Once the stately home of Lady Beryl Groves, Revesby Abbey feels as if it is isolated from the rest of the world in its 10 acres of land. This grade I listed building dates back to 1845 and was abandoned in 1968.

The very first building on this site, also known as Revesby Abbey, was a Cistercian Monastery. Monks from the Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire were the first to inhabit Revesby, led by Saint Aelred.

The Abbots became very poor at managing Revesby Abbey and so in 1538, the Duke of Norfolk wrote to Thomas Cromwell to inform him that the Abbey was in ‘great ruin and decay’ and so it was destroyed as were so many other’s under the rule of King Henry VIII.

The current Abbey is the third building to be called Revesby Abbey and was designed by the renowned Scottish architect, William Burn in 1843 and the building was completed in 1845. The Abbey is built in Jacobean style and stands proudly out of site, tucked away in it’s 10 acres of medieval deer park.

Ghost hunts at Revesby Abbey can be one of the most terrifying experiences as we go deep into the building’s vast basements and its endless maze of dark corridors. Countless reports of disembodied voices, people being touched and grabbed by unseen hands, dark figures moving towards people, bangs, loud footsteps, whistling and even doors opening and closing of their own accord are all common occurrence at Revesby Abbey.

Scolton Manor Ghost Hunts

About Scolton Manor

Scolton Manor as it stands today is a victorian manor house completed in 1842. Scolton Manor is nestled in the Scolton estate, the estate its self was owned by the Higgons family since the late Elizabethan era. The Scolton and Higgon stories are closely linked from the time of Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth onwards. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the family was forced away for an uncertain number of decades after a catastrophic fire destroyed the old house. But by the 1830s James Higgon had put in motion plans to return to Scolton, and early in the next decade were completed the manor, stable block and walled garden that still stand today. From then on the family, house and estate were at the heart of the social and economic life of the area. Scolton’s need for staff made it the region’s chief employer and a local hub; successive generations of Higgons produced three Sheriffs of Pembrokeshire, as well as heroes of both World Wars; and the house itself served as a convalescent hospital for servicemen during the Second World War.

From devastating fires to alleged illegitimate children, there is so much history associated with this old manor house, there is no surprise that there are stories of spooky goings on, from objects moving of their own accord, singing coming from empty rooms along with dark figures that have been seen on many occasions by staff and visitors alike. Could the Higgon family be causing these hauntings? Join us for a night of intense ghost hunting to see if you can uncover the story behind who or what haunts Scolton Manor.

About Great House

Used as a family home during the Elizabethan period and remained with the same family for four generations. Inside, the derelict staircase came from Dunraven Castle. There is a hidden passageway within the wall that leads from one floor to another; was this used as a hideout or quick escape? There have been countless recorded deaths within the house. Who could be behind the ghostly going on in this amazing location?

Anne Boleyn visited the Great House several times, and her face is carved into one of the original door panels. A mischievous spirit has been witnessed running up the stairs and in and out of rooms, a woman is heard shouting on the lower floors and the spirit of a gentleman who likes to scare children, doors opening and closing along with the kettle turning on of its own accord.

30 East Drive

Scare-O-Meter:

Will you dare to enter the infamous poltergeist house that is 30 East Drive in Pontefract, West Yorkshire?

When the Pritchard family moved into this unassuming house in 1966 they thought they had found their dream home, that was until the poltergeist now known as ‘Fred’ started to target the family with strange and unexplainable events which over the years grew increasingly frightening and violent.

As documented in the film based on the events which took place in the house, ‘when the lights went out’, Fred aimed his most aggressive and terrifying attacks at the Pritchard’s young children, Phillip and Diane.

With activity in abundance at this location, we can honestly say that all the times we have visited, we have never left disappointed. Objects get moved, doors close, doors open, foot steps are heard, figures are seen walking the stairs and landing and apparitions are often captured on camera in the mirror at the bottom of the stairs and things are thrown around the house. Most recently in a fit of temper, Fred trashed Diane’s bedroom. Who will be brave enough to do a lone vigil in the completely dark, cold and frightening coal house?

A highly recommended location for a ghost hunt. Who will you find lurking behind a door or in one of the bedrooms?

Miskin Manor Ghost Hunts

Scare-O-Meter:

About Miskin Manor

Miskin Manor has a long and fascinating history dating back to the 10th Century when Wales was divided into Cwmwds (sections). One of these Cwmwds was Miskin. It is believed that the place name evolved from ‘Maes Cun’, meaning ‘Lovely plain’.

Around 1100, Nest, a daughter of the Prince of Glamorgan, lived at Miskin with her husband and occupied the Lordship and Manor of that name. Later, the ‘Bassets’ occupied the house for six generations, who sold it to David Williams in 1857.

As a well-known Welsh bard with the Bardic title of Alaw Goch, David Williams was a philanthropist to whom the National Eisteddfod owes a great deal. Miskin Manor was rebuilt and extended under his ownership in 1864, and the work was continued by his son, Judge Gwilym Williams, whose wife, strangely enough, was a descendant of Nest. Judge Gwylim’s statue stands outside the law courts in Cardiff.

