Amazing company
We just spend at evening at Shrewsbury prison and it was the most amazing night filled with loads of activity. Our host Laura was amazing, she kept the night going and had loads of good ideas and she was really friendly and helpful for everyone.

An amazing night at Fort Widley
I had an amazing night at Fort Widley, the hosts that handled the night were so lovely and welcoming; this was my first ghost hunt and I was alone so I was extremely anxious to the point I almost skipped and the hosts made me feel at ease straight away I wish I remembered their names. You can tell the hosts are very passionate about what they do and have a lot of experience with ghost hunting 😁
Didn’t experience a lot of activity but all the encounters my group had were genuine and nothing was faked and it was so fun hearing the other groups encounters at the end of the night.
My only suggestion is with the human pendulum method is maybe blindfold and cover the persons ears so it makes the method more real since sometimes people can fake leaning backwards and forwards to answer the questions 🤔 (I don’t think this happened on my night but just an idea incase some hardcore skeptics go on future hunts)

Ashwell prison
I've always been sat on the fence regarding the afterlife and last night was my first experience at Ashwell prison. I can now say I'm no longer sat on the fence, the activity was brilliant and unexplainable. Our tour guide Laura was amazing and made our group feel easy. Will I go again, you bet I will. 100% booking again soon. Thank you haunted houses for an amazing experience

A great night !
Laura was our guide at Ashwell prison last night. I am not always sure what to expect on a ghost hunt. A fairly small group with some good energy. Lots of activity from the equipment and time for free exploring at the end. We even have some interesting videos and was able to use the debunking methods they suggested ! We will be booking again !

We attended Newsham Park Hospital last night, there was 10 in our group plus our lovely guide and her friend. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. She was so welcoming and put us all right at ease. Once we were shown all the equipment she encouraged us to fully participate and use all the equipment for ourselves. We went up to the top floor where the naughty boys corridor is and heard voices and noises on the devices. We went all over and had such a spooky and funny night, loved every second (maybe apart from being shut in the naughty boys cupboard in the dark 🤣). We will definitely be booking on another one. Thanks to our guide for putting up with us especially my naughty dad 🤣. 10 out of 10.

Hi Gayle,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a brilliant review! We’re delighted to hear you had a great night at Newsham Park Hospital and that you felt so welcomed and involved throughout.
Group One’s host was Laura — we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words and make a proper fuss of her for a job well done! It sounds like your group embraced the experience fully (even the cupboard moment! 😅), and we’re so pleased you enjoyed both the spooky and the light-hearted parts of the evening. Congratulations on beating all other three groups with the activity quest that was set, too. Great job!
We really appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you again on another investigation soon.
All the best,

Excellent hosts and great evidence!
Me and my sister attended Shrewsbury prison on Saturday, our 3rd time with the company. We did try another company some years ago and we instantly returned to you as it’s SO much better with you guys! We have met more than 7 members of the team members/hosts both at Shrewsbury prison and other venues. I cannot say a bad word about any of them, they are all so lovely, supportive and encouraging. All of you guys are so friendly and welcoming! The venues themselves are equally as amazing, with lots of evidence found. Me and my sister have throughly enjoyed every venue we have been and we thank the company for allowing us the opportunity!

Shrewsbury Prison 14th June 2025
I have very recently done a ghost hunt at Shrewsbury Prison, and it did not disappoint at all, not only in terms of activity (the evidence of an orb and aswell as the K2 going to red at the same time caught by my friend and me, has blown my mind!) but also the team. The team members are all so kind and caring towards everyone. They make you feel comfortable in every situation and explain methods and techniques very well when needed. The event as a whole was very well planned and ran very smoothly, and I absolutely love that they encourage free time, where you get to use the equipment and investigate without the team if you want to. Even if you want to go with a team member, they are more than happy to do so. I will 100% be coming back, not just to Shrewsbury Prison but anywhere with this team.

