We have been summoned back… to a building where the walls remember, where laughter and sorrow linger, and where the spirits of centuries refuse to rest. This historic hotel in Hitchin is steeped in darkness, with countless reports of ghostly activity from staff, guests, and all who dare to walk its halls.

HertsLive once revealed chilling accounts of its hauntings:

“With not just one ghost said to linger here, the hotel seems to harbour many. Room 10 is whispered to be the most haunted—where a woman makes her presence known. One man awoke to the horrifying sensation of her pressing down upon his face, suffocating him. He fled in terror, unable to remain until daylight. In the 1800s, Lord Havisham, crushed by gambling debts, ended his life within these walls… but his restless spirit is said to wander still. Staff have even claimed to see a hooded monk drift toward the bar and pour himself a drink.”

My own encounter was no less unsettling. In one room, I heard the eerie laughter of a woman lingering in the air. In an en-suite bathroom, I watched a glowing orb shoot across the room. In the ballroom, the atmosphere turned heavy—an invisible presence pressing close. And in the bar beside it, I felt the sorrow of a young boy’s spirit, watching, waiting.

Years ago, during a Halloween investigation, our group experienced phenomena that chilled us to the bone. Room 10 and the ballroom erupted with activity—the Ouija board so restless we could scarcely keep up. We believe we reached a jealous spirit, a man fiercely guarding his “lady” from others even in death.

Now, we return… and you are invited to walk beside us into the shadows.

🕖 Arrival: 7:00 pm

🍽️ Dinner: 7:30 pm (please choose your meal when booking)

The question is—will you join us in the darkness, and face those who never left?

Our investigations will begin at 9:00 pm, after we’ve introduced you to the equipment that will help us connect with the spirits. Before we step into the shadows, we’ll place a protection prayer to ensure a safe passage through the night.

As the witching hour approaches, you’ll have the chance to take our equipment into your own hands and wander the darkened rooms alone—seeking answers from those who linger in the unseen.

Throughout the night, Izzy, our gifted tarot reader, will be available for personal readings (additional cost).

We intend to close our vigil at midnight. 

Long before it became The Harvester in Hemel Hempstead, this building was a bustling posting house, first recorded in the 1851 census. Horses were kept here, ready to carry mail and travelers alike—much like the mail services of today. By 1861, it had been renamed The Railway Hotel, with stables for seven horses, and for decades the Dunning family tended to its affairs, leaving traces of their lives behind in the walls, floors, and hallways.

Over the years, whispers of the unexplained have haunted the building. Current staff have reported eerie happenings: the ladies’ hand dryer turning itself on in the dead of night while the restaurant is locked, and mysterious footsteps captured on CCTV in the car park, only to vanish before anyone can be seen. During our last investigation, the building proved intensely active—EMF meters spiked without cause, ouija boards responded with unsettling messages, and one investigator felt an invisible hand tug at their hair. Some say the house remembers its past… and those memories are not at rest.

Tickets for this chilling night include a buffet supper. Drinks will be available from the bar, but the food is included in the price.

Once a humble farmhouse, this building was owned by John Thurloe, secretary to Oliver Cromwell. A foundation stone, dated 1667, still rests in the fireplace of Cromwell’s Bar, though much of the building’s history remains cloaked in shadows and unanswered questions.

For centuries, whispers of the unexplained have clung to these walls. Guests and staff have reported objects moving on their own, lights flickering in the dead of night, televisions switching themselves on, and hangers rattling as if unseen hands roam the wardrobes. Chilling drops in temperature, ghostly children’s laughter echoing through empty corridors, and mysterious noises from the cellar have all left even the bravest hearts racing. Some say the house remembers its past… and its past is far from at rest.

The experience begins at 7:30 pm and lingers until 1:30 am. Tea, coffee, and snacks will be available throughout the night—though no refreshment can ward off what may be waiting in the shadows.

Perched beside Watling Street in Cannock, The Four Crosses Inn looks like any old English pub—half-timbered, stooped under centuries of history. Yet to those who've lingered after closing time, it is more than a public house. It's a place where time thins, and the dead still gather for one last round.

Built in the 17th century upon the foundations of a 1600s coach house, The Four Crosses has seen births, deaths, and darker things whispered across its ale-stained tables. The walls are thick, but not thick enough to contain the stories. Patrons have spoken of shadows that move against the grain of light, of phantom children darting up the staircase, and of a woman weeping in an upstairs room long after the guests have gone.

Perhaps the most chilling account is of the young girl said to have hanged herself from a beam above the bar centuries ago. Her small figure has been glimpsed in the corner of mirrors—her eyes hollow, her face pale as the moonlight that bleeds through the old leaded glass. Staff have found children's toys moved in locked rooms, footsteps pacing in empty corridors, and glasses flung from shelves as though in sudden fury.

Paranormal investigators who've braved the night here report cold spots so intense they burn the skin, disembodied whispers caught on static, and a presence that seems to breathe against the back of your neck. Some say the inn sits on a crossroads older than the building itself—a place where spirits have long wandered, drawn to the pull of the earth and the promise of the living who dare to listen.

The Four Crosses is not merely haunted—it is alive with the memory of those who never left. Every echo in its low beams, every flicker of candlelight on its warped walls, feels like a reminder that time moves differently here.

Join us for an unforgettable night of paranormal investigation at one of Staffordshire's most notoriously haunted locations.

Your experience begins at 8:45 PM as you step inside this centuries-old inn, where countless reports of ghostly activity have been recorded. Throughout the night, you'll take part in both traditional and modern paranormal experiments — including table tipping, glass divination, Ouija boards, and watch-and-wait vigils using the latest ghost-hunting technology.

Working in small teams, we'll explore as much of this eerie location as possible to uncover who — or what — still haunts its shadowed rooms. For those seeking an even more personal encounter, you'll have the opportunity to use our equipment and conduct your own investigation, immersing yourself in the atmosphere of this legendary building.

We finish at 2:00 AM, leaving you with an experience — and perhaps a few questions — you won't soon forget.

For those not wanting to drive home in the early hours there is a Premier Inn a few minutes away at Watling Street, Cannock       WS11 1SJ

Step inside the 19th-century York House, a building whose calm exterior hides decades of eerie reports. Once a grand home, later a girls' school and youth centre, it now hosts unsettling experiences that investigators can't explain.

Guests have described cold spots, strange scents, unseen touches, and a powerful sense of being watched. Some nights, the atmosphere shifts so sharply it's been linked to an "angry presence" lurking in the dark.

Join us as we explore the shadowed rooms and haunted history of York House.

Are you brave enough to face what lingers inside?

Arrival time is 8 PM and we finish at midnight.

This will be our third visit to The British Schools Museum.

Used by many paranormal groups, this building has a long history of spooky going's on, but being the last surviving Monotorial Schoolroom in the world, it's an amazing building in it's own right.

On an initial walkround, back in 2019, I witnessed a school mistress, dressed in a tweed two-piece, in one of the girls classrooms, a shadow of someone at the end of the corridor upstairs and a group of us heard a baby crying in the head masters living quarters, along with emf readings and cat balls being triggered!

Arrival time is 7.30 pm and we will aim to leave by 1.30 am.
