The gardens of the Shrewsbury castle in England are
reportedly haunted by Shrewsbury’s answer to the infamous Blue beard, a specter
named “Bloody Jack”.
Centuries ago, back
when the ghost was the groundskeeper and a mortal man, he was known for proposing
to young women and girls who he would invite to his castle only to rape and
murder them.
According to local legend, he was arrested when the sister
of one of his victims searched the castle and found a wooden chest containing
the severed fingers and toes of every girl who had went missing in the area.
Bloody Jack was drawn, quartered and hanged for his crimes and as was customary
at the time, his severed head was put on a stick and displayed.
His spirit now spends eternity wandering the gardens of his
castle. Some visitors say they sometimes hear the bloodcurdling screams of girls
later accompanied by the vision of bloody Jack dragging a victim across the
property by a fistful of hair.
