Sleap Airfield Ghost Hunts
Located 10 miles north of Shrewsbury, this atmospheric airfield has seen it's share of dramatic events over the years.
Built in 1942, RAF Sleap (pronounced 'Slape') was host to No. 81 Operational Training Unit, amongst others. They completed both training and active missions during wartime from this base. Sadly, as with many wartime locations, there were tragic incidents which resulted in the loss of life. Both aircrews and ground staff were killed during a number of incidents at this site. Many stories of apparitions and disembodied voices have been reported since.
Although a busy and welcoming airfield in the day, Sleap takes on a different atmosphere once the last flights have landed for the night and darkness descends.
