Halloween Experiences
Halloween is a time which can be spent partying the night away, causing some mayhem and visiting the vast amount of haunted houses and castles that are around the UK. However, for something a little bit more unique it might be worthwhile considering some scary alternatives, by spending the night in a haunted building and raising some money as well. Alternatively you might want to go on a ghost walk or a tour bus with a difference. | | Halloween Grand Theatre Fright Night
The Grand Theatre in Lancaster is one of the oldest theatres in England and was built in 1782 when it was opened by Joseph Austin and Charles Edward Whitlock. The theatre is said to be haunted by a young woman called Sarah Siddons who performed there on several occasions. The ghost of Sarah, who is also referred to as the Grey Lady has been seen drifting across the auditorium or sitting in the back of the stalls.
Your challenge if you dare, is to spend a night in this haunting environment and keep a vigil for any paranormal activity. Bodmin Jail
The original Bodmin jail was built in 1779 for King George III. Today’s jail was constructed by its prisoners who had to move 20,000 tons of granite from Bodmin’s local quarries. During the First World War the jail held important government documents and also the Doomsday book. |
As you spend a night in this spooky jail see if you can hear the screams from the empty cells, which are said to be heard echoing through the walls. There is also said to be a male presence that can be heard jangling his keys. Ghost bus tours
Fancy taking a ride on a ghost bus around England’s capital city of London? There are several promotional companies who offer this experience complete with a vintage double-decker bus and scary looking conductors. Ghost bus tours take you around London as you learn the secrets of the city’s murky past.
Chislehurst Caves
On Halloween night Chislehurst caves are open for the public to explore. These dark and mysterious labyrinths of caves extend 22 miles beneath the peaceful village of Chislehurst. They were built over thousands of years, and provide the perfect experience for someone seeking an experience they will never forget. The caves have a bloody past and are said to be haunted by those who have lost their lives within their dark and confusing matrix of tunnels. | |
