During the early part of World War II, it was used as a base for Canadian troops preparing for the Dieppe Raid in August 1942.
Mrs R.H. Hotblack purchased the priory in 1959 to preserve it for future generations to enjoy and gave the land and its buildings in trust to the Sussex Archaeological Society, who continue as owners.
Ghostly Activity
Many ghosts have been reported here including; Thomas Sackville, once an owner and still haunts the halls to this day, tormenting the spirit of a young girl called Rosie. She is reported to hide in the wood panelling at the top of the stairs to stay clear of her tormentor.
There is also the Grey Lady, who has been seen by the bridge and the gatehouse on many occasions. A black hooded monk in the undercroft, a young boy in the kitchens, a maid in the hall, and a lady dressed in Tudor clothing walking the corridors.

Location: Harwich, Essex
Date: 17th October 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £47 Per Person
Harwich Redoubt Fort in Harwich, Essex was constructed between 1808 and 1810 to protect the port of Harwich against the threat of Napoleonic invasion. The fort was constructed on a hill, which allowed views in all directions.
French prisoners of war were made to help construct the fort. The fort has a central parade ground. It was originally armed with ten 24 pounder cannons. In 1861 a 68 pounder cannon was added to the fort's weapon range.
Later in 1903 three 12 pounder QF guns were added to the fort. Despite the ongoing modernisation no shot was fired in force. In the 1920s the redoubt was falling into disrepair. The fort was briefly used during the Second World War to house British troops awaiting trial. Restoration started in 1969 and still continues today.
Ghostly Activity
Witnesses have reportedly seen apparitions through the windows and heard unexplained footsteps. Many visitors to the fort have also reported being touched by unseen hands in the lower casements. There have also been many other mysterious noises and apparitions seen by visitors.
The fort is well known for the apparition of a headless soldier. In 1972 a soldier was decapitated by a cable attached to a 12 ton cannon which broke under the strain. It is rumoured that this soldier now roams the fort.

Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich, Suffolk is a beautiful Tudor mansion with over 500 years of history. Christchurch Mansion is built on the site of the Holy Trinity Priory, founded in the 12th century.
In 1894 the mansion was bought by Felix Cobbold from a syndicate of property developments to save the building from demolition. Cobbold, a wealthy local businessman and philanthropist, then offered to give it to the Ipswich Corporation to establish a Museum and Art Gallery. His offer was on condition that the Corporation buy the surrounding parkland for the people of Ipswich. It took Cobbold three attempts to get the corporation to agree to this, but in February 1895 the mansion was transferred to the town and in April 1895 the Corporation purchased the central part of the park. The corporation acquired the Upper Arboretum in 1928.
Ghostly activity
One of the most commonly sighted ghosts is a young Edwardian lady who is seen dancing and laughing in the upper picture gallery of Christchurch Mansion. Often she is said to be accompanied by a couple of happy children.
There is also another female spirit that is seen downstairs in the mansion. Many a visitor has been shocked when the apparition of a lady in grey suddenly appears and swishes right by them in a full-length gown.
It is believed that the young lady passed away in the house under mysterious circumstances!
In 1995, there were reports of paintings turning themselves round on the wall and a Victorian woman seen moving through glass doors!

Ghost Hunt at Old Anglo Brewery (Halloween)
Venue: Old Anglo Brewery
Location: Shepton Mallet, Somerset
Date: 31st October 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £55 Per Person
Check Car Parking
The Old Anglo Brewery in Shepton Mallet, Somerset was built in 1864. During the construction workers discovered Roman pottery kilns and Severn Valley Ware from the 1st or 2nd century AD on the site, proving the location was an industrial hub over 1,800 years ago.
In 1872, the brewery was renamed the "Anglo-Bavarian Brewery" and employed specialized brewers from Bavaria to create a German-style lager, a product largely unknown in Britain at the time.
The brewery was incredibly successful, exporting 1.8 million bottles of beer annually across the British Empire. However During World War I, the inclusion of "Bavarian" on their bottles made them unpatriotic, leading to the brewery's eventual downfall in 1921.
Between 1868 and 1921, the brewery actually operated its own fire brigade, which served the entire town of Shepton Mallet. They notably helped fight the 1904 fire at the famous Shepton Mallet Prison.
In 1939, the Air Ministry requisitioned the site and removed and destroyed much of the industrial machinery and copper vats and melted down for scrap metal to support the war effort.
Ghostly Activity
Disembodied voices and footsteps have been heard echoing through the corridors as well as staff feeling that they are not alone and are being watched!

