    Brummie Ghosts

    I think the shop I work in is haunted, I've often felt as if someone was putting their hand on my back but I turn around and nobody is there. It only happens when I'm at work

    Ghost signs of Birmingham

    The house where I grew up in Dudley Road, Winson Green had "This is Davis's" painted on the front, I suppose that would be classed as a ghost sign. Sadly, the house has been demolished now but someone on the Winson Green in the '50's, 60's, 70's page on facebook has posted a photo of it on there
