Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I get scared during the event?
Every event has a safe area which is always lit. If you do become afraid and want to take time out you will be taken to the safe area until you are ready to resume the ghost hunt.
Do I need to bring a torch?
Yes, you will need to bring your own torch. However, we prefer that head torches are not worn as they can blind other guests and cause accidents during the event.
What should I wear to the event?
We suggest that you wear warm layered clothing as some locations can be extremely cold whilst others are heated and can be quite warm. Flat, gripped shoes are mandatory as many of our locations are old buildings and have uneven surfaces. Also, some areas are outside where it can be wet and slippery.
Can I leave early if I want to?
If you wish to leave early you must let a team member know. You will be asked to leave during a convenient time such as in between group activities or during a break. This is so that the event is not disrupted by your leaving as car parks may need to be unlocked etc. You must let a team member know if you are leaving so that you can be removed from our fire register.
Can I bring my own ghost hunting equipment?
You are very welcome to bring your own equipment, however, it is your responsibility to look after this on the event and you may be asked to switch off any equipment if it interferes with the vigil at any time.
