Some Famous Ghost Hunt Venues

If you’re an avid ghost enthusiast, you may have already heard of some of the classic ghost hunting venues which tourists flock to...

Chillingham Castle Overnight Ghost Hunt

The ghost hunt overnight stay at the medieval Chillingham Castle takes the crown as the most haunted castle in England! Reports of ghostly apparitions over the years makes this place the ideal spot for ghost hunting.

 

The castle was originally a monastery during the 12th century, housing King Edward I during his travels to battle William Wallace, the Scottish rebel. Hundreds of years later, it acted as an army barracks during WWII. Hopeful spirit hunters look forward to hearing the ghostly wails of Lady Mary Berkeley and the “blue boy”.

Queen Mary Overnight Ghost Hunt

The Queen Mary ship is stationed on the shores of LA, and is a retired Britsh ocean liner which sailed mainly between America and the UK during its 30 years of service. It’s said to be one of the most haunted places in the world due to the many deaths on-board.

 

Stories have circulated regarding the ship, especially room B340, which is said to be the most haunted room aboard. Lights and taps turning on and off on their own, as well as strange noises and knocks on the door have all been reported. A night on board comes to $400 a night, and visitors are provided with tarot cards, a ouija board, and a crystal ball to enhance the ghostly experience.

 

Since being stationed in California, numerous visitor experiences are now available, providing the chance to explore the ship overnight. With a tour guide leading the way, and ghost-hunting equipment sensing any changes, it proves to be a thrilling experience for all!

Nopeming Sanatorium Overnight Ghost Hunt

The Nopeming Sanatorium is a beautiful building situated in Minnesota, which houses the dark and chilling stories of tuberculosis sufferers in the early 1900s. With many poor souls dying of this painful, mind-debilitating disease, a lot of residents chose to face their deaths by jumping from the roof.

 

A ghost hunting experience here promises a psychic medium, group seances, and an overnight stay, amongst other bonuses. Visitors can expect to hear unexplained noises and screams, witness apparitions and moving objects, amongst a myriad of other spooky happenings.

Overnight Ghost Hunts Equipment Required

From the examples above, providing your visitors with ghost hunting equipment is paramount to creating an exciting night for all. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, overnight ghost hunts are a thrill for skeptics and believers alike! Some of the relevant equipment needed for ghost hunting, which is a great way to get your visitors involved, includes:

• Ouija board: calls spirits to communicate with you.


• EMF reader: reads electro-magnetic frequencies, which are said to be high when ghosts are near.


• Laser lights: when pointed down a hallway, for example, the light will break apart if a spirit lies in its path.


• Motion sensor alarm: can be placed in any room, and will go off when movement is detected.


• Voice recorder: will record any whispering voices.


• Cameras: some spirits will show up on camera alone, whether it be fuzzy figures or orbs, so this is a good way to detect potential spirits.


• Decorations: in order to create a spooky feel, perhaps you could adorn your rooms with children’s toys, old-fashioned furniture, and spooky paintings. Set the scene to create the ultimate experience!