It’s brilliant to hear that your night at Shrewsbury Prison didn’t disappoint — especially with the orb and K2 activity happening together like that! Moments like those are exactly what we love to hear about, and it’s even better that you felt supported by the team throughout.
We’re really glad you enjoyed the free time element too — it’s important to us that guests can investigate in the way that suits them best, whether that’s on their own or with a team member nearby. We’ll make sure your kind words are passed on to the crew from that night — they’ll be chuffed to know they made such a great impression.
Can’t wait to welcome you back again soon, wherever the next adventure takes you!

Norton Priory
Went to Norton Priory. Had a very enjoyable evening with the team. The guides for our group were Polly and James. They were very helpful and very keen for everyone to be involved and enjoy the experience.
Ended the night with my girlfriend and James asking questions to a swinging crystal. I sit on the fence when it comes to believing, but the crystal kept changing direction when we asked questions

We’re really glad you enjoyed your evening at Norton Priory. Polly and James will be chuffed to hear they helped make it a good night for you both — they’re always keen to get everyone involved and make sure each guest feels part of the experience.
And that crystal moment at the end... definitely one to make you think! We love when sceptics find themselves a little bit curious by the end of the night — that’s half the fun.
Hope to see you both again at another haunted location soon!

We went to 30 east drive great experience from the spirits not so by the staff they didn’t feel like they wanted to be there it put a dampen on the experience. When asked for equipment and to explore they said everyone is doing it few minutes after asking someone else asked and got give equipment got let to explore on his own very blunt to my partner aswell . When talking to spirit the staff member came interrupted and put a blocker on the spirit soon she left they come back I asked the spirit if she put a blocker on the energy they answered ye so fast wasn’t very nice to be honest nobody else got interrupted. It’s been my worse experience so far and I’ve been to three places. Stuff wasn’t very bothered about hearing your experience and no information was given about the house or what happened when asked you would have thought they would know as the last two I’ve been on by the end liked to tell you about the place and hear about your experience tell you about others that matched yours. Staff. Very very blunt staff.

Hi, I’m Chris – Event Operations Manager here at Haunted Houses Events.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I'm sorry to hear your experience at 30 East Drive didn’t quite match what you'd hoped for, especially if your past ghost hunts with other companies felt more engaging or informative.
While 30 East Drive is a location steeped in reputation and activity, it is also extremely compact. For that reason, we generally structure our vigils in small group formats rather than solo exploration, to ensure both safety and atmosphere are maintained. That said, our team should always remain approachable and supportive, and I’m disappointed to hear that this didn’t come across as it should have on the night. Your feedback has been noted and will be reviewed internally.
You also mentioned a “blocker” being placed on the energy — this isn’t something we’ve come across as part of any standard practice, so I’d be really interested to understand more about what happened there if you’re happy to share.
If you’d like to continue the conversation, feel free to drop me an email directly at bookings@haunted-houses.co.uk — I’d genuinely welcome the chance to talk further.
Thanks again for your feedback, and I do hope we can offer you a more enjoyable experience in the future.
Warm regards,

We visited 30 East drive last night 05/06/2025.. Chris and Nick our hosts were fantastic so friendly and very knowledgeable!! .. we were very lucky to have had a small group. We highly recommend this company.. lots of activity was experienced and still can't explain it .. the stair area and upstairs were very active and lots of emotions felt. We will be booking with this company again. Everything is layed out when you arrive and I was impressed how they consider everyone needs ..
Thank you Haunted houses a experience we will never forget.!!

