Croxteth Hall Ghost Hunt with Haunted Rooms
Thursday 31 October and Friday 1 November
Haunted Rooms invites you on a thrilling night of ghost hunting at Croxteth Hall, one of Merseyside’s most historic and infamously haunted locations. Inside the building lurks several ghosts. They include a young boy standing by the dining room fireplace. A dark shadowy figure that moves around the billiard room, and a gentleman, believed to be the 6th Earl of Sefton, walks through the tearoom and his former bedroom.
Newsham Scream Park
Tuesday 29 October – Saturday 2 November
Three truly terrifying scare mazes wound through the historic and haunted building in Newsham Park, Liverpool.
Steeped in folklore, the Victorian Grade II listed Newsham Park Hospital was the site of an orphanage, hospital and asylum. Narrow passages lead into shadowy basements and staircases descend into darkness, where shadowy spaces link to the past and a chill lingers in each compressed space. Wheelchairs, trolleys and machinery from decades ago are strewn around, whilst echoes linger longer throughout the eerie building.
Long since abandoned to the elements, Newsham Park Hospital is a mecca for ghost hunters and spectral thrill seekers. It is regularly cited as one of the UK’s most haunted buildings, stalked by those who used to govern it or be its unfortunate guests, and welcomes back Newsham Scream Park for season two.