Ghost Hunt at Deal Castle (November)
Venue: Deal Castle
Location: Deal, Kent
Date: 6th November 2026
Time: 7:00pm until 1:00am
Tickets: £49 Per Person
Deal Castle is an artillery fort constructed by Henry VIII in Deal, Kent, between 1539 and 1540. It protected against invasion from France. The Castle comprises of a keep with six inner and outer bastions, the moated stone castle and had sixty-six firing positions for artillery.
During the Second English Civil War of 1648–49, Deal was seized by pro-Royalist insurgents and was only retaken by Parliamentary forces after several months' of fighting.
Although it remained armed, Deal Castle was adapted by Sir John Norris and Lord Carrington during the 18th and 19th centuries to form a more suitable private house for the castle's captain, which was an honorary position.
In 1904, the War Office concluded that the castle no longer had any value either as a defensive site or as a barracks and it was opened to the public when the captain was not in residence. Early in the Second World War, the captain's quarters were destroyed by German bombing and the castle became a Battery Operating Post (one of the first-floor rooms in the keep became the Battery Office) for an artillery battery placed along the shore line. The castle was not brought back into use as a residence and was restored by the government during the 1950s to form a tourist attraction.

Ghost Hunt at Shaw House (Halloween)
Venue: Shaw House
Location: Newbury, Berkshire
Date: 7th November 2026
Time: 8:00pm until 2:00am
Tickets: £59 Per Person
Shaw House in Newbury, West Berkshire was built in 1581 by Thomas Dolman who made his money as a clothier in Newbury. In the October of 1644 the house witnessed the Second Battle of Newbury and although the house remained unscathed, hundreds of soldiers died in a standoff and many believe this plays a large part in the ghostly encounters witnessed on the estate, the ground and the main house.
Shaw House stood empty until 1728, when the Duke of Chandos bought the estate. The Duke (James Brydges) improved the grounds between 1729 and 1737 however he kept within the framework established by the Dolman family. During the Second World War Shaw House was requisitioned and used by the British, American and Canadian armies.
The house accommodated over two hundred men – a far cry from the pampered households of the earlier times. Later in 1942 American and Canadian troops were housed at Shaw; these troops were subsequently to take part in the D-Day landings on the beaches of Normandy in 1944.
In 1949 it was finally purchased by Berkshire County Council for use as a Council School. Shaw House began a new life as a school for local children but sadly in 1985 it was evacuated as there were major concerns about the structure of the building.
The unique feature in relation to the paranormal claims at Shaw House is that many have reported full body apparitions throughout the many rooms as well as the sound of battle on the lawns.
Mysterious balls of blue light and a Grey Lady have been seen in the upper rooms. The screams of a former house maid are also said to echo from a tunnel, which reportedly runs between Shaw House to Donnington Castle. She was killed when the tunnel collapsed. The sound of marching has been heard inside the building, and visitors also claim to feeling watched when they have been alone inside!

Ghost Hunt at Whitstable Castle (Nov)
Venue: Whitstable Castle
Location: Whitstable, Kent
Date: 12th November 2026
Time: 7:30pm until 0:00am
Tickets: £46 Per Person
Whitstable Castle, Whitstable, Kent was built from copperas works in 1790 and this formed the Octagonal Tower. The black tar of the works can still be seen on the walls. The Pearson’s home was known as The Manor House and little is known about its layout except that in 1798 the chimney to the tower was taken down and a staircase put in its place.
The family spent every summer at the house, from their Greenwich based home. Charles Pearson died in 1828. His son Charles Pearson Junior, born in 1786, inherited the estate and carried on using the house as a summer residence. The Tower fell into neglect and he sold it to his cousin by marriage Wynn Ellis.
Wynn Ellis had the most significant impact and made the greatest contribution towards shaping the building and its grounds. In 1897 Tankerton Castle, as it was now known, was sold to Thomas Adams. He added a billiard room to the North of the original tower. This provided a good room with feature fireplace on the ground floor with servants’ quarters upstairs but obstructed the fine sea views of Whitstable Bay. Later this became the Council Chamber.
In 1921 the Castle passed into the hands of Mr Albert Mallandain. A paper manufacturer, he and his wife used it as a summer residence. Changes were made in the building, with a fine new staircase and extensive additional oak panelling to match original designs. The Whitstable Urban District Council, despite some opposition, bought the Castle for the town in 1935.
Following the local government re-organisation in 1972, the Castle remained empty until 1975 when at the instigation of The Whitstable Society the "Castle Centre Association" was created with the aim of using The Castle for the benefit of the people of Whitstable. In 2004 a new committee with its first Castle Co-ordinator began a complete interior upgrade and Weddings and Civil Ceremonies could commence. This brought in much needed income to regenerate the Castle and enable it to return to its original role as a venue for family celebrations, major local events and community activities. A heritage Lottery Grant enabled a new Trust to be formed in 2008 to take over the running of the Castle and Gardens.
