The Great Victorian Ghost Hunt at Samlesbury Hall

Participants take part in a Victorian-style psychical investigation, exploring areas normally closed to the public including the cellar and attic. Investigators rely on their senses and specially commissioned Victorian instruments such as a Tuttle Psychograph, Winchester Séance Bell, and talking boards to detect supernatural activity. Hot soup, a roll, tea, coffee, and a completion certificate are provided.
