"Barleston hall. 09/11/24 Last night I joined Blackgate Paranormal at a hall which has never been investigated before in Stoke. A location originally lived in by a banker, then used as a residence by Josiah Wedgewood. Unfortunately in time the property and the church next door fell into disrepair like so many homes. The council arranged for it to be sold for £1 as long as there were plans in place to restore it to its former glory. It was suggested it cost about 3 million. The team were so welcoming to all and it seems that most of the guests return and it felt like a big family. We split into two groups and tried various communication methods in the church, we had k2s going off, along with my tad2 and sensor which picks up on air pressure changes. We went into the graveyard and got bits of activity. We then got to spend an hour in the house, a change of plan due to the venue. Three k2s placed in different areas kept on going up to red in unison, the air pressure sensor and tad2 went off a few times, but the highlight of the night was a spirit called Fred who tapped back on the table on command. We initially did a copy me tap and got a response, then went onto 1 tap for yes and 2 for no and we had intelligent answers to each. We even all moved away from the table to show no one was causing the taps by leaning on it etc. It only takes interaction like that to make a night incredible. It was lovely to see the son of the house join I'm on the evening. He had encountered taps and bangs in the house whilst he had lived there. Great to meet Holly Welch who had been my fb friend for a while. A great team who i will book with again, an interesting location."

"Keighley Underground Shops July 2024 We had a great night, the location is just amazing and it's absolutely massive!

Lots of different venues to choose from, can’t wait to get the next one booked, see you all soon, thanks for a great night"

"Bolton courts and police station June 2024 Really great night at Bolton Police Station As always professionaly run by the premier ghost hunting company. The correct balance of support, guidance and freedom to investigate seperstely. Such a strong team as always with the great addition of Chris who we had previously met at Mill Street Some good evidence in the library and court but excellent session in the upstairs classroom which provided 4 way evidence of contact Even the refreshments were first class We always recommend Blackgate for both experienced and newcomers to investigating Looking forward to the next event"

"Bolton Police Station and Cells. June 2024 Thank you team for last nights hunt at Castle Street police station. I still pooped myself on my second visit. Im glad i was brave enough to return to the station but dont sure if i go back a 3rd time. The atmosphere gives me the hibbee jeebies so il come to all the the hunts im free too and leave Castle street for the braver people. The judge in the corner of the court room certainly stopped me moving places in the court room. The cells had some nice cell enviroments but the whistling really gave me a giggle after a bit of panic.. Absolutely love this group and cannot wait until the next hunt with you. 👻"

"30 east drive, Monday 13th May Had an absolutely amazing night last night at 30 East Drive..

What more could a lady want 🤔 Such a fab night with absolutely amazing people 💕 👻"

"Chester casttle May 24 Thanks to Jayne Blackgate and team for a fantastic night. Most activity we have had anywhere and I really recommend Chester Castle. I will be doing that venue again. Great validations. Dissemody Voices, touches, equipment all active and my personal abilities were on point as an intuitive empath. Having the castle coordinator there really helped validate things. Whoever did not come really missed out. Thanks Blackgate Paranormal. I think we converted Anne Wright. 👻"

"Keighley Underground shops 21/4/24 I can only agree, what a great Venue and what a fabulous host. This is only my second time with Blackgate, but was definitely the best night, Ian really kept the energy high, and was really knowledgeable. Was a really interesting and fun night, can believe how quickly the time went. Look forward to the next one. Thanks Ian"

"Keighley Underground Shops 20/4/24 Had a fab night at Keighley underground last night. Been with Blackgate before, but first time being hosted by Ian. Although there wasn't loads of physical activity, Ian made the night by keeping the energy high in the group, along with Ian's abilities, it made for an extremely interesting night. Lots of laughs and banter too! Thanks Ian!"

