THE OAK HOUSE MUSEUM REVIEW | 14.02.20

Whilst it's fair to say West Bromwich might not be most peoples first choice for a romantic valentines location, tucked away within West Broms suburbia is a stunning 400 year old tudor building that is easy to fall in love with!. With several rooms to investigate, this olde charmer of a building was a beautiful location to spend time investigating last night!.

As per usual we split guests down into groups, all in turn spending time conducting vigils in the main parlour, kitchen, servants quarters and infamous master bedroom.

Tonights evidence was gentle, but fascinating nevertheless. Ghostly voices, albeit muffled, were captured in the upper bedrooms, with at one point 2 K2 (EMF meters) triggering on command when we we asked if we were welcome in the building. One guest felt pain in her side and when speaking afterwards to the keyholder, this has occurred on previous investigations!
In a later vigil, K2's triggered twice on command in the exact same room where earlier, a female (maid, 1700's, with 1 child) was detected from spirit via a Human Pendulum experiment.

Our Ouija boards made connections with spirit energy from the location, believed to be connected to the building. Activity heightened when the name William was mentioned, which is a name connected with the building. One amazing highlight was a REMPOD triggering in the doorway to the servants bedroom when spirit was asked to enter the room. It triggered on command which was amazing!

We'll add any further evidence to our website blog but in the meantime, thank you to all who attended this special night on our return visit to The Oak House ... See MoreSee Less

RUTHIN JAIL EVENT SUMMARY | 08.02.20

Time certainly flies by and it's been 4 years since we last walked in the footsteps of the former inmates at Ruthin Gaol so it was fantastic to finally get around to revisiting this 1800's County jail over in Wales last night!.

Guests had access to the main prison block with a number of cells to investigate, as well as the former jail kitchen. We investigated the building using an array of techniques, attempting communication via traditional methods as well as through an abundance of paranormal equipment. Some of the highlights were : orbs seen with the naked eye, voices (EVPS) captured, Emf meters triggering on command, keys rattling, footsteps heard, something hitting the railings above and the sense of being watched! Cold spots and the feeling of unwell.

As always, the investigations are always made so much more fun when surrounded by a great bunch of guests and last night was no exception! Thanks to all who travelled to Ruthin and got stuck in to the various experiments. A huge thank you also to last nights team for stepping in and supporting the event. ... See MoreSee Less

Dusting down and bringing out of retirement this rare piece of kit for tonights event as one of our lovely guests wishes to try it! I did warn her it has a tendancy to spell out foliage, diaper, highway and demon (usually in good old English establishments) and low and behold, 3rd word in my kitchen is demon! Gotta laugh! I do love the array of gadgets that can be used on investigations and the Ovilus III is certainly a special toy! However rare, there's a reason this is retired from general use! Lets see what this olde gent comes out with later! 🤪 ... See MoreSee Less

I can’t wait for this later 🥳🤨

Would love it to come out with H.A.R.I.B.O 🤣🤣😂😂

Yeah out of all the kit there is - the Ovilus 3 is the most useless. Mind you we were at Dudley Castle once and it did say "Zoo..." 🤔

NATIONAL EMERGENCY MUSEUM SHEFFIELD REVIEW | 01.02.20

If only we could set off the sirens to help shout about this place we would! This magnificient Victorian building in Sheffield is a fascinating time capsule for the emergency services. With original police cells, fire station, former bedrooms, old stable block all to explore and all crammed with memorabilia (including many unexpecting mannequins lurking!), it is little wonder this location is a firm favourite amongst the team! You can just sense the history from the moment you walk in!

Last night was our 3rd visit here and once again, guests were split into 3 groups to head off and investigate all areas. This location has so many rooms to explore, it's hard to cover all areas in the alloted time!

Ouija boards (Activity Room) -
1. 14 year old boy named William, possibly hanged himself in the cells area. Guest experienced neck pains and being pushed whilst another felt a cold breeze from his leg up to his neck area. The name Alim was sensed, 7 children. Prostitute, raped and murdered by "the gaffer". A light anomaly was also captured by a guest on video.
2. A personal connection was made during vigil 2 as well as the sound of dragging on the floor and a guest feeling like they had been prodded in the back.

Controlled kit Vigil (old stable block and police cells) -
1. Movement devices triggered in the end cell simultaneously and an EVP played back a word that was spoken prior to the recording. Rempod triggered at the far end of the police cells corridor.
2. Male spirit was connected with (during a human pendulum) in his 50's passed from heart problems. A class A EVP was captured in the cell area which can be heard saying " I don't like it, get me out of here". A glass in a cabinet was seen to move.
3. A female spirit, during a further human pendulum, was connected with. A prostitute locked up in one of the cells who had also come forward during an earlier vigil (Alim). Bitterly icy cold spots were felt during this vigil. Spirits William and "the gaffer" were also connected with.

Equipment / lone vigils (former fire station communial areas - upper floors) -
1. A guest experienced the sense of being touched at the back of the old Fire station area and dowsing rods detected energy spots on the ground floor. On the upper floor, a female medic was sensed by a team member which was verified by the location staff.
2. A female (child) spirit (possible name Molly) was sensed by more than one person during lone vigil time.
Upper floor bedroom an EVP was heard on playback swearing after guests asked for the spirits favourite swear word.
3. Shouty style EVP's captured during the last vigil, one which suggests "get back - help me" and a further "get out". This seems to be a possible connection to a dominant male. A further EVP "I see you, climbing up that" was captured in an upper floor bedroom

Thank you to everyone who attended last nights event and to the team who headed into Sheffield in force to help bring forward some cracking paranormal experiences! Guest photos will be posted up later today.

We will be back to this location for Halloween so keep an eye out later in the year for ticket releases! ... See MoreSee Less

THE VILLAGE EVENT REVIEW | 31.01.20

Farewell January! We ended the month of investigations by re-entering "The Village" - a former nightclub and 18th Century slaughter house situated in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
Whilst only parts of the old nightclub are evident today, and it's current use (as a laser tag venue) makes it hard to visualise it's origins as a slaughter house (then malt house), The Village has become a popular place to investigate due to its impressive back catalogue of paranormal reports.

Last night was our 4th investigation here and our Haunted Evenings event certainly added to our list of previous evidence.

To read a more indepth account of what we experienced, please head over to our blog..

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.

www.hauntedevenings.co.uk/2020-blog/

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...

www.hauntedevenings.co.uk/2020-blog/

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 :

www.hauntedevenings.co.uk/2020-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

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
