GRESLEY OLD HALL EVENT SUMMARY | 30.11.19

Our last night out in November marked our 6th and final investigation at Gresley Old Hall for 2019! With Soup on the go and the heating on full whack, at least one of the 3 vigils was toasty warm down in the baseroom whilst the other 2 vigils tested peoples resilience to some icy cold spine tingling moments upstairs (not all weather related!)

This 1734 dilapidated old hall provides the perfect atmosphere to investigate in, with guests getting a chance to spend time in the attic which has often left people feeling on edge. Last night was no exception, with our music box triggering near the attic stairs (during more than 1 vigil), our vibe pod detecting movement and at one point, just as a guest announced she felt a coldness around her, an EMF detecting bear lit up behind her! Voices were heard via our recorders, with a "6-7" given over by a spirit when asking for their age. A sentence was also captured shortly after and whilst we can't quite make out the full message, it starts clear enough with get out! (Not the first time we've heard this - pretty regular occurrence!).

On the middle floor, guests split off and spent time in the 6 former bedrooms on offer, taking as much equipment as they could carry. Voices were captured over the spirit box with "who's this?" And "I'm here" as well as the number 8, a possible "my name is" and a "Mike".

During the ground floor ouija sessions, whilst for vigil 1, no will in the world appeared to be able to get the glass to move, vigil 2 had the "67" come through which had been heard via EVP up in the attic earlier (a male) and during vigil 3 a female came forward who appeared to be from the 1500's who answered correctly to questions relating to that time period. She wasn't so correct in guessing symbols drawn on a piece of paper but managed a couple of right moves! We had fun trying!

Without a shadow of a doubt last nights Haunted Evening was an absolute pleasure thanks to such a lovely open friendly bunch of guests who bounced off each other making investigating a freeze, we mean breeze! Thanks to everyone for your input, we hope you enjoyed Gresley Old Hall as much as we always do! ... See MoreSee Less

PETERBOROUGH MUSEUM EVENT SUMMARY | 23.11.19

With history dating back on this site to the 12th Century and parts of Peterborough museum dating back to the 16th Century when it was first a private Mansion, its fair to say that last nights Haunted Evenings home has plenty of historical layers to get your teeth into but it doesn't end there! This Grand Georgian building became Peterborough’s first city hospital from 1857 which eventually closed in 1928.

Having only just investigated this former Hospital last month, we continued our search last night with some fascinating similarities...

Operating theatre : A human pendulum started the night for group 3 up in the original hospitals operating theatre. The room remains as was, with tiled walls and is easy to imagine its former use. During a pre-event walkround a team member sensed a strong energy in the middle of the room and felt that there had been a body on the floor. The first energy sensed during vigil 1, was an 18 year old trainee nurse (with initials H M) who worked there from 1895 to 1907. It was discovered through the human pendulum that she had one child who she gave birth to out of wedlock when she was 23. The group discovered that the baby died shortly after birth because of a Doctors error and that this had been a cover up. The question was asked if the babies body was on the floor and as the guest moved forward for yes, so too did a K2 (EMF meter) spike strongly into life. When checking back through previous investigations, back in January 2019, it's amazing to discover that a similar story of a medical mishap was covered up (unbeknowst to the team member who investigated the building for the first time last night!). As the night went on, groups 1 and 2 also picked up on the 18 year old female spirit who was present throughout the investigation. The team member did not divulge what had happened during any previous vigils!. 2 guests in seperate vigils experienced light headedness, one having to leave the room.

The Vaults : Down beneath the old Georgian building guests had the delight of spending time investigating a series of vaulted rooms that would have had various uses over time, from storage to a make shift hospital morgue. All 3 groups started their trigger vigil ( a controlled experiment using an array of equipment) in the "coffin vault". Movement devices pointing out through the doorway triggered for all 3 groups, muffled EVP's were heard and the names Robert, Norman and Edward were all possible names heard on playback albeit not clear enough to upload.
In the end vault, our music box played during 2 of the 3 vigils, exactly as it had done during last months investigation, with the energy building as it had done previously. Whilst we have yet to determine who is triggering our box, we are building up a picture of the energy down there and left with the impression that they like to play the music devise. A child maybe?