"Bacup Royal Theatre March 24 it was a fabulous night as a team member everyone in mine and hollys group joined in and participated. And got involved we had a lot of activity in mainly dressing rooms and the two pub areas, they were a lovely group of people , special neil who a spirit seemed to like and follow him around ,we had a lot of laughs and a lot of scares .but over all an excellent night and positive night .👻"

"Walton hall, March 24 Great night at Walton hall with Blackgate Paranormal . If you enjoy a honest experience and a lovely bunch of people, make sure you book with them. Some EMF activity and a few cat balls. Lots of temperature changes. For us a pretty active night. The hall was amazing but have to admit before we left I went to the loo downstairs and had to walk down an old hall way that we never investigated. I ran back out if it. I don't get scared but I felt pure panic in that corridor. 👻"

"Morning jayne. I went to Walton House on my own last night and sat with 3 lovely people who welcomed me and lucky enough to be in their team. Because of the energy our group had we had good feed back our Blackgate team member was Malcolm Fairclough who is really sincere and funny. No issues that i was alone, felt very much part of the group. The feed back really made me chuckle and Claire, Leah and scots word catcher received some hilarious but accurate responses. We marked the floor with table tipping, played bingo with an attachment sprit. I personally struggled to breath on the staircase when I walked alone and activity in the group session having cat balls and sensors go off. The snacks were spot on when it was brew time. The door closed on us after a wander around the grounds and the final hour Mal was tormenting a murderer who we got a bit of detail from so looking forward to sharing with you to see if we can find anything from 1657. No other words to explain the experience. Great sleep was had"

"A real interesting night with plenty of activity. Thanks to all the team and in particular Ian, Jayne and the ladies in our group Looking forward to Bacup!!"

"WOW...Jayne and team... I can't thank you all enough for the amazing night you gave us last night at Etruria Hall... absolutely fab from start to finish... it was the best paranormal night our family have ever been on... your intro was very informative about the place also explaining about your previous experiences there, and asking about our personal experiences with the paranormal... the initial walk round to see all the rooms and letting us feel how they felt to us was a fantastic start to the night...not had that from any other groups we've been with....Mal and Arrisa (there you go a new car air freshener lol) for letting us be ourselves and choosing where we would like to investigate... we had an amazing table tipping experience in the cellar... that blew us all away... plus whistling we couldn't explain upstairs... we will all certainly join you again soon... you are the best... xxxx"

"Last night (23/02) we had the pleasure of joining Blackgate team at Etruria Hall and what an absolutely amazing night it was!! We had a lot of activity and heard some amazing things. The building itself was magnificent, and very big so lots of places to explore. This was the first time we had gone with Jayne and her team and I can say it will definitely not be our last. It was also my sons first ghost hunt ever and the spirits seemed to love having him around. We got some great footage of table tipping and some great pics to!! Jayne and her amazing team welcomed us like a family and we felt very comfortable being ourselves around them. I can honestly say it was THE best night we've been to with a team and I cant wait to book us on to another investigation. Thank you so so much for having us"

"Graisley Old Hall “The house that cries”. February 2024 Had the best night at graiseley old hall! Thank you to the Blackgate Paranormal team Mal Mandy holly and kev couldn’t have been better hosts. They are such knowledgeable caring lovely souls. I really feel part of family. Great venue too and we had some amazing action in one of the bedrooms. Loads of cat ball and emf action then when we asked it to move a catball, one flew off a dressing table! We screamed and Mal and Mandy came in to see if we were ok - after that all activity stopped. We scared them off with our loud screams!! Great night with Ella Jasmine Samuel and Lorna Brown Thank you to the team wonderful as ever 👻"

"Bolton courts and police station November 23. Absolutely loved the night. The building itself was incredible! The look, layout and upkeep were so impressive. Was fantastic to meet such a warm and welcoming group of people and I really enjoyed all the things we did. (Except for the judges chair) Thank you so much for such an amazing night 🙂"

"Bolton County Police station and courts, 25th November 2023 Fantastic building heaped with history, enjoyed the night also guide the welcoming hosts 👻"

"A bit of a quiet night but amazing venue and Blackgate team welcoming informative and friendly as always. We had a bit of response in the human pendulum at the end of the night .courtroom was absolutely amazing 👏."

