NIGHTIME EXPERIENCES YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS!

Blackpool’s award-winning Supernatural Events is returning to some of Blackpool and the North West’s most haunted locations this winter for more chilling, and thrilling, ghost tours and investigations!

There will be four overnight investigations in the latest series of events along with ghost walks, tours and a coach trip to one of England’s scariest locations!

The January Jitters start on Friday 8th with an overnight investigation at the Spanish Hall Suite in Blackpool’s Winter Gardens. Experience for yourself some of the paranormal phenomena that has been felt, heard and seen by many in the beautiful, but scary, rooms! Tuesday 12th sees a return to the original Blackpool Illuminations Depot. This location was due to be demolished earlier this year however, a stay of execution has given Supernatural Events an opportunity to bring its tours back to the location that Derek Acorah said was “most definitely haunted and an exciting location for ghost tours” when he visited with his television show Ghost Towns. 2009 saw the ghost tours extend to Blackburn with a visit to Thwaites Empire Theatre; a second tour is being held at this small but beautiful theatre on Wednesday 20th January. On Monday 25th join the ghost tour at Blackpool’s Opera House when you have the opportunity to investigate areas of the theatre the general public would not normally get a chance to see!

Get the February Frighteners with a ghost tour of the beautiful by day, but “dark” by night Empress Ballroom and Pavilion Theatre at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens on Tuesday 2nd or why not enjoy(!) an overnight investigation at the original site of Blackpool’s municipal aerodrome – Blackpool Zoo. Ian Lawman from LivingTV’s Living with the Dead said, “Blackpool Zoo is an amazing location; for those interested in the paranormal, go experience for yourself!”

March Madness might set in if you choose to take part in a ghost tour at the Spanish Hall Suite, Blackpool Winter Gardens on Monday 1st. There are also two overnight investigations held this month; with a return to Supernatural Events’ spiritual home, The Grand Theatre on Friday 12th and the Blackpool Opera House on Friday 26th. Both locations have had many reports of strange occurrences taking place and are sure to sell out quickly!

Paranormal Preview – Awesome April

All aboard! The Ghost Coach is taking to the road again on Friday 9th April with a visit to Morecambe Winter Gardens. The coach leaves the Grand Theatre, Blackpool at 6.30pm for seven hours of paranormal investigations into the reported hauntings of this Victorian theatre. As well as using paranormal investigative equipment such as thermometers, EMF meters, dowsing rods, crystals there will be a psychic medium in attendance. The theatre has been featured on many television shows such as Most Haunted – now you have the opportunity of getting up close and personal with the ghosts of the Winter Gardens for yourself – if you dare!

Stephen Mercer, founder of Supernatural Events said “There are going to be some scary events in 2010 and this is only the start of a sensational supernatural diary… more are being arranged and finalised at the moment; so do keep looking out for more information in the Gazette and on www.SupernaturalEvents.co.uk for future ghost tours and investigations coming soon!”

blackpool illuminations depot

The Illuminations Depot, situated on Blackpool’s Rigby Road, is an old building, comprising of offices, workshops and storage sheds which also has a history of being a donkey stable prior to becoming home to the world famous Illuminations.

Due to the nature of the work carried out there; restoring, repairing and designing the lights and tableux, staff are often in the building late at night and many have experienced what could be supernatural occurrences.

In 2005, spirit medium Derek Acorah visited the depot for his television series Derek Acorah’s Ghost Towns and experienced some paranormal activity. Now you have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the famous clairvoyant and investigate the building for yourself.

The current site of Blackpool’s Illuminations Depot was to close in 2009 to make way for a new campus of Blackpool & Fylde College; however this has been delayed and the team at Blackpool Illuminations led by our co-host on the tours, Mr Peter Parr, have allowed us to return for ghost tours in early 2010. Don’t miss out on participating in the last of the  Ghost Tours at this wonderfully haunted Blackpool location. Book now!

Tuesday 12th January - Ghost Tour - 8pm to 10pm. Tickets: £10 per person. Telephone Bookings: 01253 290190. Online Bookings: click HERE.

SpookFest 2009 - Blackpool’s first Hallween Festival is now, sadly, over. The week-long festival began on Sunday 25th October with two paranormal-based workshops held by Para Projects, the team behind the Unexplained Channel’s Spook School.

With ghost tours at Blackpool Zoo, Spanish Hall Suite, North Pier Theatre, the Grand Theatre and an overnight investigation at Blackpool Opera House, there were plenty of “spooky” things to do!

Also during the week were the Terror Trail, a free event for families, an evening of mediumship and the delightfully devilish double presentation Terrifying Tales and a Victorian Spirit Séance. If you managed to get seats or places on these events we hoped you enjoyed them.

Here’s to SpookFest 2010…

Happy Hauntings!
