I had an amazing time at 30 east drive. On the 10th December 2025, lots of activity going on. My music box was going off a lot. On the stairs. Had the small bedroom door open. With un seen force. Our host on the night Chris , was very welcoming. And amazing too, boy Chris can snore, like a man possessed. Sorry Chris 😄 can't wait to go back, sometime in the new year.

Hi Brian, thank you for the brilliant review — it’s great to hear you had such an amazing night at 30 East Drive on 10th December.
That’s some proper activity as well — a music box going off on the stairs and the small bedroom door opening with no one there is exactly the kind of moment that sticks with you. Chris will be chuffed to hear you found him so welcoming… and I’ll make sure he sees the snoring comment too — he’ll never live that down 😄
Can’t wait to have you back in the new year.

Brilliant night had as always
Had an amazing night as always with the guys from Haunted Houses, they are so friendly and professional at the same time, they make everyone feel really comfortable wether a first time guest or returning guest, they explain how the evening is going to work at the start so you know just what to expect and they go through all the equipment so you fully understand how it all works, I always have the best time and thoroughly enjoy participating in paranormal investigations with all the Haunted Houses team, can't wait for our next adventure with you guys 👻

Hi Sue, thank you for such a lovely review — it means a lot coming from someone who’s been out with us "more than once." - Must be at least 20+ investigations now, eh?
I’m really glad you consistently feel that mix of friendly and professional, and that we’re making both first-timers and returning guests feel comfortable. Clear briefings and proper equipment walk-throughs are a big part of helping everyone relax and get stuck in, so it’s brilliant to hear that stood out for you.
Can’t wait to see you on the next adventure 👻

Hi Kymmi and JP, thank you for such a gorgeous review — and happy birthday (again!) 🎂✨
I love that you’ve made this a birthday tradition with us, and that the first one is still “continuing to give” — that’s exactly the kind of magic we want these nights to leave behind. Rachel and Ben will be absolutely chuffed to read this, and I’ll make sure Chris sees the shout-out as well.
The hosts really lovely meeting you both too — The Occult Family 🖤 — and thank you for the recommendation.

Had a fantastic evening
Had a fantastic evening! Really well run and informative. Had a great tour plus time for us to explore on our own. Originally thought 6 hours would be too much but ended up being a perfect amount of time. Nice and warm down there too. Would do it again.

Hi Jonathan, thank you for the lovely review — I’m really glad you had such a fantastic evening.
Brilliant to hear you found it well run and informative, and that the balance of the tour plus your own free time to explore worked well. I also smiled at the “6 hours sounds too much” bit — it’s amazing how quickly it flies when you’re immersed in it (and having a warm venue definitely helps!).
Really pleased you’d do it again.

Incredible Experience ✨️
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I bought my best friends the Falstaff experience for their birthday's & honestly, it surpassed all expectations! Starting with what we paid to do - the sheer respect and knowledge the hosts had were fantastic, everything was taken very seriously, with the balance of a great time thrown in. We experienced a fair few "happenings" which is exactly what we wanted.
The whole evening was just MADE by Chris & the amazing people we met. Chris is honestly the loveliest guy, with so many interesting stories & experiences. His passion, respect & knowledge pours out of him & felt safe with him at all times.
Chris, if you want a Warwickshire bestie, hit me up ✨️🌈
Absolutely fantastic evening. We cannot wait to book another and we have certainly caught the bug! Highly, highly recommend 🩷✨️

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review of your night at Kelvedon Hatch. We’re really glad to hear that, even with the delay on the way, you felt welcomed and looked after by the team on your arrival.
It’s great to know you enjoyed the vigils and that the hosts’ knowledge of the bunker and the equipment helped you get properly stuck into the experience. That’s exactly the kind of night we hope to give everyone.
We’ll definitely let our host Jess know she was missed… she’ll be chuffed you were thinking of her!
If you fancy another dose of ghosts and gadgets, we’d love to welcome you back at Kelvedon Hatch again or at one of our other underground sites such as Fort Widley, prisons or historic halls around the UK.
Hope to see you on another ghost hunt soon!

More teaspoons, I must have my coffee!
More teaspoons, coffee cup lids, structured breaks were paying guests, one or two breaks went into 35-40 mins, responsible use of cat balls they were place on wooded surfaces despite going off were debunked, pay your staff - at least 21 covers you had at £55 that's £1155, I'm sure you can give them £50 each, we felt like we were forced to partake in some of the rooms but later found out that the two girls we had been speaking to had pretty much been off doing their own thing most of the night which we would have loved to have done. We were also left feeling like two of our party were instigators in certain aspects of the night.
If your apprehensive about going, don't be, go and enjoy it and come away with what experiences you have had, even my partner who was worried this time is now up for trying anything next time, even the cellar on her own. It was a great entertaining night, and stuff did happen which was weird not spooky. I wish there was space for my full honest review, but its too many characters to fit on here. Laura actually was amazing, friendly and chatty despite the Diamond dh comment, made us feel at ease, and has inspired us to actually do more investigating and we will return at some point to investigate more, and may even play some more parlor games.

