The Star Alfriston, East Sussex built in 1260's it is reputed to be one of the country's oldest hostelries.

Known as 'The Star of Bethlehem' until at least 1520, the hotel was then run by the monks of Battle Abbey offering shelter to friars and pilgrims on their way to the Shrine of St Richard at Chichester.

As a Holy House, a wooden 'Sanctuary Post' gave fugitives and smugglers instant church protection. The Post can be seen in the bar today.

The Hotel's Lion figurehead is thought to be from a Dutch Warship, which sank in The English Channel. The lion washed ashore at Cuckmere Haven and brought into Alfriston by a gang of well-known local smugglers. The smugglers gang leader was sent to Australia in 1830.

The ghost hunt will include a paranormal investigation of the most active public areas of the hotel, including two of the oldest (haunted) bedrooms.

Fort Borstal, Chatham, Kent was built as an afterthought from the 1859 Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom, by convict labour between 1875 and 1885, to hold the high ground southwest of Rochester, South East England. It is of polygonal design and was never originally armed. An anti-aircraft battery was based there in the Second World War.

Initially Fort Borstal was not one of the planned forts of the 1860 commission however it was later decided another fort was needed to protect the high ground overlooking the River Medway. This was due to plans to construct forts from Temple Marsh in Strood to Shornemead fort and the re-use of the fortifications between Fort Pitt and Fort Clarence being dropped. The construction of the fort began in December 1875, it was delayed due to waiting for the completion of a nearby convict prison where the work force was coming from. The fort was built very similar to the forts at Portsmouth with a straight rear section defended by a loopholed wall. It is here that the main entrance can be found, initially a roller bridge with the remains still visible now access is via the roof of the caponier. A dry defensive ditch surrounded the fort, the straight section at the rear was protected by the caponier with the south and northwest angles of the ditch being protected by counterscarp galleries. Troop accommodation was a row of casemates at the rear of the fort, a central roadway leading to the front of the fort separated these, the Officers quarters and administration could be found to the left of the entrance. At the front you can find a second set of casemates, these were used as the control centre for the fort, nearby are two expense magazines. There are a total of five expense magazines within the fort, they were used to send shells and cartridges to the ramparts via the serving rooms above. A large magazine can be found to the northwest inside the fort, as can the reservoirs. Lighting inside the main magazine was from lamps within light recesses placed via the lighting passage, this surrounds the magazine and associated passages. Other underground features include the caponier that is accessed via staircases within the fort, two counterscarp galleries and a protected walkway in the form of a tunnel connecting each areas of the fort. When the fort was complete in 1883 no formal gun emplacements were added as the armament was to be guns in field carriages however there were many additions to the fort during it's working life and gun emplacements were added at a later date.

During the First World War the fort was used as a stop off point for troops and stores travelling to France, as was Fort Amherst nearby, after this the fort was used by a T. A. unit, namely the 166 City of Rochester Battery Royal Artillery, for training. The fort was also occupied by a detachment of the Royal Marines from nearby Chatham.

With the serious upcoming threat of the Second World War four 4.5" anti-aircraft guns were installed above the front casemates in preparation of the hostilities, each gun was set into a permanent concrete emplacement. Ammunition was transported to the guns via a light railway. The fire control post was situated above the rear casemates, most of the casemates were used as magazines for the A.A guns ammunition. During this time many locals believed Fort Borstal was the home of a 'Big Bertha' Gun, this belief was due to the guns being electronically fired simultaneously giving off a massive boom and sounding like just one large gun being fired. The gunners were accommodated within the fort but other personnel stationed here were housed in a large hutted camp just outside the entrance where the NAAFI could be found.

The Brook Red Lion Hotel in Colchester, Essex is a historical Grade I listed building dating back to 1465. Located in the busy town centre of Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town, The Brook Red Lion Hotel in Colchester is one of the oldest inns in the area.

With Tudor features which include beautiful exposed wooden beams and warm red and gold fabrics.

The Brook Red Lion Hotel has 24 individually furnished rooms that provide all the amenities guests would expect from a modern hotel, but with the added comfort of plush Tudor style interiors. The range of tastefully decorated accommodation include single, double, twin bedrooms and a four poster bedroom.

The Parliament Restaurant at the Red Lion Hotel is a warm and intimate restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere in what was once the old Banqueting Hall, still showing its timbered beams.

There are three ghosts - a small boy that can be seen in the Parliament restaurant occassionally and has appeared in a guest's photograph, a ghostly monk that hangs around in reception, but the most active is Alice Millar.
Alice was a chambermaid at the hotel and was killed by a lover.
Alice has regularly been heard whispering and even talking to staff.
There are recent accounts of people's hair being pulled and a womans voice appearing on a video taken in one of the rooms, with no obvious cause.

The original rooms still have their original wattle and daub beams and are simply stunning. They are also, obviously, the most haunted.

The ghost hunt will include a hot buffet and a paranormal investigation of the most active public areas of the hotel, including one or two of the haunted bedrooms.

This ghost hunt will include a two course Halloween meal

Fort Horsted was the largest of the five forts designed to defend Chatham's eastern and southern approaches. Many changes were made to the original design of Horsted since its inception in the 1860's. Most noticeably Fort Horsted does not have caponiers or other exposed external features clearly visible in earlier works such as the Drop Redoubt in Dover. This was due to the development of high explosive shells in the intervening period between the 1860's and the eventual construction some twenty years later. Fort Horsted was finished by 1889, but never received the full compliment of armament she was designed for. In 1902 Fort Horsted was mounted with seven machine guns. In the Second World War AA guns were mounted at the Fort.

During the scan we came across some areas which were unpleasant for any length of time, just had that feeling that you wanted to get out!

Other areas were spooky as we felt that we were being watched and in one particular tunnel the feeling of being 'escorted' out!

This is a highly active place with many tunnels and rooms which have been untouched for several years. This place oozes spiritual activity!
Reported paranormal activity:-
- A little girl whose voice has been recorded by visitors
- Shadowy figures witnessed in the tunnels
- Areas so scary that people refuse to visit!
- Sounds of people approaching, and no-one arrives
- Mumbling or talking sounds in the tunnels
- Spirits that make people laugh for no reason at all!
One not to be missed

Eastbourne Fort Redoubt was built between 1804 and 1810 to support the associated Martello towers in defending against the threat of an invasion by Napoleon. It has defended the Eastbourne coast for nearly 200 years. Like its twin Dymchurch Redoubt it was built as a barracks and supply depot for the towers, and designed for 11 guns, although only 10 guns were installed. During the First World War the Redoubt was used by the military police as a headquarters and temporary jail. During the Second World War the building was requisitioned by the army to be used for storage. Canadian troops also spent time there in the build up to the D-Day landings. After the war, the Redoubt was home to a model village and an aquarium. The model village was vandalised in the 1970s, and the aquarium closed in 1996.
