Ghost Hunting At Leeds, Armley Mills, England With Simply Ghost Nights - 13th Aug 2011

Once again we were helped so much on the event by Linda, and Lee who helped make sure the night ran smoothly and effortlessly and we at Simply Ghost Nights could not thank them enough for their help.

The night was a mixed bag of activity for some groups with several groups experiencing more paranormal activity than others, which only goes to show that you can not dictate where the spirit activity will manifest itself. On the whole it was quite an eventful night with a plethora of ghostly inhabitants of Armley Mills only willing to communicate with our brave ghost hunters.

In a vigil in the eerie cottages a group of ghost hunters were startled when attempting an ouija board experiment when the name Emily was spelt out this incident brought squeals of excitement as earlier in the event they had been fortunate to have made the acquaintance of Emily upstairs in the machinery room, (it was at this point in the proceedings that Alex asked to leave the room as she had become emotional, and Mark caringly took Alex outside for five minutes), Emily claimed to be seven years old and she was now joined by her mother who was called Kathleen. This revelation brought ecstatic whoops of joy from Dee, Sam, Tracey and Alex.

In two different vigils in the cinema the ghostly spirit of Henry made his spectral presence known to both groups, this was later disclosed at the events briefing at the end of the night, neither group knew of this fact that Henry the ghostly resident of Armley Mills had made his existence known to either group.

In the machinery room Lisa, Paul, Maria and Marion stood opened mouthed as they experienced for the first time the sounds of extreme table tapping and scratching from underneath the table on request.
The tapping was heard very clearly and was especially audible to those who were there in the room.

Also in the machinery room distinct groans were heard on several occasions which were heard by several ghost hunters in the machinery room.

In another vigil in the cinema the spirit of Jack Bray made ghostlike contact with the group and continued to answer the group’s questions on his age of passing, and the year in which he was born, this was a touching moment for the entire group who witnessed this spectacle. In the machinery room several groups reported that the table tipped towards each ghost hunter on request, and one group witnessed the table move with nobody touching the table.

In the downstairs room a group of ghost hunters were treated to table tipping that had Steve, Jo and Omar delighted at such a show of strength from the spirit world. In this vigil the table indeed tipped and even slid across the floor to each brave ghost hunter on request to the pleasure of Michelle, Tony and Mandy.

All in all it was a night full of paranormal activity from the ghostly dwellers of Leeds Armley Mills and a definite return will be made by the Simply Ghost Nights team in the near future.

Ghost Hunt With Chris Conway At The Old Nick Theatre, Gainsborough, & Simply Ghost Nights - 4th February

Simply Ghost Nights are delighted to welcome Chris Conway to haunted Lincolnshire at the Gainsborough "Old Nick theatre"

Would you like to be taken to the cells of the “Old Nick” where you will be detained overnight for questioning and to assist in our ghost hunt? The Old Nick now a theatre was once a fully operational Police Station with a very murky and spooky past, will you survive the darkness of this ghost night whilst sharing your cell with the prisoners of decades passed.

Will you feel the chill of the night as you reside in this very haunted location? Will you feel the spirits of Gainsboroughs old constabulary as you venture into the dark scary corridors?

Now converted from a Victorian police station and courthouse, the Old Nick Theatre is home to many spirits, spirits that once worked here, and spirits that performed on the stage of the theatre.

Paranormal activity reported in the past include... an apparition of a little girl on the staircase, a regular visitor from the other side Freddie who claims to have took his own life, furniture being heard to be dragged accross the floor of an empty room then upon checking nothing has actually been moved, The seats in the theatre fall into sit position upon request, many people report a face directly in front of theirs in the dark but the most amazing activity we have experienced at the Old nick has to be when a whole group actually witnessed a chair being thrown to the floor by unseen hands.

The Old Nick is now a grade two listed building, so come and join us if you want to simply be a ghost hunter for a night, in a building steeped in so much history.

Ghost Hunting Event At Whitley Hall, Sheffield, With Simply Ghost Nights 28th Jan 2012

Whitley Hall dates from the 1580s, Thomas Parker was the founder of this fantastic old dwelling previously known as Launder House . In 1622 Thomas Shiercliffe became the owner of the Whitley Hall estate which beside the Hall also included a corn mill, dovecote, smelting house, eight fields, two acres of woodland and four cottages. The Hall remained the property of the Shiercliffe family until the early part of the 19th century.
A local legend states that Mary, Queen of Scots, spent a night at Whitley Hall in the 1580s while in captivity at Sheffield Castle. This rumour was first reported by Jonathan Eastwood in his “History of Ecclesfield” of 1862. However there is no documentary evidence to back up the claim.

