Ghost Hunt at Fort Purbrook
We recently attended the ghost hunt at Fort Purbrook and, overall, it was a bit hit and miss for us. It wasn’t the most amazing experience from start to finish - we know this can happen as sometimes the spirits don’t play ball. Other participating members of our group also were not the best, as people were asking ridiculous questions that didn’t really make sense and that became quite annoying after a while. But what really stood out was Adam, who was a fantastic guide throughout the evening.
Adam worked hard to make sure we felt engaged, comfortable, and that we got something meaningful from the tour. We chose not to take part in the Ouija board, and he was very respectful of that. Instead of making us feel excluded, he took the time to help us have a different kind of experience when our group then split up to have their Ouija board.
That ended up being the most significant part of the night for us, as it allowed us to connect with a personal family member who had passed. We really appreciated the care, sensitivity, and effort Adam showed in making sure our time still felt worthwhile and personal.
So while the evening itself was mixed, Adam’s approach, respect, and genuine effort made a real difference and are what we’ll remember most. Thank you Adam!

Thank you so much, Vincent, for your lovely review.
We are thrilled to hear you had such a great night with Laura and the team at Antwerp Mansion on 20th March. It is always brilliant to hear when guests experience plenty of activity, and it sounds like your SLS camera captured some really interesting images in the ballroom too.
Thank you again for joining us, and we would love to welcome you back again for another night with Haunted Houses.
Kind Regards,

Not worth the price
Not worth the price , experience wasn't greet at the fort widley due to staff member falling ill hope is all well now . But there was no haunting equipment that we was promised i really expect a refund due to this. We was expecting history storys or previous haunt stories .
So we went of trail hosts didn't agree with it but we wanted an experience to have free roam around was so much better finding bats walking the cold black tunnels found a sheep protecting a small green area by the moat we didn't want play with cat toys sorry.
I wouldn't look for future bookings .

Dear Gemma,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that this event was not the experience you were personally hoping for.
Unfortunately, one of our team members was taken seriously ill during the evening and remains in hospital today. This was a genuine medical emergency, and despite that situation, the event was successfully continued and completed for guests as best as possible under very difficult circumstances.
We would also like to clarify that equipment was available on the event for guests to use. In addition, this was clearly advertised as a public paranormal investigation event. These events are structured and hosted for the whole group and cannot be run as unrestricted free-roam, as that would create chaos, disrupt the experience for others, and raise obvious safety and management issues.
It also appears there may have been some confusion about the type of event booked. This was not sold or described as a history tour or ghost walk based around storytelling and venue tales. It was advertised in advance as a structured ghost hunt/paranormal investigation, which is a different format entirely.
We are sorry to hear that this style of event was not something you enjoyed, and equally sorry to hear that you do not intend to attend again. However, we do feel it is important to clarify the above points for balance and accuracy.
Kind Regards,
Kit Key

Thanks so much for your lovely review, Gary.
We’re really pleased to hear that both you and your son enjoyed your first experience with us. It’s great to know the team helped make it such a positive night, and that the rest of the group added to that as well.
We really appreciate the recommendation, and we’ll look forward to hopefully welcoming you both again on another event soon.

Thank you so much, Yvonne — that really does say it all ❤️
We’re so pleased you enjoyed everything, and we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. It means a lot to us.
Would Use & Recommend
This was my first ever Ghost Hunt and I really enjoyed. The staff (Dan & Craig) were great, they were super helpful and friendly, they made sure that everyone was looked after and had the freedom to do their own hunt if they wanted or stayed with people who wanted to be in a group for whatever reason.
Unfortunately it was a quiet night and nothing happened or at least that couldn't be explained so I arrived as an open minded sceptic and left an open minded sceptic but despite the fact there was no ghosts I still had fun, met nice people. I would definitely have no problems booking with this company again. Can't say a bad thing about the company or the event!

Thanks so much for your lovely and honest review, Raymond.
We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your first ever ghost hunt with us. Not every night brings big activity, and we always appreciate guests recognising that these events can be unpredictable. What matters most is that you still had a good time, felt looked after, and enjoyed the overall experience.
Dan and Craig will be really pleased to read this. It’s great to hear they helped create a friendly, relaxed night where people could either explore on their own or stay with the group, depending on what suited them best.
Thanks again for coming along, and we’re really glad to hear you’d book with us again.
Great events experience
Great events experience. Been to two now the last one being last night at Ryecroft Hall. Great venue, volunteer staff were great and equipment was also great. Our group investigator Laura was so good. She was knowlegable, enthusiastic and also a good laugh.