"Had an amazing night at The Secret Bunker last night. It was an amazing venue, really impressive. Team as usual were awesome. Quiet start to the evening, but the human pendulum and copper sticks (can't remember the technical term) were fun....then an amazing Ouiji board to finish. Loved it as always. Thank you x"

"Awesome venue and team. Blackgate never disappoint, great hosts, friendly, welcoming environment. Very inclusive too so beginner to experienced the team cater for all. Highly recommend."

"National Emergency Museum 04/11/2023. Another superb investigation .You honestly will not find a better teams than Jayne and her team .A special thankyou to Holly also for a great night .Really enjoyed it ."

"Fabulous group eventful night at chester castle I loved it, I highly recommend this group if you’re looking for a group to investigate with look no further Blackgate paranormal are the best"

"Chester Castle October 23 Absolutely fabulous night with the blackgate team at chester castle tonight, activity was great, some brilliant table tipping in the cells really enjoyed the night could not wish for a better team to investigate with specially our Julie Styles with her tiny hands and tiny feet comment tonight 😂😂 im not going to forget that any time soon 😂, but all in all a fabtastic night If you are looking to start ghost hunting you will not find a better group than Blackgate Paranormal they are like family and make sure everyone feels welcome, thank you for a fabulous evening yet again Jayne Cobban-Hughes, julie styles and Geoff Blackgate 💕"

"Only started ghost hunting in March 2023 and been on about 5 so far. Blackgate far exceeded any other companies I’ve been with. Not only are they far cheaper (the facilitators are all volunteers but you wouldn’t know it as they are beyond professional) but it has a really family cosy feel and I felt relaxed as soon as I arrived. The facilitators made me feel so welcome and greeted me warmly. Gary a historian was at the venue and was so knowledgeable about historical event and was able to question the hosts about the time they lived in with knowledge. We had a lot of activity including talking to VIV a make soldier who fought and died in the castle. The building was phenomenal. Had one of the best nights in a long time. Facilitators Mal and Mandy and the team made our night so soecisl. Can’t believe they deliver what they do for the price half the price of many others. Big thank you and please can you adopt me into your family!!"

"Our party of six booked a private event with Jayne at Mill street barracks. The hosts on the night Mandy & Mal were superb and made everyone feel very comfortable. Very knowledgeable and professional. The entire group had a fantastic experience trying out a whole range of equipment and methods with some great results. We had such a laugh with “Dres” winding us up towards the end of the night. Table tipping in the basement- brilliant! We are already in discussions to book our next private event with Blackgate and hopefully have Mal and Mandy host us again. Thanks once again for a fantastic evening."

"Great night tonight at Wortley top forge ,fantastic venue and really active. Blackgate paranormal team awesome as always 👏 xxx"

"Pen-y-Lan another superb night. So much activity and so much history in the house .Each room was different. Looking forward to the next one ."

"After a quiet start, it soon warmed up in the cellar, maybe a nigh vision video would be good. Highly recommend investigating with Blackgate No trick, no gimmicks, brilliant night again. Thanks all Sue G XX"

"Pen y Lan (sept 23) First time ever on a ghost hunt, fantastic fun evening Cant wait to book the next one !!!"

"Pen Y Lan Hall ( September 23) This was our first foray into the paranormal with the Blackgate Group. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. We started out in the cellar and experienced a great deal down there such as cold spots and other interactions . The guides and Team 3 were excellent at leading the different sessions and did not push you into doing anything you were particularly uncomfortable with like the Ouija Board. overall a great girls night for those with a spooky inclination, we will be back for further experiences. Love Loren, Jess and Michelle."

"This was my second visit with the team at Blackgate and already they feel like family, all the hosts are lovely very pleasant and happy they make everyone feel relaxed and excited about the nights events, last night although activity was a bit less than expected was a very entertaining night and I must express that it is great value for money and I myself am well and truly hooked 😂 if you have not already joined our little paranormal family don’t waste any more time join us on a hunt you won’t regret it"

"Fantastic night at Pen-y-lan Hall tonight, really active. Team great as always 👍. Thank you for a great night see you at the next one in 2 weeks time 😁"

"We visited Etruria hall, had an amazing time with all the team they were very professional and made you feel welcome, would definitely recommend to anyone who believes in the paranormal and wants a proper ghost hunt!"

