Paranormal Investigation

What lurks in the corners of Hempstead House Hotel? Are you brave enough to find out?

£80 per person

includes buffet dinner, paranormal investigation and refreshments

Ever wondered what happens when the doors close, the lights turn off and midnight strikes at Hempstead House Hotel? Why not come and find out for yourself!

 

This Halloween, Friday 31st October, for the first time ever, we are opening our doors and invite you to join our Paranormal Investigation to discover if there are any secrets lurking in the corners of Hempstead House.

Will you see something in the corner of your eye? Will an area turn cold with no explanation?

 

Dating back to 1850, the original house was built and resided by Robert Lake and his family. It was as a result of a close association between the current owners and an original descendant of the Lake family that our Lakes Restaurant derived its name.

The memory of the Lake family lives on with original portraits still adorning the walls, creating a genuine feeling of history.

But are they still here???

 

Gillian Page and her team will take you on a tour of the hotel where little is known about who or what haunts Hempstead House and it is up to you to discover the ghosts and spirits that possibly reside here.

Gillian is local to Kent and has been a Spiritual Medium and Tarot Reader for over 30 years. She became interested in the Paranormal over 15 years ago and now runs paranormal events, allowing the general public to experience a real paranormal investigation.

She is very well known for doing platform demonstrations along with one to one readings and also teaches mediumship.

“No one has to take part in any of the experiments in which they feel uncomfortable. We don't force anyone. It's your night to experience and be a paranormal investigator.”

 

So what's included?

  • Welcome relaxed buffet dinner from 7.00pm (menu below)
  • Group Introduction including group protection from 8.40pm
  • 3 x controlled Ghost Hunting Vigils and Séances in different locations around the hotel, in small groups of up to 8, with an experienced medium and crew member per group
  • Use of ghost hunting equipment that will be explained at the start of each session.
  • Participation in experiments including glass moving, table tipping, scrying and Ouija Boards (at each groups discretion).
  • Tea and coffee break with biscuits
  • Group Closing including group cleansing
  • 12.30am Snack before departure

£80 per person

We can't guarantee spiritual or ghostly activity but we can guarantee that everything you experience will be 100% real.