The hall has also been a school and turned into private lets over the years. Now though its been transformed into a 16th century ivy-clad mansion set in beautiful gardens with mature trees and two small lakes, However beneath the beautiful exterior lies many ghost stories and sightings including ....

A man who appears at the bar of the hotel but disappears when asked what he would like to drink, there is also a lady spirit seen in the same area of the bar wearing clothes from a time gone by. A maid is seen throughout the building often catching people unaware that she is there and also she then disappears.

Unused bedrooms are often found with disturbed bedding and pillows on the floor, guests are woken from their sleep by unseen hands shaking the bed, or more frighteningly shaking them from their sleep. A child spirit has been known to leave drawings on notepads that are in the bedrooms.

Many more things happen at this grand hotel and we cannot wait to get to investigate it. We will be investigating the three most haunted bedrooms as well as access to most of the building. Come and join us if you dare.

　

　

Ghost Hunting Event At Bishop's House, With Simply Ghost Nights

The oldest parts of Bishops' House were built in the 1500s. It's one of the oldest timber-framed building in Sheffield, typical of a large farmhouse or small manor house from that time. There are only three other surviving buildings of a similar date in Sheffield; Carbrook Hall (now the Carbrook Inn), Broomhall and the Queen's Head pub (previously known as the Hall in the Ponds).
In 1910 Armitage, a local historian, was one of the first people to refer to the house as Bishops' House in print. He acknowledged that there was no evidence for the direct connection with the Blythe bishops. However the Blythe's who owned the house may have been from another branch of the family.

William Blythe died in 1665 having received a free pardon from Charles II for his part in the English Civil War against the Royalists. A copy of the inventory produced on his death also survives. It shows more furnishings than in the previous list, and extra items including books, time-pieces and close stools (toilets) appear. He also possessed more silver than his father. Like his father, he combined farming and industry and his scythes were sold all over the north of England. His gravestone can be seen in the porch of Norton Parish Church.

The property which has very rarely been fully investigated is full of atmosphere and charm, You can actually feel how it was to live in the years gone by in this secluded gem.

The staff told us some of the previous reported activity which includes the eerie sighting of a woman in white who so tragically committed suicide by cutting her own throat. There is a box which is kept in an upstairs room (on full display) which reportedly used to stay locked but it appears to unlock itself even when there is no key left to do this. Banging has been heard on the windows, cold spots, hot spots, and voices heard from adjoining empty rooms.

Ghost Hunting At Chesleigh House, Former Maternity Hospital With SImply Ghost Nights

Once again our exclusive event at this fab old hospital sold out so we were lucky enough to secure another date for January 2012. Dont miss this rare chance to join us as the building is currently for sale so it could well be the last time we investigate it.
Come and join us on this exclusive investigation at a very haunted Old Maternity Hospital. Our previous investigation at this amazing olf building left us all thirsty for more. We made contact with many spirits and all our guests who joined us that night expressed the need to return. We didn`t need much persuading and decided to have a Christmas event of it.

This building dates way back infact it was once owned by Sir Hickman Bacon who also owned Gainsborough Old Hall. The house in the turn of the century became a naughty boys school where boys were very mistreated as they were in those days and then went on to become a Maternity Hospital.

In the war many woman were brought to this building to give birth to avoid the bombs in Hull and many other surrounding ports, which obviously led to many a death of both babies and their unfortunate mothers. In the 1970s it became a dance school for twenty years and now its used as a boys learning centre.

Many sightings have been reported as well as feelings of being watched, cold spots and more. Maggie the owner told us one night she joined a team of paranormal investigators at the building, to see what they could find out about the spirits that reside there and was left speechless, as a table tipped in front of her eyes, she then went on to witness three large very heavy punchbags move and sway as if being moved by unseen hands. The team are so excited to get investiagte this spooky old house.

PLEASE NOTE THIS LOCATION IS VERY COLD SO WILL REQUIRE YOU TO WRAP UP VERY WARM!

This event is completly exclusive to Simply Ghost Nights and we would love you to come along with us.