The Manor then passed on to Sir Rhys Williams, whose wife, Juliet, was the daughter of the novelist Elinor Glyn. Under the ownership of Sir Rhys, the Manor saw a great deal of society life and even had the honour of entertaining the Prince of Wales (later to become Edward VIII) on one of his trips to Wales in the 1920s. On Sir Rhys’ death, the Manor was passed on to Sir Brandon Rhys Williams.

The Manor has suffered two major fires this century, threatening its future. The first, in 1922, destroyed all but the external walls. The photographs on the ground floor of Miskin Manor illustrate the extent of the damage. The second fire occurred in 1952, shortly after which the house was transformed from a convalescent home into post-war flats.

From being a wartime hospital to many fires and deaths, it’s no surprise that this ancient manor house has spooky tales and is rated as one of Wales’ top nine haunted buildings.

Bangs, knocks, shadows passing the corridors, and items being moved are all but a few of the spooky occurrences at Miskin Manor, and many staff have reported strange happenings.

Priory Theatre Ghost Hunts

Scare-O-Meter:

About Priory Theatre

The Priory Theatre Company gave its first performance, as the Kenilworth Players, on 13th January 1932 on a portable stage in the old Abbey Hotel Ballroom. After six productions, the Players disbanded in 1939 leaving their stage and equipment in a timber yard near the centre of Coventry where miraculously, most of it survived the war.

Late in 1945 work began on converting a disused Chapel (built in 1816) into a Theatre as a permanent home for the newly reformed Players. Using the original stage equipment and timber from the cases which housed aircraft being convoyed across the Atlantic during the war, a stage and raked auditorium were built and the Priory Theatre opened on 8th April 1946.

Work continued to improve the Theatre. In 1947, the rear of the stage was extended. In 1951 the Dress Circle was built, upholstered seating installed throughout and by the summer of 1952 there was a kitchen and two first floor Dressing Rooms. By 1965 the stage had been extended once again to more than double its original depth and a new foyer built at the front of the building.

A ‘Graduate Section’ had been in existence in the early 1950’s, but it was not until 1967 that the ‘Young Stagers’ were formed to encompass the talents and enthusiasm of the young people who had appeared in a major production that year. Now called the Priory Youth Theatre, they are a flourishing part of the Theatre, contributing to Main Theatre productions as well as staging major productions.

In 1968, the Kenilworth Players became the Priory Theatre Company and in 1972 gained admission to the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain. By 1974 a Lounge Bar had replaced the Dressing Room off the Circle Foyer.

But on 4th September 1976 came the destruction of thirty years work when fire gutted the Theatre. Undaunted, the members set about the rebuilding, making great improvements to all areas, especially the back stage facilities. Four full scale productions were staged at local Amateur and Professional Theatres while rebuilding continued and the Gala Re-opening took place on 28th September 1978.

One year later, the Company was hosting its first Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain National Conference and welcoming delegates from all over the country to a packed weekend of activity.

Still to this day many people still attend the Priory Theatre including visitors to seek the many reports of paranormal activity. We dare you to join us on a ghost hunt at this former chapel, the theatre still has a crypt that is awaiting you to investigate the strange goings on at this location.

Many have reported strange noises and foot steps and shadows moving around the many of the areas in this location and many past paranormal investigations have encountered an oppressive energy.

Merley House Ghost Hunts

Scare-O-Meter:

About Merley House

Merley (originally spelt Myrle) was an ancient manor belonging to the Lords of Canford. In 1751, Ralph Willett purchased the estate and is responsible for the building of the larger and much grander house we see today.

Willett’s great enthusiasm for architecture led to the design of the three storey building, rendered on the north side in Portland stone, featuring three balconies and four ionic pilasters supporting the entablature. In 1772 two wings were added one of which contained the new library as Willetts vast collection had outgrown the existing library in the house. Unfortunately these two wings were demolished in the early 1800s following an auction of the books and paintings they housed by the then owner, John Willett.

A walled garden was built to the North East of the house with an Orangery on the south side. This has survived to this day and used to be known as the Merley Bird Gardens, home to many exotic bird species. It is now the Orangery Suite; a unique venue for conferences and events which can be hired in conjunction with Merley House.

In 1875 the whole estate was sold by auction but there is little information as to whom it was sold until it was bought by Ivor Guest, 1st Lord of Wimborne. In 1927, the MP for South Dorset, Angus Valdemar Hambro purchased the estate in a dilapidated condition, spending two years renovating it.

In 1939 the out break of war meant that the house was requisitioned by the War office. When they left in 1946 the house was again sold at auction. Now down to just 270 acres it was sold in 14 lots and the house was converted into flats.

During the 1960s a holiday park was started, by the present owners, to help finance the restoration of the house. The ground floor was opened to the public and contained a collection of model cars, lorries, airplanes, ships and train sets. Most recently the downstairs was restored again to create spacious and elegant areas for different events and the upstairs for office space where views of Wimborne can be enjoyed.

With all the history attached to this stunning Georgian country manor it is no surprise that there are many reports of paranormal activity. Many visitors and passersby have reported seeing ghostly apparitions that seemingly disappear. Many visitors over the years have refused to enter many of its rooms due to an unnerving feeling. Many of the buildings staff have reported many spooky happenings. Will you be able to add to the stories of the hauntings here at Merley house? We dare you to join us as we conduct a paranormal investigation at this historic location?