Ground Floor : Our ouija boards were used to investigate the ground floor which included the old kitchen area. Unfortunately the first 2 groups did not experience any movement on the glass however this was at least some kind of consistency! The final ouija session was more fruitful with connections to a female spirit who stated 6 other spirits were around.

All in all a fascinating Haunted Evening with regards to evidence being consistent throughout the evening and with similarities to previous investigations held in January and October!

Thank you to everyone who took part last night, you were all a pleasure to meet and we hope you all enjoyed the experience as much as we did! ... See MoreSee Less

THE COFFIN WORKS EVENT | 22.11.19

The Coffin Works in Central Birmingham opened it's doors for the very first time last night to allow Haunted Evenings guests the absolute privilege of investigating this brand new untouched site!. Opened in 1894 as Newman Bros. this beautiful Victorian building is the only building of it's kind left standing from the days gone by, on Fleet Street. Like entering a time capsule, this old factory has been preserved exactly how it was when it was fully operational up until its closure in 1999.

The teams were split down to investigate the Shroud Room, Warehouse, Stamp Room and the original Managers Office. What did the first ever investigation unearth?.....

The Stamp Room which sits away from the main building and accessible only via the courtyard, is a narrow workspace filled to the brim with old manual machinery designed to cut out the metal coffin furniture this factory was famous for producing. We set up various pieces of paranormal equipment along the abandoned work benches, floor and on some of the factory presses. Movement was detected via our Vibe Pods during all 3 vigils, a few taps were heard, one occuring at one end which also set off our EDI geophone (movement) devise at the same time a team member felt something standing behind her and a guest felt cold. Grainy voices were picked up throughout the night, often starting quietly and building as each vigil was conducted, nothing majorly decipherable other than a possible couple of EVP's which we will review later. The highlight of the Stamp Room came during the final vigil when a music box, designed to trigger when movement is detected in front of it, started to play after sitting idle for 30 mins or so. It was pointing down an old roped off work trough and no person present could have accidently stood in its line of sight. The devise was close to where the team member in the previous vigil had felt a presence behind her!

In the old Managers Office which has been preserved exactly how it was found after the factory closed, groups took part in Ouija board sessions. Personal connections were made with some guests but in the main the board produced contact from spirits connected to the building/area. The name Billy Hurst came up, a 5 year old who spelt out the letters PP. Significant as, at the end of the investigation when discussing experiences with other team members, the name PP was also picked up elsewhere during a vigil! The name Pat and the initials TF were also brought forward on the board, both claiming to have worked at the factory, one giving the date 1985. The name Jerry came forward who was 23 , died at 55 and mentioned the year 1923. A spirit named Victor was also detected during another ouija session and again, when summarising at the end of the night, surprised a team member to discover Victor had also come forward during a different experiment (Human Pendulum).

Up in the Shroud Room (Sewing Machine room) equipment was placed around the room and EVP sessions took place. For Group 2, the name Elizabeth and/ or Edith was sensed, shadows, K2 meters spiked and consistent yes/no responses occured via the use of the vibe pod. An orb was also seen by a couple of the guests shooting through a locked doorway. In an earlier vigil, Group 3 captured a grainy voice suggesting we should move, we were stood near the fabric cutting table end of the room.

It is always an exciting, daunting but above all else, thrillingly rare opportunity to be the first to ever investigate a building and we all entered through the cobbled courtyard with no real clue as to whether we would experience any activity at all!. I think its fair to say the chance to investigate this loveable building paid off as all groups experienced a steady trickle of unexplanable moments throughout the evening.

We would just like to say thank you to all those who attended with a good positive attitude to this unique event, to the HE team for taking up the challenge and a huge thank you to the Museum staff who welcomed the event with open arms.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be back on Friday 13th (March) to continue our paranormal research into this exclusive Haunted Evenings location! Tickets will go on sale next week. Check out the details over on the website! ... See MoreSee Less

Edinburgh night 2 led the crew and guests down the hidden steps into Mary Kings Close, a labyrinth of rooms buried beneath the Royal Mile, a place we can't recommend highly enough to visit by day tour or to investigate into the small hours with H.E!

