Woodrow
Poltergeist - Astley Close - Anon
Reports of poltergeist activity were reported in the 1970's. ATV made a short documentary about this. Wendy Jones interview with Mrs ****** about the strange happenings in her home which include a feeling of cold and a flying orange. We also see son *** ****** carrying out chemistry experiments at home which have been affected by the ghost. Wendy Jones next visits the nearby Wirehill Woods which are said to be the site of black magic rituals. She talks to Pastor Leslie Perkins of the Assembly of God Church, who thinks that an evil spirit is in the home and believes that the happenings have come about because of the use of a Ouija Board by young people, including Mrs ****** son. Finally medium Dora Stephens visits the home where she is put into a trance and described the family who had once occupied Shakespeare Farm, which was on the site now occupied by the council estate.
I can actually purchase the 5 minute documentary for £80

More Poltergeist Activity in Astley Close
Astley Close, Woodrow North between 1969-1970 This estate was new and had just been completed by the then (planning & redevelopment) most houses on this part of the Woodrow estate were occupied by young families with one or two children, new born to toddler age. Within 2 - 4 years 1974-1975 most of the occupants of these addresses had witnessed different unusual & inexplicable occurrences that couldn't be explained away by the tricks of light & shadow. Whispering heard by some resident's even though they were home alone at the time, moving objects were witnessed by nearly all the residents at one time or another, in some cases partners would not stay in there houses alone while there partners we're not in the home with them. There were 3 attempts to investigate these disturbance's by a group from the then known SPR (Society for Psychical Research). Tape recordings that were recorded with no apparent noises at the time of recording picked up sounds in seemingly empty rooms, on playback you could hear clear whispering voices in some houses and in other houses anything from creeks, dragging noises and foot steps. There was a third investigation in 1978 at *** Astley Close, the investigation team we're so frightened that one of the team left the house and vowed never to go back. It later emerged that the reason for this was when the recording was played back after being left on its own for some hours whispers could be clearly heard saying, "we live, we live". No other investigation was done after that. By 1982 most of the original residents of the 1970s had moved out, so the witnesses of these events were mostly gone. There was an interview with one of the residents in 1980 on A.T.V. News about the activity verifying their account of the disturbances, the audio recording by the SPR had been left with them.

Childhood Friend - Rushock Close - Anon
Living in Rushock close Woodrow as a child I had a friend only I could see and interact with. A tap was witnessed turning on, we would hear footsteps across the landing which would stop at the bathroom, objects moving and a child who moves about the hallway downstairs. On occasion the TV would also turned itself on.

Being Watched - Ombersley Close - Anon
At half past 2 every morning, my kitchen light turns on for 3 minutes then turns off again. We put a camera up and filmed it happening. It feels like something is watching us all the time and my dog always growls and barks at something that we can't see. My cupboard draws and door always open in the kitchen. I find a picture of myself and my mum faced down every morning and my son who is 7 keeps says that a man talks to him in his room and goes through the walls.

Giggling Poltergeist - Cropthorne Close - Anon
Still very much poltergeist activity witnessed many occasions Cropthorne Close. In my sister's house, she witnessed grey, dark shadow human like figures. She also experienced things moving by themselves, not just cups, plates, cupboards opening by themselves but a solid wood wardrobe tipped over, impossible unless there was some kind force behind it. Giggling and unusual languages were also heard.

Little Old Lady - Longdon Close - Anon
A small old lady, about in her 70's walks the paths with a little dog on the paths near the back of Woodrow school, Longdon Close area. She disappears with no explanation as to where she could have disappeared to. My husband who did not believe in ghosts certainly believes now and many others witnessed her too.

Ghost Train - Old Railroad Tracks - Anon
I was talking to an old lady about old Redditch once, I mentioned about hearing an old steam train in Woodrow. She said that there was once a train crash on the old railroad that used to run down the back end of the estate before it was built. This has been heard in Greenlands too.