Thanks so much for this lovely review, Cara.
We’re really glad you’ve had such a good experience with us, and even better that Ryecroft Hall was another great night for you. It’s a brilliant venue, so it’s lovely to hear you enjoyed it, along with the equipment and the team on the night.
Laura will be made up with this. She really does put everything into her events, so hearing that she came across as knowledgeable, enthusiastic and good fun means a lot.
Thanks again for coming along and for taking the time to leave such a kind review.
Rude and unprofessional
So this is the reasons
Between rude hosts, underage participants, people drinking even once they were asked to stop by the hosts even after reaching out to the owner, then being ignored aswell

Thank you for your feedback, Mark
I was genuinely sorry to read that this was your impression of the event, as we always want our guests to leave having had a positive experience with us.
Some of the concerns raised relate to occasions where members of the team asked for disturbance during the live investigation to be kept to a minimum so as not to affect the experience of other guests. We are sorry if those interventions felt uncomfortable, but they were made in the interests of the wider group and the integrity of the investigation.
In relation to alcohol, at our Skirrid Inn event guests may request one alcoholic drink with their included meal before the investigation begins. Although not advertised as we do like to limit this, guests who request alcohol with their meal are not refused, instead informed that only one drink is permitted inline with health and safety. Any guest choosing to have a drink is indeed limited it to just one as was in this case. This is a long-standing and risk-assessed part of that particular event format. Alcohol is not permitted once the live investigation is underway, and any guest showing signs of intoxication would not be allowed to continue.
Concerns raised in relation to other attendees were also reviewed following the event. However, we are not able to discuss individual bookings or guest details in a public forum.
We would also like to clarify that this matter was not ignored. While there was an unfortunate delay in replying to one follow-up email, that response was sent as soon as we were able. Our customer care team had already been in direct contact with the guest before this review was posted, and continued that dialogue afterwards, including issuing a private response and proposed resolution which has been accepted.
The concerns raised were reviewed following the event, with accounts considered from the hosting team and other guests who were present. Whilst we cannot discuss complaint details fully in a public forum, we do take feedback seriously, review it carefully, and work directly with guests where concerns are raised.
Thank you once again for your candid feedback

Great night at Falstaff...
We recently attended a night at Falstaff in Stratford. We were welcomed by hosts Sian and Tracey, who made us feel at ease from the start. We hadn't done anything like this before but entered with an open mind. The night was relaxed and informal which helped with the flow of it. Although there was no major bumps or bangs, there was definitely moments that made you sit up and take note, even for the sceptics. Would definitely recommend trying it and would book onto another for certain. Looking forward to it.
Many thanks for a great night.

Hi WL,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re really pleased to hear that you had a great night with us at Falstaff’s Experience (Tudor World) in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Sian and Tracey will be delighted to hear your kind words. Our hosts always aim to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, particularly for guests who are experiencing their first ghost hunt, so it’s great to hear they helped you feel comfortable and enjoy the evening from the start.
You’re absolutely right that paranormal investigations don’t always come with dramatic bangs or obvious activity. Often it’s the quieter, unexplained moments that make people pause and take notice — especially for those who arrive with a healthy dose of scepticism.
We’re really glad you enjoyed the experience and that you’d recommend giving it a try. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back on another investigation in the future.
Thank you again for joining us and for sharing your experience.

30 East Drive - House of Horrors
I was welcomed by Paul and Lysa from Haunted Houses who could see I was aprehensive (I have done Haunted Houses events before but not this place), What a pair they are a proper credit to your company. The group I was with I didnt know any of them but found we bonded really easily probably down to the hosts being great. The night started with activity from minute 1, things happening on the landing which I cannot for the life in me explain. Later in the night Lysa tried an experiment with us each which took me out of my comfort zone but I felt because I did it I achieved what I thought would be a fear I had for life.
After all the fun I decided to stay over and sleep there. Im not going to spoil anything but I was thinking that the activity was done for the night... how wrong I was and im still playing it all back now.
I wont lie it was the best night of my life (bucket list) but also the worst (way more activity than I expectes)... im.deffo coming back to seek more answers.
I have gone on about the hosts and the people. But having done a lot with your company I can say you guys are the best and I have a few more events booked up.
Please pass on my best to Paul and Lysa would love to bump into them again on an investigation.. credit to Haunted Houses.

Hi Martin,
Thank you for such an incredible review. We’re really pleased to hear that your night at 30 East Drive – The Black Monk House was such a memorable experience.
Paul and Lysa will be absolutely thrilled to read your comments. They’re both fantastic hosts and take real pride in making guests feel comfortable, especially when investigating somewhere as intense and well-known as 30 East Drive. Creating that relaxed atmosphere where complete strangers can quickly feel like a team is exactly what a good investigation night should feel like, so it’s great to hear that came across.
30 East Drive has a reputation for a reason, and it certainly sounds like the house didn’t disappoint on your visit. The landing area in particular has produced some very interesting moments over the years, and experiences like the ones you described are exactly why so many people return to the house again and again looking for answers.
It’s also great to hear that you pushed yourself outside your comfort zone during one of the experiments. Those moments can sometimes be the most powerful part of the night, and it sounds like it made the experience even more meaningful for you.
Staying overnight at the house often adds a whole new layer to the experience as well, and it seems the house still had a few surprises left for you after the main investigation had finished.
Thank you as well for your continued support of Haunted Houses and for booking more events with us. We really appreciate it, and we’ll certainly pass your kind words on to Paul and Lysa.
We look forward to welcoming you back on another investigation soon.