Guests spent the evening conducting equipment based experiments in all areas, which included the actual Mary Kings Close itself (hidden street), Chesneys House, Annies Room, Cow shed and plague room. So what did last nights Haunted Evening uncover about this covered Close?!

Mary Kings Close / Chesneys House.

After taking a base recording, 3 attempts in, we captured the name "It's Chesney" as an EVP. This was phenomenal as we had captured the same name on last years investigation in the exact same place (Chesneys House). Listen in here

www.instagram.com/p/B48sF54FfIZ/?igshid=s1boc0zr1fo7

Further experiences in around the Close include an EVP that suggests the name Robert and a shout when we asked if the spirit [Chesney] wished the women to leave.
Vigil 3 EVP suggests " Get the f**k out of here"!

Annie's Room.

Energy was detected via K2 (EMF) meters during vigil 1, a tap was heard as well as 3 faint taps recorded on one of the guests recorders.
During vigil 2 the music box started to trigger and continued to play music intermittently at times the name Annabel (our doll) was mentioned. A vibe pod (movement devise) and a Rempod also kicked into life in response to questions suggesting a female presence. A goodbye via EVP was also captured with a strong Scottish accent.

Plague Area / Cow Shed

An audible breath was heard breathing close into one of the male guests ears during vigil 1. A Rempod and a K2 spiked on command and a spirit (female) sensed via dowsing rods. Interestingly the names Rob & Robert were also picked up as EVP's not long after the same name was captured 2 rooms away on the Close!
Vigil 2 a child spirit was sensed by 2 guests, with the name Bobby coming through via the recorder believed to be 8 years old and whom touched the hand of one of the male guests. 2 guests independantly picked up the age from opposite ends of the cow shed!
Vigil 3 in the cow shed a male, aged between 25-30 was detected via dowsing rods with connections to the plague, believed to play a part in dealing with the many plague victims.

Thanks once again for all those who chose to investigate this phenomenal location. We hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend in Edinburgh! For those interested, we shall be back next November and dates announced soon!. ... See MoreSee Less

Great weekend, with a mix of activity. Really enjoyed it and will see you again for more paranormal activities.

Thanks for a fab weekend, will see you again in the future I'm sure :)

I loved it when we did the Edinburgh vaults with you guys, I got a burning feeling in my throat which I only got whilst I was pregnant then a lady who was with the group asked if I was pregnant which I wasn't as there was a spirit behind me that latched on to pregnant women low and behold about a week after doing the vaults I did indeed find out I was pregnant xx

My first time last night what a great night will be booking another !!

Another great night well done

NIDDRY STREET VAULTS, EDINBURGH EVENT REVIEW | 15.11.19

Last night the crew descended into central Edinburgh to host the first of 2 investigations off the Royal Mile.
Niddry Street has a hidden door which leads into some of the South Bridge's infamous Edinburgh Vaults. Constructed in 1788, the bridge was first a vibrant trades area of the City soon becoming run down and getting a reputation for sinister and poverish conditions. In 1985 parts of the South Bridge Vaults were excavated and now hold a firm place on many a paranormal investigators bucketlist!

Highlights

The evening started with conducting traditional experiments which were the most fruitful for bringing forward activity. Ouija boards helped connect with a child, a female and a male spirit in the front room. 2 seperate male guests, in 2 seperate vigils could not bare being in the room, both experiencing lower body pains and unexplanable sensations. Neither knew of each others experiences, both needed to leave the room within minutes. Similarly in Vault 1, 2 female guests in 2 seperate vigils reported feeling intense sickness, to the point of one having to remove herself from the vault. Again, neither knew of the others experience. Quite mindblowing!

In the far vaulted stone circular room, the human pendulum experiment connected with a shady male character who only tuned in to the male guests present. In vigil 2 in the same area, the most surreal moment of knocking on command occurred. Not once, not twice, but 4 times when asked. Whilst this seemed almost too good to be true, as the night went on, no further knocks ever occurred and this isn't something we've ever heard previously. Certainly interesting!