"ETRURIA Hall August 23 Thankyou for letting us join you tonight enjoyed every minute and what a lovely team 🙂 hopefully see you again soon if I can get to you 😂😊"

"ETRURIA Hall - August 23 What a super evening , throughly enjoyed every minute. The table Tipping at the end was the cherry on the cake so to speak Etruria Hall is an amazing place, so much activity. Can't wait to revisit ."

"ETRURIA Hall - August 23 Thank you so much Jayne and crew for making me feel welcome loved every second came as a stranger left as friends you will most definitely be seeing us both again soon 😉❤️ 👻"

"Etruria Hall , 13 /08/2023.What and amazing place. So much activity, it was an absolute gem to investigate. Literally every area was active .The team are just superb again.

"Absolutely brilliant team. It was my first ghost hunt, I was made to feel very welcome. I loved every minute of the evening and I'm looking forward to doing it again."

"Graisley Old Hall , what an amazing investigation .Absolutely loved every minute of it .So much activity,like the house is a living, breathing soul .Such a great team , highly recommended.

Come along and see , you certainly wouldn't regret it ."

"Mill St Barracks. Enjoyable event , well organised, well informed. Professional team that worked together to make the evening fly by. Good rapport with the team we were put together with. Unlike most of the ghost hunting programmes on t.v. where the spirits are tormented into providing evidence. All experiments etc were carried out with great respect to the energies. Well done everyone. We will be back for another event at one of your interesting venues."

"We had a great evening and a lot of experiences at Mill Street Barracks on 15th July. Especially in the basement/morgue and the rooms above it. Our group leader was Geoff, and he was a great guide. We will definitely be coming back to more Blackgate Paranormal events."

"Very well organised and honest event, although we didn’t get too much activity on the night our team kept us going and we’re fantastic at looking after us We will definitely be coming back, team of brilliant people 👻"

"Great night, very well organised with good people, doughnuts were great 👍 5* very interesting night"

"Our first time with Blackgate Paranormal and what a fabulous time we had, lots of knowledge, lots of equipment and tons of patience, great experiences and the price is very reasonable. We will certainly be back, thank you"

"Chester castle June 23 Well organised, fabulous knowledge of the castle, fab location, blackgate paranormal are a very professional team and made us feel welcome"

"Chester Castle 24th June with my 2 friends and had a fantastic spiritual night met some brilliant people the team of Blackgate Paranormal were fantastic they went above and beyond to keep us informed and the safety was always paramount. Hopefully we can join this group on another investigation."

"First paranormal event we have attended, enjoyed it that much we booked onto another as soon as we got home. Jayne and her team are amazing, very friendly, welcoming and inclusive. Plenty of different devices to use, along with refreshments throughout the evening. Go with an open mind, get involved with the action or watch from the sidelines, a great experience is sure to be had. Thank you for a great night see you in Pen-y-lan Hall, Keith & Christian."

"10/06/2023 Leasowe Lighthouse what an incredible experience in a Thunderstorm .I am very sensitive and going with Jayne and her superb team has helped me to really build on this and on arrival at the lighthouse I immediately picked up on the spirit of a small terrier dog .I was so chuffed when this was actually verified by one of the volunteers of the lighthouse .Many thanks to Geoff and Julie too it was a real pleasure to be in your team .I look forward to many more investigations ."