Hi Nottingham Twinned Paranormal,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a detailed 4★ review and for joining us on our ghost hunt – it’s great to hear you had an entertaining night, that some odd things happened, and that your partner has now got the bug and is even ready to brave an environment like the cellar next time.
I’m really pleased to read your comments about Laura. She’ll be delighted to know that her friendly, chatty approach helped you feel at ease and has inspired you to do more investigating in the future.
I also appreciate your practical feedback. We did have plenty of wooden stirrers available on the night, though we completely understand that some guests prefer a traditional teaspoon. We don’t provide cup lids, as hot drinks must remain in the break area only – carrying lidded cups into vigil rooms isn’t permitted under the venue hire agreement, so we avoid creating the impression that drinks can be taken into the investigation spaces.
Your comments about break lengths are helpful too. We do have structured breaks built into the night, but it sounds as though one or two may have overrun on this occasion. We’ll remind the evening’s Event Manager to tighten these up and keep them closer to the pre-planned structure as expected, so that as much of the night as possible remains focused on investigating.
Your point about the cat balls is noted as well. We do aim to use equipment in a responsible and evidential way, and I’ll pass this on to the team member as a reminder to choose stable surfaces carefully, explain why, and actively debunk anything that can be explained by the environment.
I’m also sorry to hear you felt under pressure at times to take part in certain rooms, especially when you later realised others had spent some of the night doing their own thing. We do make it clear in the event information sent out beforehand, and again in our welcome briefing, that nobody is ever required to join in with every experiment. That said, we’ll remind the team to reinforce this more obviously on the night so guests feel completely comfortable choosing between the structured vigils and quieter, independent investigating during appropriate parts of the event, although our focus as a public event facilitator is group exercises.
Finally, please rest assured that we do look after our team. A great many of our hosts have been with us for over ten years, which we feel speaks for itself. We don’t discuss individual arrangements publicly, but our team are valued, supported and rewarded for the time and energy they put into every event.
Thank you again for your review and for recommending us to anyone who may be apprehensive about coming along. We hope to welcome you both back in the near future.

Exceeded expectations
As a huge skeptic who bought this as a birthday present for my believer girlfriend I was expecting it to be more like an episode of Most Haunted.
I can safely say that it was anything but the staff were brilliant especially Adam who made us all feel at ease and explained what would happen throughout the evening very clearly and was encouraging of everyone to get involved.
We were taken to 3 parts of the manor to experience the activity and we actually did! The varied equipment and methods used throughout keep the experience fun and engaging and I must say I’m a lot less of a skeptic since our experience.

Hi Josh,
Thank you so much for the brilliant 5★ review! It’s fantastic to hear that the night exceeded your expectations — especially as you arrived as the sceptic in the duo. We love it when guests come with an open mind and leave feeling that little bit less certain about what they thought they knew.
Adam will be genuinely delighted to read your comments. He’s excellent at settling guests in, explaining things clearly, and making sure everyone feels equally comfortable taking part, so it’s lovely to see that come across in your experience.
It’s great to hear you enjoyed exploring the different parts of the manor and that you had some activity of your own. The variety of methods and equipment is something we put a lot of thought into, so we’re pleased it kept the evening fun, engaging and at times… a little thought-provoking!
If you ever fancy pushing your sceptic side even further, we’ve got plenty more locations that offer completely different atmospheres and experiences.
Hope to see you both again soon!

Fantastic Ghost Hunting Experience at Rycroft Hall!
We attended the ghost hunt at Rycroft Hall on 15th November with my daughter and her friend, and it was absolutely fantastic. Laura was our guide and she was incredibly enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable — she really made the whole evening special for us.
The activities were exciting from start to finish, and we enjoyed them so much that we’ve already booked our next event for Friday 13th February at Smithills! We can definitely see ourselves becoming regulars, and we’d love to have Laura as our guide again.
Thank you for an unforgettable night!

Ryecroft Hall
Attended Ryecroft Hall on the evening of 15th Nov with my son. Had a brilliant time, was split in to small groups so loads of opportunity to use all the equipment and fully take part in the vigils. Beth was the leader of our group and she was excellent, really knowledgeable, friendly, fun and welcoming, we had loads of fun and laughter as a group as well as immersing ourselves in the whole experience of the event.

It’s fantastic to hear that you and your son had a brilliant time, especially with the smaller groups giving you plenty of chances to get hands-on with the equipment and really throw yourselves into the vigils. We’re absolutely thrilled to hear your kind words about Beth – she’ll be over the moon to know you found her knowledgeable, friendly, fun and welcoming, and that the mix of laughter and proper immersive investigation really worked for your group.
We always aim to create nights that feel both professionally run and relaxed enough for guests to really enjoy themselves, so it’s great to know that came across.
Hope we get to see you and your son on another Haunted Houses event soon!
