THE LOCK-UP EVENT SUMMARY | 17.01.20

We were banged up at the Lock-Up again last night! Our first of 3 events this year (before the building shuts down for a revamp in July) was spent at the disused Central Birmingham Custody block known as Steelhouse Lanes "The Lock-Up".
Built on old slum land, this fine building served for over 127 years and was often described as a mini prison, closing its Victorian doors in 2017.

Once again we took on the challenge to experience the paranormal side in this 1890's building, with guests spending time in many of the cells with as much equipment as they could carry!

From ghostly voices captured on our recorders, guests feeling sick, headaches, personal encounters on the ouija board and emf meters responding on command, our night was certainly far from dispairing confinement.

To read a more detailed account of what happened last night, including a Class A EVP which states "goodbye", please check out our blog page.

As always it was a pleasure to investigate alongside so many guests who share our passion for the paranormal. We hope you enjoyed the evening and thanks once again, for choosing to spend the night, locked-up with the Haunted Evenings crew! ... See MoreSee Less

ABINGTON PARK MUSEUM SUMMARY | 11.01.20

A grade I listed 15th century manor house situated in Abington Park (Northampton) was our “home” for the evening and it’s fair to say we would move in permanently if we could! A fantastic building with an abundance of rooms to investigate, layered in history, from once a grand Manor to becoming a mental institution in the 1800’s, to its present day use as a museum.

Activity seemed to be apparent in all areas we investigated and some fascinating paranormal evidence was reported after each vigil conducted. We've reported back as many moments as we can recall over on our blog page (with many more moments missed I'm sure!) Check out the blog for last nights lowdown...

Thank you to all the guests who attended last night, you were all such a pleasure to investigate alongside and we’re thrilled you chose to investigate with Haunted Evenings.
Further dates are in the diary and will be announced soon for Abington Park Museum…watch this space! ... See MoreSee Less

DERBY GAOL EVENT SUMMARY | 10.01.20

Last nights return visit to Derby Gaol was long overdue as we were last there to see in the New Year in 2015 (scary how time flies!). The location is split into 2 with the old Gaol site (1756) positioned on Friar Gate and the tower of the old county Jail (1843) off Vernon Street.

With 2 completely different areas to investigate, guests were split into 2 and spent time conducting experiments in both locations, combining both traditional and equipment methods together.

During the evening, grainy voices were heard via voice recorders, people reporting headaches in certain areas, the sense of unwell in other parts of the jail, neck pains and EMF spikes were just some of the occurances reported back last night. The spirit of the old Jailer was also sensed as well a little girl and a drunken character! To read a more indepth summary, please head over to our website blog :

Thank you to those who braved the rather cold wind chill to investigate this unique little location. We will be back a little sooner than 4 years as we have just announced a second Haunted Evening at Derby Jail in May. To book on please check out details on our website. ... See MoreSee Less

A fantastic little location which was a first visit for me, a great night thoroughly enjoyed with great friends. Would be interested in visiting again, hopefully when it's not as bloody cold!!😂😂

A great night, many thanks to the team for making Hannah Ireland and I feel so welcome and at ease. Fab location too!

Great night last night! Thank you to your amazing hosts and we hope to see you soon at another location ❤️

LEICESTER GUILDHALL EVENT REVIEW | 04.01.20

Thank you to all those who joined Haunted Evenings in our home town last night at the Leicester Guildhall! As much as the festive break was lovely, it was fabulous to get 2020 rolling event wise and what better place than an old faithful haunt of ours!

Throughout the evening activity was reported back in various parts of the building. A particular hotspot appeared to be the old library (3rd oldest in England) where our music boxes detected movement in the side room on 2 separate occasions, often responding on command. EVP's from here suggest a male presence with muffled voices captured suggesting "murdered him" and "can't hear the message".

Down in the old Police holding cells, whilst EMF spikes were dismissed as being explanable and the ouija board wasn't forthcoming, EVP's once again suggested a spirit or spirits were present, implying they wished to get out. Again, muffled and not clear enough to upload but fascinating as these similar EVP's were captured by both groups (unbeknownst to each other).

Thanks again to everyone for joining us in Leicester and making our first event of the decade such a pleasure. ... See MoreSee Less

GRESLEY OLD HALL | 03.01.20

Last night to celebrate the New Year, Gresley Old Hall became our home for the evening for our private team "do". Although many HE crew couldn't make it, it was a lovely social gathering and of course, a chance to investigate one of our fondest locations at our leisure.
Although I had no plans to divulge the evenings paranormal antics, having caught a phenomenal EVP 2 floors up whilst EVERYONE was downstairs, it would be crazy not to share at least that bit!

What you hear is a crew members voice caught on the recorder (via a mobile phone on loud speaker) and then, a couple of bangs on command, followed by a class A EVP saying "Goodbye". We did not hear this in real time, only on playback.

A cracking start to 2020! ... See MoreSee Less

Whilst we may have taken our first weekend off since August, last week was still a busy week chasing paranormal activity down at Drakelow Tunnels with a bunch of cracking University students as part of their degree!
As it was a private gig there was no report (homework) to write up but here's the feedback from the University Professor...

"Just a quick note to say thank you for hosting the event. We had a fantastic time and the students really enjoyed it. Also the EVP of ‘help me’ on two separate recorders was one of the most compelling pieces of evidence gathered to date. Both creepy and fascinating"

We're back out on public investigations this weekend with places still available at "The Hostel" and York Dungeons. Check out the website for further December event details!...

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