"Leasowe lighthouse June 23 We have had such an amazing night. The lighthouse is a fantastic building and the staff were very welcoming and professional. The whole experience has been brilliant, thank you all very much x"

"Great night, wonderful place, staff great thank you"

"Amazing night, amazing experience. Geoff was a brilliant team leader 5*"

"Hi Jayne, We attended Leasowe Lighthose last night. We have attended a lot of events in recent times, trying out all differant event teams. We found Blackgate by accident, as we were very keen on visiting this lighthouse and no other event teams has it i their portfolio. We are so glad we did, the entire team has a totally different approach, it is like joining a family. Everyone interacts which builds a great atmosphere and positive energy. It is refreshing to join a team who clearly enjoy it and it is not just a business and we are clients. The entire evening was well organised and we had a super sub group run by Kev who was excellent. The venue itself is great, really interesting with great views. As I say it was nice to feel part of the team with impressions and observations valued. It is nice to have proper tea coffee biscuits etc rather than the cheapest Aldi offering! I hope Jayne’s sciatica improves for Shibden Hall in August which we are looking forward to. If you want to attend an event which is a cut above the rest I suggest you give Blackgate a go."

"Jayne and her team are truly just the best .I have been with a previous group for a number of years and they were not a patch on Jayne and her team .I have been to a number on my own now and have always been made to feel incredibly welcome. Not only that I have also met some lovely regulars too .The venues are always superb .If you are thinking of trying Paranormal investigating this is the team you need don't bother with anyone else , they are the best out there."

"It was our first time with you at wath hall last night (3/6/23). Had a very interesting night. Got lots of activity in the cellar but unfortunately it got quiet upstairs. But with an amazing team it made our night. we can’t Thankyou all enough for being so welcoming and friendly. Your all so down to earth and we can’t wait to join you on another one. Amy,Tom & kerry x"

"Another great active night with the Team at Wath Hall ,great friendly team and brilliant night again 😀 Definitely recommend Blackgate 👌. Fun nights and making more friends with every event we attend 😊"

"This weekend I attended my very first Blackgate paranormal event. I must admit I am / was sceptical of what I was getting myself involved with. Upon arrival we was greeted by Jayne and her team who outlined the agenda for the evening. They then went onto explaining how the equipment used works and the reasons why it is used in paranormal investigations. We was then given some information about the venue but not too much so people are not able to jump to conclusions. We then split into groups supported my two members of the team, We was then taken into various parts of the house to experience different environments. We was encouraged to participate in events such a table tipping and Ouija boards to try and connect with the spirits. Unfortunately we didn’t seem to make contact but we did have all the tools to hand to do so. To summarise I am still a little sceptical but I really did enjoy myself. I can’t stress enough how professional the Blackgate team are in supporting inexperienced group members and took the time to explain what is happening or is likely to happen in certain events. I will be attending a further event in the future as it was great fun around good open minded people. 👻 👻 👻"

"Antwerp mansion 27.5.23 We had a great night and antwerp mansion with a lot of activity. Feel the mansion has a lot more history than actually already known which is very dark. Great hosts again. We will definitely be back. Thanks Jayne and team looking forward to more venues 👻"

"Really enjoyed Chester Castle history of the building is fascinating and the spirit activity didn’t disappoint Blackgate are a friendly welcoming team who go the extra mile to make the experience extra special smaller groups and the team stay with you all night"

"6/5/23 Chester Castle- Enjoyable night. Especially the history of the building and the age. Favourite room is the chapel, we asleep had table tipping in one of the cells x"

"6/5/23 Chester Castle- Brilliant night, really insightful. looking forward to attending future events 👻"

"May 6th 23 Chester Castle It was a fantastic night, such a fantastic venue. Can't wait to see if the camera caught us with the table tipping. 😊 Thank you Blackgate paranormal, you are brilliant."

"Chester castle. May 6th 23. Thanks for a brilliant night at Chester Castle what a venue certainly ticks boxes for both historic buildings which are spiritually active well done to hosts Blackgate Paranormal for their friendly welcome and expert knowledge groups not to large and stay with you throughout the night just a brilliant experience would recommend"

"Have really enjoyed my two investigations with Blackgate they are a friendly group who welcome both new and experienced investigators"

"Really enjoyed tonight's investigation as did the other members of my family who attended brilliant friendly team and fantastic location"

"Really enjoyed my first Paranormal night with Blackgate ! Well organised with many friendly people willing to help and answer questions. I saw enough to bring on many questions which I feel will only be answered by attending more nights. A prospect I am well looking forward to. See you all again"

