There has been a working mill on this site since circa 1300. In the Tudor/Elizabethan period the building was improved and remains of that building can still be seen. The majority of the building now showing was built up, with raised floors and extended in the 1700’s. The cellar and wheel room are still original. There was a gabled Queen Anne house joined onto the mill on the back land. At the end of the last century a three storey extension was erected adjoining the right hand side of the main mill.
Originally there was an undershot wheel, which was replaced with an overshot wheel for greater efficiency. This wheel and pit are closed on the left hand side of the building. Over the centuries repair work and alterations were done, sometimes with reclaimed materials e.g. dressed stone from Valley Crucis Abbey and timber from ships. New doors and windows were roughly made or filled in.
The right hand side addition was not built sufficiently well enough and was inadequately joined on to the main part of the mill. It was soon realised that the top floor could not withstand the weight of the sacks and the vibration of the milling machinery. The top floor was blocked off, the window filled in and tie bars were put in place through the building to strengthen and stabilise the extension.
The current owner’s great uncle and grandfather father took over the milling in Chirk Mill about 1937.
The house behind the mill burnt down in the late 1930’s and was left decaying for about 30 years before it was demolished.
After the war the mill became mainly a warehouse for sorting, mixing and wholesaling animal foodstuff. The mill became neglected from lack of maintenance. It is now used as a retail business.
Dating back to the 16th century, this historic mill has witnessed numerous floods, fires, and tragedies, contributing to its haunted reputation.
Visitors and paranormal investigators have reported various eerie occurrences at Chirk Mill. Full-bodied apparitions have been seen peering from the upper windows, and the spectral figure of a young girl has been spotted wandering the grounds. Inside the mill, disembodied voices have been heard on the third floor, and unsettling scratching sounds and cries have emanated from the locked-off attic area.
The mill’s long history and the numerous reported paranormal activities make it a compelling destination for those interested in ghost hunting and exploring the supernatural.

The event will start with a relaxed greeting, health and safety briefing and shortly after we will venture forth into the unknown.
Please note this is not a sleep over event, if you are travelling a considerable distance we recommend you book a hotel room, there are a number of choices in the area.
The RIP-UK promise… this is REAL ghost hunting! As a team we promise on our events we fake nothing, we actively ask our event venue hosts to ensure any and all devices in the venue that could distract or cause false positives are turned off. We set up nothing more than the refreshments! This means what happens, happens but we will not make something happen falsely. We do endeavour to create every opportunity for genuine activity through vigil guidance and experiements.
To get the most from the evening we encourage you to try your hand at as many things as you can, if you’re feeling particularly brave you could try a lone vigil, join others on a ouija board or perhaps even sensory deprivation experiments as we try to commune with the spirits and ghosts of the building.
Please dress weather appropriately, with extra layers of clothing if it’s cold, plus comfortable shoes and a torch if you need one.
