History of Merchants House
The Merchant's House in Marlborough, Wiltshire is located in Marlborough's historic High Street. Built during the Commonwealth period, 1653 – 1656, The Merchant's House is a rare example of a middle class silk merchant’s house, containing nationally acclaimed wall paintings and decorative features.
Following the fire of Marlborough in 1653, the house was largely rebuilt by wealthy silk merchant, Thomas Bayly.
The house was altered and extended until about 1700. After this, the house was sub-divided and sublet with many different people occupying the building.
The Merchant's House Trust reunited the two halves of the building in 1999.
The house was decorated with wall paintings, wooden panelling and a commanding oak staircase. A substantial amount of this fabric survives and previously hidden painted decoration is still being revealed.
The ghostly activity witnessed here by staff and visitors is frequent and well documented with the most frequent being:-
- A boy in blue seen on the stairs
- A green lady gliding towards the Dining Room
- Doors opening on their own, for no obvious reason
- Unexplained and disembodied footsteps echoing through the rooms

What Happens at the Event
Our events are always 100% investigation and vigil events, we won't waste time by taking you on a history tour of the venue.
We will not usually talk about the history of the building unless people ask us to do so.
We don't hold workshops or briefing on equipment usage. Any equipment that you will be using throughout the event will be explained at the start of each session by our team leaders.
For the first few hours (usually 1 hour per session) you will be in a group and you will spend time with our Mediums1 doing séances, where they will try to get the active spirit to move you in some way (this is not designed to scare you) and with our paranormal investigators doing experiments, table tilting, glass divination, Ouija boards, EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena a.k.a. ghost voice) experiments and other equipment experiments using the latest ghost hunting equipment.
After these controlled sessions you will have the opportunity to venture off on your own or in small groups to explore the venue or to hold lone vigils or re-visiting an activity that you enjoyed in our controlled sessions. In this part of the night you can use our ghost hunting equipment to do your own ghost hunt. You may take photos/videos with your own cameras throughout our ghost hunts. You may also use any of your own ghost hunting equipment during our controlled sessions.
1 A Medium may not be available at every event, please contact us for clarification.
