The History and Ghosts of Peterborough Museum
Step inside one of Cambridgeshire’s most haunted buildings and uncover the mysteries of Peterborough Museum. From the sad past of Charlotte Squire—and the mysterious voice that calls her name to the apparition of lonely ANZAC soldier, Thomas Hunter, we examine whether the ghosts are tied to the building itself—or to the thousands of artefacts preserving centuries of history? Once a private Georgian home, later a hospital, and now a museum and art gallery, Peterborough Museum holds echoes of countless lives that once passed through its doors.
Today, it houses thousands of exhibits documenting the city’s past—from Roman artefacts and ancient civilisations to a Victorian operating theatre where pioneering, and often perilous, surgeries took place. From everyday objects to Jurassic fossils and natural history displays, each piece carries a fragment of history into the present. Long regarded as one of the most haunted buildings in Cambridgeshire, the museum has become synonymous with ghostly encounters and unexplained phenomena. But what binds these spirits here? Are they imprinted on the building itself—or connected to the objects within it?
