Wem Town Hall is a building in the market-town of Wem in Shropshire, England. It is currently used as a venue for music and dance concerts, films, stage shows and exhibitions. The interior of the building was completely destroyed by fire on 19 November 1995.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wem Guide: The Haunting of Wem Town Hall )〕 The incident became famous as a result of a black-and-white photo taken by amateur photographer Tony O'Rahilly, which appeared to depict the image of a young girl in the doorway of the burning building. Locals averred that this was the ghost of Jane Churn, a young girl who was accused (in 1677) of starting a fire in the same town.〔 O'Rahilly later denied claims that he had used special effects to add the girl into the image. ==Building history== Wem Town Hall was erected in 1905.
