Your Event
Built in the Victorian period, The Old Nick Theatre was once a very busy Police Station and Court House, hence it’s name. In fact it is the courtroom itself that has been transformed into an eerie and haunting theatre.
This building has so many dark and sinister rooms and corridors to investigate that it is a must for any avid ghost hunter. Working in the old police cells you may encounter some of the chilling activity that takes place here. Our investigation includes the Rehearsal Rooms, Dressing Rooms and the Theatre itself where many ghostly apparitions and terrifying activity has been witnessed. However, things become more sinister the deeper we venture and for those of you who are brave enough, you can spend some time alone in the haunted cells. Make yourselves comfortable as you endure what can only be described as some spine-tingling activity emanating from corridors into the cells. Knocking, whistling, tapping and voices have all been heard here on many occasions.
The building is immense and has a wealth of areas for us to investigate as we attempt to elicit some paranormal activity from some of the less welcoming resident spirits.
The Old Nick is a very haunted building and we feel convinced that this location will really live up to its chilling location as one of Gainsborough’s Most Haunted Buildings.
Join Haunted Happenings overnight as we have exclusive access to all the haunted areas.
You can work alongside our famous team as we carry out our vigils and experiments. Whether you are an experienced ghost hunter or this is your first time you can be assured that you will be very well looked.
You can take part in table tipping, glass moving and Ouija Board (optional) communication as well as planchette work and carry out your own mini-investigation (for those of you brave enough to do so). You will also be given a workshop demonstrating the use of dowsing rods/crystals and electrical equipment. These are also available to purchase on the night.
The event includes all refreshments and snacks. Please bring anything more substantial to eat should you wish to do so. We welcome all filming equipment on our events and any other ghost hunting equipment that you may wish to use.
Testimonial
I just wanted to thank-you for an amazing night at Blair Street Vaults.. of all the events ive been on, this was by far the best and my first with Haunted Happenings. Ive been a developing medium for three years now and I have never before experienced such activity.
When you conducted the glass movng experiment with the group, ive never seen/felt the glass move with such force and accompanied with the dark spectre who was clear to see in the room on more than one occasion and on-command, the moans and groans clear to hear and the stool being moved next to me by an unseen hand was just the beginning of the nights event.
Down in the vaults we made a circle of hands and you talked the group through building up the energy and I was amazed to experience the vortex and see with my own eyes, stones which we had thrown 10-15ft into the vaults and asked to be returned, clearly being thrown back at us. When the group saw (what we thought to be) torch lights but resembled a swinging tavern lamp at the far end of the vault, when I went to investigate, shouting out for whom was there, i was astonished to realised there wasnt a single soul in sight and where the lights had emanated from was a wall....
By far the biggest experience for me was when you conducted the table tipping I could clearly see everyone's finger tips lightly on the table yet this heavy based table was literally dancing on each of its legs and jumping away from us every so often...incredibly impressive and i thought you did an amazing job of keeping the whole thing together, people who were initally frigthened, you reassured and the group bonded very quickly due to the good nature and professionalism conducted. There was a real lets-go-find-some-ghosts attitude with no frills or even the slightest hint of performance and i believe that due to the efforts of yourself and of the group being collectively involved, we were all well rewarded with an paranormal evening i shall never forget.
It was a real pleasure to meet you and the team Hazel and Elle I must say was a real kind hearted, geniune and very modest medium who worked extremely hard for us all to help bring the evening together nicely. I really cannot wait for the next HH event, please keep up the good work !!...
