Derby has been described as the "Ghost Capitol of England." The
city claims to have 159 known ghosts. The center of the city lies
on a series of rolling hills and claims a history that goes back to
Roman occupation and forts. While it was once a place of strife and
fortification, it became a center for the Industrial Revolution.
The vast number of pubs still located in Derby serve as a testament
to the value given to public houses for centuries here. And just
under the din of the night life are the stories of those things
that go bump in the night. Come with us as we do a pub crawl and
travel to a gaol and hotels in search of spirits to find out if
Derby really is one of the most haunted cities in Britain! The
Moment in Oddity features Wang the Human Unicorn and This Month in
History features Anne Frank's last diary entry. Our location was
suggested by listener Nellie Johnson.