EVP's were generally muffled throughout the evening with a possible "very happy" a "Josephine" and " go to hell".

Thank you to those who travelled the distance to investigate the Vaults with us last night. We'll be back in June for those who still haven't ticked this one off their list! ... See MoreSee Less

ORDSALL HALL EVENT REVIEW | 09.11.19

Pretty much bang on 6 months after our last Haunted Evening at Ordsall Hall, we were back last night to investigate this stunning location nestled in amongst modern suburbia. With 2 different ages to the building guests spent an equal measure in both parts, with paranormal experiences reported mainly during traditional methods.

The ouija sessions, held up in the attic and 18th Century rooms, picked up (during 2 separate vigils) the presence of a little girl unbeknownst to either group. Having read through March's review, this is evidently not the first time a girl spirit has been sensed.

Speaking of senses, lots of guests reported strange feelings, from guests unexplanably bursting into laughter, others feeling sick and discomfort, to more subtle feelings of being touched and various reports of cold spots lower down, suggesting perhaps children present. The name Elizabeth was picked up on by 3 seperate guests and a male presence sensed once again in one of the bedrooms (same as last time) with an almighty shout heard via our recorders moments before we ended our final vigil.

Thank you to all of last nights guests who got fully involved in the vigils and helped bring the evidence forward. Manchester has been a busy weekend with 2 back to back events and we've enjoyed investigating both venues... next week we head further north as we revisit Edinburgh! ... See MoreSee Less

Went to this event last night, first half was really good, had a medium called Andy with us, he was great really wanted us all to get something out of it! second half felt like staff just wanted to go home and didn’t really encourage the team to communicate with the spirits, one half of the group were very sceptical so felt like they affected our experience of the night x

Great review Nat Wilson. I really enjoy reading these. Plus AWESOME looking building 👍

RYECROFT HALL EVENT REVIEW | 08.11.19

Our first of two events in Manchester this weekend was at Ryecroft Hall, built in 1849. This was Haunted Evenings 1st investigation here and with many rooms to investigate, we set about conducting 4 vigils to cover as much ground as possible.

The servants quarters room provided all 3 groups with a connection to spirit via the ouija board. Some of the spirits brought forward were connected to the building ; a spirit named Charles, a female maid and the lady of the house (1862) were just some of the experiences reported. Personal connections from lost loved ones came forward for some of the guests too.

Equipment triggered down in the main reception room, with one amazing moment when 2 music boxes were triggered by an unknown force, as well as rempod action, cold spots and muffled EVP's. Guests picked up voices on the stairs and this was further validated by an EVP session at the end of the night where a voice can be heard on playback.

Thank you to all the guests who joined us last night. We hope to return to Ryecroft Hall next year to build on the experiences we encountered last night. Watch this space! ... See MoreSee Less

THE LOCK-UP EVENT REVIEW | 02.11.19

Our 6th and final Halloween Event of 2019 ended on a high at Birminghams old central custody block "The Lock-Up" with a Corker of an EVP, but more about that later!

So what went down at this old cell block?

During a ouija session a male spirit was connected with who gave the name Willan M and the year 1937.

In the womans block, vibe pods (designed to light up when movement is detected) were going crazy in the cell in the back corner, a cell we've had numerous experiences over our investigations. During a Human pendulum a spirit come through who lived on the land before the building existed (the area was previously the slums). In another pendulum, guests became emotional as personal connections came forward.

During freetime, one group had the K2 going crazy in a few different cells and also had uncontrollable laughter in cell 23. Another guest had earlier said he felt like he hit a wall of energy when he walked in the same cell.

In the very final moments of the investigation back in the womans cell area, k2's kicked into life and voices heard via our recorders. Listen in to the last EVP capture saying "Go on then!" when we go and bid the spirits goodnight!

Thank you to everyone who attended and made our last Halloween event so enjoyable.

Halloween selfie winners will be announced later this evening 🎃 ... See MoreSee Less
