1. What happens on a ghost hunt event?

Upon arrival guests will be met by a UK Ghost Nights team member and shown to the base room. Once all guests have arrived there will be a short talk introducing the UK Ghost Nights team and mediums, general health and safety information and details of how the evening will be structured.

Guests will then be divided into two groups. One group will be taken on a walk around the venue with the medium, the other will participate in an energy workshop.

During the walk you will be given a brief history of the venue and be able to get your bearings. The medium will also telling you where they feel spirit presences and who they believe it is. The energy workshop consists of instruction in the use of pendulums, dowsing rods, EMF meters, and how to become more energy aware for spirit communication.

Following the walk and workshop, guests will be split into smaller groups to carry out vigils throughout the venue. These vigils may include séances, table tipping, planchette work, and glass moving. Occasionally a spirit board will be used.

Following the group vigils there will be free time to carry out your own vigils around the venue.

2. What equipment should I bring?

During the event the lights will be off so it is important that you bring a torch. Video and stills cameras are also welcome, as well as any other equipment you feel may aid your investigations.

3. Are refreshments provided?

Throughout the night there will be scheduled breaks for hot drinks and snacks. This generally consists of tea, coffee, squash, crisps and chocolate biscuits. If a meal is included this will be detailed on the event page.

4. Can I stay with my party members?

We will always try to keep guests that have booked together in the same groups.

5. Are there any special clothing requirements?

It is advisable to wear warm clothing as venues can get cold at night, especially during the winter, and some may involve outside vigils. Some venues are in damp caves, dusty rooms or outside, so it is also advisable to wear clothing you don't mind getting dirty. Please also ensure you wear sensible and comfortable footwear, appropriate to climbing stairs, outside vigils, etc.

6. Will somebody be available to answer my questions?

The UK Ghost Nights team will available throughout the event to answer any questions you may have and to help you get the most out of your paranormal ghost hunt.
