About This Event
Toby Burchell performs a one-man show of ghost stories at Benthall Hall, Shrewsbury on 2026-10-17 19:00.
Originally narrated as entertainments for friends, enjoy these perfect traditional ghost stories.
“…this horror was bounding like a tiger at his heels, with blazing eyes and one stringy arm out thrown.”
ACT 1: In Charles Dickens’ classic ghost story, ‘The Signalman’, we follow a railway signalman who keeps watch over a damp, and gloomy railway cutting.
ACT 2: In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Lot No. 249’, we follow Abercrombie Smith, a student who investigates a series of supernatural occurrences linked to his suspicious neighbour.
This is a candlelit performance taking place in St Bartholomew’s Church and will begin at 7pm on Saturday 17th October 2026.
