You’ll get hands-on access to a range of ghost hunting equipment, including EMF readers, table tipping and spirit boards, all designed to help detect and communicate with the unseen. Each vigil begins with a clear introduction to the tools, so you’ll know how to use them confidently and safely. Choose the equipment you’re most curious about or dive into all of it, either way, you’ll be involved from the very beginning.

4. Experienced, Friendly Staff and No Gimmicks!

Our team is there to guide you, answer questions, calm nerves and help you make the most of the night. What we don’t do is stage results or influence the vigil. If an area feels quiet, we’ll simply move you on to another hotspot, so you get the best possible experience.
