From the Hunted Rooms Website;
"The Prince Rupert Hotel is said to be haunted by a lot of spirits. Shrewsbury also has a reputation of being one of the most haunted towns in Great Britain. Its dark corners, medieval streets and old buildings seem to lend credence of the many talks of spectres and ghostly apparitions surrounding the hotel. There are more than 500 stories of spectres in the town of Shrewsbury. Aside from the spectres from appearing out of nowhere, there is also poltergeist activity. People smell, hear, touch or get touched by things which will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

The Prince Philip Suite is said to be haunted by the spirit of a jilted bride. She is said to have hanged herself in the room after her groom left her on her wedding night. The spectre of the hanging woman is often seen in the room and she is also believed to be responsible for moving the objects in the room around. The room has since been turned into a conference suite. Room 7, is said to be where a young man killed himself after he found out that the girl he loved left him for his best friend."