"Had our first experience with Blackgate last night at Mill Street Barracks and it didn't disappoint. All the team are really friendly and the team leaders do a fantastic job at putting everyone at ease throughout the night (special shout-out and thank you to Julie). Loads and loads of equipment to try out and for those less experienced they explain how everything works. Plenty of tea, coffee and other refreshments are available throughout the night aswell. Thank you for a brilliant night and we will be seeing you again. 😁😁"

"Went to the Military Barracks in St Helens a couple of weeks ago and was blown away! The team were amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. The venue was active. I was petrified when I got there, but felt so calm during the night I can't wait to go on another night. Thanks for an amazing experience x"

"Thank you so much for a wonderful night, the friendly team we’re amazing, and great location too Naomi x"

"Really good experience, thank you. All our love the 3 Amigos ❤️"

"Hello Jayne, What a fantastic night!! A massive thank you form us! I just wanted to give my feedback here as I tried to write in the notepad but my hands got so cold I couldn’t write properly and it looks like scribble so you likely can’t read it haha sorry. It was the best ghost night eve been on, we loved everything about it. The table tipping was brilliant, lots of variety of activities and amazing energy. The staff were warm, welcoming and great company. Well organised, fantastic venue! We thought it was brilliant having the historians on the team, a unique and excellent addition to the experience- Gary was fantastic, he really brought soo much to the experience. Thanks again! Hopefully see you soon! Charlie and Jim :)"

"What an amazingly active night at the Hive in Winsford on Friday. Down in the cellar, the emf meters were lighting up, the cat toys were flashing and the table tipping, it was going around in circles on one leg !! Upstairs, the table tipping was active, with it being thrown to the floor at one point, also shadows were seen and the sound of footsteps were heard. Thank you Jayne and your team, you were all so friendly and knowledgeable, can't wait to do another hunts with all you guys."

"The Hive 6/1/33 - Quality night thanks for hosting us teamblackgate 🙏 lots to analyse - disembodied voice; whispers, taps/knocks etc - table tipping in the basement was off the charts and the k2s lighting up like xmas! The SLS session with you Holly too was very interesting 👻👻👻"

"What can I say? Totally hooked. Just had to rewrite my Christmas list to include Kitten balls and an EMF recorder! The team was fantastic and I really felt involved and included. I really enjoyed learning about the equipment from the more experienced people on the hunt and we had some amazing experiences. I was worried I would be a little bit of a laughing stock showing up with my GhostTube app and a smile but it was right on the money and helped to piece together a lot of the info we got. An amazing evening and I have booked two more to drag my unwilling husband to. If you are dithering just book it. Thanks to the team and in particular Jayne and Peter."

"The Hive, November 2022 Thank you! We had such a good time at The Hive last night, will definitely be coming to more of the events 🤩❤️ x 👻"

"The Hive , November 2022 Thank you all! It was a brilliant night and we will definitely be back for more!🤩 x"

"We have had some amazing nights ghost hunting with Blackgate paranormal.Everyone is so friendly especially Jayne who is so genuine.Not your usual money grabbing groups .looking forward to Shibden Hall next year."

"The Blackburne Arms, Warrington 23/10/22 This was my 2nd time out with the Blackgate crew, I'd previously been on an investigation at the Ring O Bells in Warrington & much better than any other ghost hunt I'd been to in the past. The guys who run Blackgate are brilliant, they have a real passion for what they do & make sure that every participant has a good night at their events & the Blackburne Arms didn't disappoint, there were lots of activity in the various rooms at the pub. I really can't recommend the Blackgate team enough & will definitely be going on more investigations with them. The majority of ghost hunt events tend to be extremely expensive & u are more an onlooker watching them do the investigation, whereas with Blackgate u are one of the investigators & encouraged to participate in any activity that's done. The price paid to join the investigation is great value & the team are brilliant. Highly recommended & they have plenty of events coming up over the next 12 months"

"MILL STREET BARRACKS 8th OCTOBER Superb night, really enjoyed myself. Thank you for being so welcoming. So much activity.

