Who wants to come with us to our ROF Aycliffe (ROF59) Paranormal investigation ? It’s an old factory with stories of hauntings going back years…

We have a brand new location, which we will announce tomorrow!

On Saturday night, we left a motion sensor camera in the Victoria Suit of The Crown Hotel in Harrogate, where staff report seeing a soldier. This room was once a hospital in th war.
In the morning, the team observed that the camera had moved and that it had picked up movement in the room, which excited us, as we had guests leave the room because of something in there.
The following footage is what the camera recorded at around 4:30am. We have not edited anything.

Thank you to our guests who came down to Harrogate for our first investigation at The Crown Hotel. We got some really good activity, and 4 guests in particular left a bit shaken after they had an experience in the old ballroom.

They said that they saw the curtain on the stage move, and shortly afterwards, heard loud footsteps right beside them whilst they were sitting at one of the tables. They were doing by themselves, and half of the hotel heard them as they legged it outside. For a bit of background - when the Air ministry took over the hotel in 1939, that ballroom was used as a hospital for injured soldiers, and with it being a government building and not a public hospital, quite likely they were some of the worst injuries.

It is in this room that James, who is the son of our team member Beverley decided to do his own investigation with the Ovilus, and got a shock when “Soldier” came through.

Staff have seen a soldier in this room. A famous story that gets told is from 1991, and most recently, a night porter called Roger left his job just 2 years ago after he saw the man walking beside the stage whilst doing his rounds.

Beneath the ballroom is a network of tunnels, used as a mortuary. One of our team was touched on the head whilst inside one of the side rooms.

In the Churchill restaurant, we heard knocks, bangs and even cutlery clanking together, and one of the guests was getting what she believed was intelligent communication coming through a K2 meter. The history of this area dates back to the 17th century and it’s believed to be an old staff member that haunts the area.

During the night, 2 of the team members believed they saw each other getting up during the night, but both later telling the other that neither of them got up in the night. This back corridor was once used as RAF offices for signal staff from Leighton Buzzard, and the hotel staff even warn people that check in, if they’re ok having a certain room, because of the complaints they’ve had.

We’d absolutely love to go back. This was a very fun night of ghost hunting!

Evening folks, just to follow up from the last post. if you haven't paid a deposit for upcoming events your place isn't secure. We now require a deposit of 50% to secure all places at future events. we have advertised recent events as 'Sold Out' and have been left with spaces on the night that we could have sold. Apologies if this sounds a little harsh, but we have overheads to cover and as you all know we don't do this to make money, but we do like to cover the costs.
I would like to thank you all for your continued support and hope you understand the reasoning behind this.
We have big plans for the future and I hope you all want to join us on the journey!!!

Thank you,

Don and the team 👻👻

For those coming to the Havelock Towers event in March and the Scaffold Hill (Rising Sun) event in April, we will need guests to confirm their place by paying deposits (50%). This will secure your place. These are in demand events and we have people still asking about them, but we need to ensure that those reserving spaces are attending - this makes it fair for us as an events company, and for guests, so we can take as many of you as possible on a ghost hunt.

If either of those events do interest you, message the page and we will try and secure you a place. If people enquire about the event and are willing to pay a deposit, you will get a space at the expense of those who haven’t.

Nearly time!

Hopefully it’s going to be a good night👻👻

For our guests coming to our paranormal investigation at The Crown Hotel in Harrogate this weekend…

📍The Crown Hotel, Crown Pl, Harrogate, HG1 2RZ
🕰️ 21:00 - 03:00

🚗 The Hotel does have its own carpark in front of the building, but be aware that this will be for all of their guests, so a space cannot be guaranteed, and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. For guests staying over, you can pay for parking at £12 per night. There are other long stay car parks in the area if spaces are not available (use a website called Parkipedia, it’s really good!) Don’t park behind the hotel as this is permit only.

🛏️ For anyone wanting a bedroom, we found it was a lot cheaper to book through 3rd party sites such as Late Rooms, Hotels, and Booking. A lot cheaper in fact!

🔎 We will be investigating various parts of the hotel, some of which are private areas of the building. Due to the fact that this is an active hotel, certain rooms are only available after they have closed to guests, such as the bar area and restaurants, so we will start off investigating the rooms we have access to first, and then moving into other areas after 11pm. I’d advise you either bring personal belongings with you when we move round, or leave them in your rooms.

🤫 There will be other guests staying on the hotel, so please be mindful of them at 3am if returning to your bedrooms.

☕️ Snacks & hot drinks will be provided for guests during the night.

👻 If you see a figure dressed in WWII military uniform standing in your room during the night, don’t worry. Just ring the hotel reception and they will change rooms for you. The staff know which room this happens in so don’t panic, it won’t hurt you.

Our current events with availability.

01/02/2025

For anyone wanting to do a ghost hunt with us, the South Shields Volunteer Life Brigade (The Watchtower) Paranormal Investigation in April is the next event that we have spaces for.

Thanks to all of our guests who joined us for our investigation at Greenside.
We managed to get a few interesting pieces of activity over the course of the night. Guests feeling extreme cold spots during activities seemingly having that claim backed up with the thermal camera also showing large temperature differences.
During a human pendulum, we seemingly spoke to a male colliery worker who believes he died in the 1950s of an illness at his home, but had links to the building via memories with his wife, possibly having a wedding reception there.
Around the same time, a strange smell of “old fashioned aftershave” was picked up by multiple guests.
We also captured some SLS activity in an area close to a bookshelf where guests had reported hearing noises.
Underground in the cellar, several guests were comfortable during a darkness vigil, but within seconds, many of them had to leave because of a negative feeling that came across them.

Our next event is in February at the Crown Hotel. There’s still some spaces if anyone wants to join us!
