  Wellington Hotel, Boscastle  
  Join Richard Felix and his Paranormal Team from Derby Gaol for a
fascinating night of ghost hunting in the very haunted Wellington Hotel,
Boscastle, as seen on Most Haunted!

The Wellington Hotel, Boscastle's famous old coaching inn, has more than its fair share of ghostly inhabitants. Some years ago the Hotel's owner, Victor Tobutt, was working at the reception desk when the figure of a man drifted silently past him. Looking up, he was surprised to see that the man wore leather gaiters and boots, a frock coat and a frilled shirt, such as might have been worn by an 18th century coachman, and his hair tied back in the old fashioned style. "There was nothing insubstantial about him", Victor told, "he looked remarkably solid." To his shock, the apparition disappeared through the wall, but when he began to describe what he had seen to one of his employees, the man completed the description for him. Apparently he too had seen the ghostly visitor on more than one occasion.

Another employee at The Wellington Hotel, retired policeman Bill Searle has twice witnessed a misty shape wearing what appears to be a cloak drift across the landing and disappear through the wall of a guest room. It is thought to be the spirit of a young girl who, crossed in love, flung herself in despair from the ramparts of the hotel's tower. Victor also believes that another part of the building is haunted by a murdered man, and there is also an "animal friendly" spirit, which was eagerly pursued by the small dog belonging to the writer of ghost stories who stayed in the hotel. Several of the staff and customers have also witnessed a dark shape float down the stairs and disappear into the cellar late at night.

Price includes a main course meal of chicken and mushroom pie with vegetables with five bean chilli with rice and the bar will be open as well for those needing a little bit of Dutch Courage!!!
The evening will include a talk from Richard, followed by a night full of vigils, table tipping, glass divination, seances and many other paranormal investigations! All with Richard Felix and his Paranormal Team. Rooms can be booked at the Wellington for after the event with a 10% discount for those attending the event

  Leicester Guildhall  
  Leicester's Guildhall is a Grade I listed timber framed building, with the earliest part dating from c1390. The Guildhall once acted as the town hall for the city until the current one was commissioned in 1876.

Although some parts are earlier, the majority of the building dates from the 15th century. It's located in the old walled city, on a street now known as Guildhall Lane. It was used first as the meeting place for the Guild of Corpus Christi and then later for the more formal Corporation of Leicester. The hall was used for many purposes, including council meetings, feasts, as a courtroom, and the ultimatum given to the city during English civil war was discussed and for theatrical performances.
 
The Great Hall was built around 1390 as the meeting place of the Guild of Corpus Christi; the guild was a group of businessmen and gentry who had religious connections. The Guildhall was used for banquets, festivals, and as a home for a priest who prayed for the souls of Guild members in the nearby St Martin's Church. The Corporation of Leicester bought the Guildhall by the end of the 14th century.

The Guildhall was retained in use until quite late. It was not until 1876 that the Corporation moved to the new Leicester Town Hall. It was later used as a police station and school, before becoming a museum.

The Guildhall is a Grade I Listed Building, and the surrounding area, also including the Cathedral of St Martin's, is a conservation area, one of three in Leicester.
With five reported ghosts, the Guildhall is reputedly Leicester's most haunted building.
 
The evening will include a tour around the Museum. Followed by a night full of vigils, table tipping, glass divination, seances and many other paranormal investigations! All with Richard Felix and his Paranormal Team.

  Bolling Hall - Bradford  
  Back By Popular Demand

This is a very popular location, so much so that it gets booked up very quickly. Not only with the venue its self but with most paranormal groups.

We had quite a night back in 2009, and felt we needed to return to the oldest building in Bradford.
