Black And White House Museum - Hereford, Herefordshire
A haunted Jacobean Museum in Hereford, rarely investigated but full of ghostly activity

Sorry, we do not have any events for this location at the moment. Please keep an eye on our website for future dates. 

Go back in time as you spend the night ghost hunting inside this creepy Jacobean building.  With nearly four centuries of history the Black and White House (also known as The Old House) in Hereford has many hauntings and ghostly tales attached to it. 
 
Now a museum, it forms part of the main heritage of Hereford Town where past existences from the 17th Century are clearly and vividly brought to life. 
 
Rarely investigated, we are really excited to spend the night here where we can hopefully begin to unravel the mystery of the ghosts and spirits that still exist.  The Black and White House Museum has many stories to tell when it comes to paranormal activity and the building itself resembles a typically haunted location.  With its timber frame, the creaks and groans of the building in the dead of night are terrifying enough, not to mention the whispered voices and chilling atmosphere.  This is a truly unique ghost hunt and to be perfectly honest we do not know what to expect. 
 

The hauntings of The Black and White Museum are numerous.  Visitors report feeling extremely vulnerable when walking around here even in the daytime. Those that work here have felt sinister murmurs and whispering voices along with hearing unnatural footsteps when nobody is around.  Cold spots and doors opening and closing are a common occurrence here.  When you realise that this is happening mainly during the day, imagine how it will feel in the dead of night. 

The Black and White House Museum is a 17th Century timber-framed building which began its life as a Butcher’s Shop and residential dwelling.  During the English Civil War it was one of the only buildings left in the town, narrowly avoiding destruction.  It then continued its journey as many other uses including a fish and hardware shop before it was altered considerably to serve as a bank.  It was carefully and authentically restored in 1927 when taken over by the City as a Museum to give modern visitors the opportunity to tangibly understand what life was like in the 17th Century as an inhabitant of Hereford Town.

It is a fascinating museum giving a true insight into daily life in Jacobean times. It is furnished in period style with an internationally important collection of English oak furniture and there are interesting pieces in every room. Of particular interest to many visitors are the rare wall-paintings, the four-poster bed and the baby-walkers.
