Right on the doorstep of the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, The Leaping Wolf site has a long history in Wolverhampton!The land the Leaping Wolf sits on was originally built on in 1865 by William Moxen and his family, their sprawling mansion would of been a sight to behold in those days and was situated next to a large church and graveyard.
William Moxen was a complex man with many secrets that he took to his grave, William was a chemical manufacturer and it was alleged that William would test his chemicals on his children, he had 4 daughter and 3 sons, however Williams wife would later disappear and one if his daughters Ethel would never been seen or heard from again, there has been no death records ever found for her. A mystery to this day that only William Moxen knows, so what did happen to Ethel???
It’s been said William still angrily awaits his wife’s return and has a dislike to children with dolls being removed from areas he is known to frequent. Many people have seen a man standing in the 3rd floor window when there is no one present on the 3rd floor at all. It is also said that there are the spirits of 2 children that William torments also, are these some of his children? We aim to find out!
After William’s death as he had no living heirs that could be located the building was taken over and over the years has become many things, it was a Hotel, a boarding school and now on it’s grounds lies the Leaping Wolf.
