Paranormal Investigations – Halloween Awakening

26th - 27th October £22.50

Paranormal Investigations: Halloween Awakening

It is said that the Isle of Wight is the most haunted county in England, and it is believed by many that Northwood House is the most haunted building of them all. So there is probably no better place on the Island to carry out a real paranormal investigation to see what lies within.

For more than a century, people have believed that due to the myriad of ley-lines that run beneath the Island’s landscape, that powerful magnetic forces exist which are directly responsible for increases in supernatural energy and paranormal activity. It is widely believed in pagan circles that Northwood House lies on one such line making it centre of local attention in the spirit and ghost hunting world.

Whatever you believe then you are probably intrigued by the prospect of the spirit world existing, either as true believer already or as somebody who is open minded enough to the possibility.

You are now invited to join our experienced paranormal investigators to immerse yourselves in the deep history of this much loved, yet seemingly haunted ancient building.

And with some fascinating and unexplained  results from our previous four investigations, who knows what or who we might uncover this time during Halloween, when activity in the spirit world is said to reach it’s peak. Join us on one of two exclusive evenings, where we will go in real search of  paranormal activity…be ready to experience the unexplained.

Your experience will begin with a hot drink and briefing from our paranormal experts before the lights are extinguished and the investigation begins. In near-total darkness you will be split in to two groups and escorted around this Grade II listed building, taking in three floors including the cellar, narrow, winding staircases and even a library that was once used as a morgue. Using professional ghost hunting equipment including EMF meters, infra-red thermal scanners, EVP sound recorders and motion detectors, who knows what you might experience? At the end of the investigation the groups will meet up again to review discuss any unexplained activity.

All we know is this: these investigations are not for the faint-hearted and are aimed at those who believe in paranormal activity and the existence of the spirit world…or at least are open minded enough to find out more. If you’ve had a previous experience or an interaction with the spirit world or even seen a ghost, please let our experts know upon arrival.

Paranormal Investigations- Halloween Awakening, takes place on the evening of 26th and 27th October 2022

Doors open 9.00 pm to meet the paranormal team leaders and for a briefing of the night and what to expect.

Investigations runs from 9.30pm  to midnight (approx).

Complimentary tea, coffee & biscuits available on arrival in the Rotunda entrance.

 A quick convenience break will take place for 10 minutes half way through the evening .

A debrief will take place at the end of the investigation where people can share there experiences before going home.

Exclusive tickets only £22.50 per person.

A very limited number of places are available on each night.

Over 16’s only.

These are serious investigations and are conducted that way. Don’t expect actors in ghost costumes trying to frighten you.
