night of paranormal investigation at one of Staffordshire's most notoriously haunted locations.

Your experience begins at 8:45 PM as you step inside this centuries-old inn, where countless reports of ghostly activity have been recorded. Throughout the night, you'll take part in both traditional and modern paranormal experiments — including table tipping, glass divination, Ouija boards, and watch-and-wait vigils using the latest ghost-hunting technology.

Working in small teams, we'll explore as much of this eerie location as possible to uncover who — or what — still haunts its shadowed rooms. For those seeking an even more personal encounter, you'll have the opportunity to use our equipment and conduct your own investigation, immersing yourself in the atmosphere of this legendary building.

We finish at 2:00 AM, leaving you with an experience — and perhaps a few questions — you won't soon forget.

For those not wanting to drive home in the early hours there is a Premier Inn a few minutes away at Watling Street, Cannock       WS11 1SJ
