The adults-only tour will kick off on Halloween for obvious reasons (Wednesday, October 31) and will explore the four prominent types of paranormal activity: poltergeists, shadow figures, intelligent hauntings and residual hauntings.

You’ll get exclusive access to buildings not open to the public and even be kitted out with paranormal detection equipment – we’re not making this stuff up, we promise. Plus, your guide will be on hand to tell chilling (and very real) stories of murders, failed prison escapes and death-inducing accidents.