A Hauntingly Unique Experience with Haunted Houses At The Skirrid Inn
If you're seeking a ghostly adventure unlike any other, Haunted Houses delivers an experience where the spirits themselves are your storytellers. With no historical information provided upfront, the night becomes a journey of discovery as you piece together the puzzle of the past through paranormal interactions.
One of the highlights of my evening was spending an hour in the bath, where spirits interacted with guests in a different room through the equipment I was using. At the time, the random words I heard seemed disconnected, but as the night unfolded, their meaning became clear and eerily tied to the events taking place.
Upstairs was especially active for us, with the atmosphere electric with activity. However, when we moved downstairs, the energy noticeably faded. What I appreciated most was the honesty of our hosts—they explained how this ebb and flow is normal. As the night wore on and our energy waned (it was 2 a.m. by then!), it was fascinating to learn that this can impact the session. They also reminded us that spirits aren’t here to perform on command; their interactions depend entirely on their willingness to engage.
Haunted Houses offers a refreshing approach to the paranormal. With no preconceived narratives, the night becomes a deeply personal and immersive experience, allowing the spirits to guide you through their world. It’s an unforgettable journey into the unknown—one that will leave you questioning everything. Highly recommended for true paranormal enthusiasts

Hi there,
Thank you so much for this incredible review — it honestly gave me goosebumps reading it back! You’ve captured the spirit (pardon the pun!) of how we approach our events so well — letting the night unfold naturally, without leading or influencing, and allowing the location and whatever lingers there to guide the story.
Your bath vigil moment was especially fascinating to read — it’s amazing how things can seem disconnected at first, only for it all to click into place later in the night. That kind of unfolding mystery is exactly what we hope our guests experience.
We also really appreciate you mentioning the ebb and flow of activity. It's something we’re always open about — the energy in the room, the time of night, even the emotions of the group — it can all make a difference, and it’s lovely to hear that the honesty of our hosts added to your trust in the process.
Thank you again for taking the time to write such a detailed and insightful review. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back again for another journey into the unknown — you clearly belong on this side of the torchlight!
All the best,

Rude team member
Ide like to make a huge complaint towards one of your team members (pink hair) I joined your company for the 2nd time at a different location to the first. This women was extremely ignorant and rude towards me personally and I dont know why? I was on her team, I was asking her questions during break, just to get to know her as it was just us two outside but my answers I got from her was very blunt and rude. So I struged it off and asked her another question and she answered me in the same manor she just didnt want to talk too me and as she uses a walking stick I kindly asked her if she needed help standing up then she sharply said no! I don't want help! I said okay thats fine no problem and I went back in. Myself and 2 other guest was doing glass tipping in the dungeon and because im tall I said to her "can someone swap,.my back hurts" she rolled her eyes and ignored me. So I asked again and instead of making eye contact with me, she looked at the other guests to see who can take my place. No one wanted to so I just pulled away. I used to be apart of a ghost hunting team and we would never!!! Treat our paying customers like the way she treated me, I did not do nothing wrong, every time I saw her sitting down I would ask if she needed help getting up and she said sharply no im fine!. I took this all very personal as she didn't treat anyone of the other guests like that... she was extremely rude and ignorant and because of her (pink hair) don't remember her name.. I will not be joining your company again. She ruined my night!! And it was also my birthday.. unbelievable behaviour coming from a so called professional ghost hunting company.

Hi Dana,
Thank you for sharing your feedback — I’m truly sorry to hear that you left the event feeling this way, especially on what should have been a special evening for you.
I’ve sent you a personal email today, inviting you to share any further details privately so we can look into this properly. As a company, we take all guest concerns seriously and will always investigate where needed — but we do also believe in giving everyone involved a fair and measured chance to respond.
The host you’ve referred to has worked with us for several years and this is the first time we’ve received feedback of this nature regarding her. While it’s clear you felt personally affected, I want to reassure you and other readers that this kind of experience is not reflective of our usual standards or guest care. We host thousands of guests each year, and kindness, professionalism, and inclusion are values we take seriously.
We are now looking into this grievance internally and, where appropriate, will speak with the team members involved across the event you attended. If any issues are found, they will be addressed directly.
Again, I’m sorry your night didn’t meet expectations. We remain open to resolving this with you, and we thank you for attending a second event with us — your past support hasn’t gone unnoticed.