Old Nick Theatre
Absolutely fantastic night with our brilliant hoast and my new bro Chris. It started off quiet, but once the activity started it was none stop to the point where I was a picture frame move, my mum was touched, my friend was slightly pushed and my husband had something blow in his face. Would recommend to others 100% as you never know what you're going to be in contact with. Chris, was spot on, not only did he ensure everything went smoothly and safely, but he made it fun and everyone had such a laugh. Can't wait for the next time we join you and I get to investigate with my bro again 😁

Hi Chantell,
Thank you for your fantastic review. We’re really pleased to hear you had such a memorable night with us at Old Nick Theatre.
It sounds like the evening certainly picked up once the activity began, and experiences like the ones you’ve described are exactly the kind of moments that make an investigation so exciting. The Old Nick Theatre has produced some very interesting activity over the years, so it’s always great to hear when guests witness things they simply can’t explain.
Chris will be really pleased to read your kind words as well. Our hosts always aim to make sure the night runs smoothly, safely and, just as importantly, that everyone has a great time along the way. It’s lovely to hear that the group had such a laugh together while still experiencing some intriguing moments during the investigation.
Thank you as well for recommending the experience to others. You’re absolutely right — on a ghost hunt you never quite know what the night might bring.
We look forward to welcoming you back on another investigation soon… and hopefully another night with your “bro” Chris!

Hi Erica,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re really pleased to hear that you and your daughter had such a brilliant first ghost hunting experience with us at Wymering Manor.
Wymering is a fascinating location with a long history of reported activity, so it’s always exciting to hear when guests experience things they can’t easily explain. It sounds like your group had a very interesting night.
We’re also glad to hear that the team helped make the evening special for you. Our hosts work hard to create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone, especially for those attending their very first ghost hunt.
It’s great that you’re already planning to come back again, and hopefully next time you’ll be bringing even more people along to share the experience with you.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for your review and for your continued support of Haunted Houses. It’s always great to see familiar names coming back to investigate with us again.
We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and that the team looked after you on the night. Our hosts always aim to make sure everything runs smoothly while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable for everyone taking part.
It’s also great to hear you enjoy the sleepover events. We agree they add something special to the experience, giving guests the chance to remain in the venue once the main investigation has finished and really soak up the atmosphere of the building overnight. We’re always looking for more venues where this can be offered, so hopefully you’ll see a few more of those appearing in the future.
Thanks again for joining us (again!) and for taking the time to leave a review. We look forward to seeing you on another investigation soon.

Wow!
Wow! Myself and my husband had an amazing night at Wymering Manor last night. It is definitely a place to be explored, so much activity, I started off as extremely sceptical, but now I’m definitely more of a believer! The whole team were incredibly knowledgeable and full of energy all night. I would like to say a special thankyou to Claire and Adam, you were both great hosts, you were fully invested in what we were hearing and were debunking things that some may have thought were paranormal. Extremely professional, we are definitely going to be back! Thankyou so much!

Hi Stacey,
Thank you for such a fantastic review. We’re really pleased to hear that you and your husband had such an amazing night with us at Wymering Manor.
It’s always great to hear from guests who arrive feeling sceptical and leave with a few more questions than answers. Wymering has a long reputation for producing some very interesting activity, so it sounds like the building certainly gave you plenty to think about during the night.
Claire and Adam will be delighted to read your kind words. Our hosts always aim to keep investigations both engaging and responsible, which means exploring possible explanations and debunking things where necessary. That balance is really important to us, so it’s great to hear that approach stood out to you.

30 East Drive what a experience
Had an amazing time at 30 East Drive with our fabulous host Laura! She kept it fun and safe and her mixture of excitement and sheer terror at the REM Pod constantly going off and answering to our questions made the experience even more. We were told this is not Disneyland and that the spirits don’t perform on demand but we were not disappointed. We had temp drops, bangs, knocks, table tipping, glass spinning, doors opening, catballs going off, uneasy feelings and red hot heating even though we turned it off and all the radiators. My friend even walked away with a mini scratch on her face. Would highly recommend but you need to bring the energy. Thanks Haunted Houses we will be back

Hi Roseanne,
Thank you for such a brilliant review. We’re really pleased to hear that you had such an amazing night with us at 30 East Drive – The Black Monk House.
Laura will be delighted to hear your kind words. She’s a fantastic host who always brings great energy to the night while making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable and fully involved in the investigations.
30 East Drive certainly has a reputation for producing a wide range of unexplained activity, and it sounds like the house kept everyone on their toes during your visit. As we always say during the briefing, spirits don’t perform on demand — but when a location does become active, it can make for a truly unforgettable night.
It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that you’d recommend it to others. Bringing the right energy and an open mind really does make a difference on an investigation.
Thank you again for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back on another ghost hunt soon.