"Mill Street Barracks, St Helens. Sat 20th August 2022. Good evening !, friendly group, lovely and welcoming. I thought it might be better if you had different experiment set up at each point rather than doing everything/ the same things at every point. Did enjoy it and there was some good activity so i would love to come back again, thanks for a fab night. Blackgate Team: Lisa thank you for taking time to give us valued feedback your comments are valid and taken on board thanks, we would love to welcome you again to any event"

"Mill Street Barracks: 20th August 2022. What a wonderful venue, lots going on and unexplainable noises, the table tipping was epic and the team are wonderful. I will certainly be joining you again someday(well if you will have me !)"

"30 East Drive, Pontefract - Monday 11th July 2022 A wonderful evening - Jayne was very welcoming from the first moment, welcoming people and putting them at their ease. The key to these nights is to expect nothing at all to happen - it's not like the Hollywood films, and spirits aren't performing monkeys - then, if you're lucky enough to have an experience, that's a bonus. The group had a fairly quiet night, given the reputation of the place, but there were enough little things like the light up balls going off and the meters responding to questioning to make it an interesting evening. We were with a great bunch of people, and the vibe was really friendly - and you were welcome to conduct your own experiments if you so wished. I spent an interesting half an hour in the "coal hole", which produced some intriguing effects including something grabbing at my legs, and we also had an incredible experience in the smallest bedroom - but most of all, I was impressed with the professionalism of the team. Jayne and Geoff were great hosts, serious enough but with a devilish streak of humour, and unlike some events I've witnessed where people are making loads of noise, trampling round the place kicking ten tons of dust up and then saying "ooh, look at all the orbs..." and putting suggestions into people's heads (ooh, can you see that black figure over in the corner) they were controlled enough to give any happenings a fighting chance, and honest enough when nothing happened to say fair enough, let's not make anything fit or try to pretend something's going on. Honest, reasonably priced and friendly, the event made for a great night's entertainment - if you've a passing interest in the unknown, one of Jayne's events would make a great change from sitting in front of the TV one night. And you never know...you might capture a bit of evidence of something strange..."

"Had an enjoyable first ghost Hunt with a very friendly bunch of people was made very welcome and although the activity was quieter than usual at East Drive it was a good experience and nice to stay at such a famous location"

"Our first investigation with the team and it won’t be the last. The whole team are friendly and made you feel included with an unexpected array of refreshments provided.

"It has been a really entertaining night and an excellent group of people. Even though I have been involved in the paranormal for many years it still entertained me very much and will be looking out for other events in the future. Thank you to your team for looking after us"

"Had a fantastic night with Blackgate Paranormal at Todmorden Unitarian Church, will definitely book for future events 😀"

"Huge shout out to Blackgate Paranormal for an amazing night 👻👻👻 Lots of activity witnessed and experienced! Can't wait for the next one Todmorden Unitarian Church December 4th 2021"

"Summary from Todmorden Unitarian Church, November 2021 . The church was really cold which added to the atmosphere, by the time we all arrived it was very dark and the church was lit up in all its splendour, this gave a really haunting feeling of how the evening was to pan out. Hot drinks were a plenty and we all settled down and got to know everyone in their teams. The evening started with brief health and safety and introductory presentation including equipment and we commenced with a seance in the main church which seemed slow to start with but set the scene for what was to become later in the evening. The team were split into three each with a team member. We utilised the main church, the bell tower and the cellar. We also had lock off cameras to capture any anomalies both visual and audible. The teams experienced a lot of awesome table tipping experiences some time quite vigorous, cat balls activating and tapping on tables triggering the vibration sensors and we had some clear information from the Ouija board situated in the bell tower. Then it was break time with some beautiful spicy carrot soup to warm us up, crusty bread and sausage rolls and to discuss what our findings and to try and her warm Free time, some guests utilised the grave yard , some went back to the bell tower and cellars Overall what a fabulous night, with happy guests and can’t wait for the next one See you there Love the Team ❤️"

"Really genuine group, loved the night and the experience. Some scary moments but what an experience.Great to chat to like minded people, Late night out with a difference !"

"Choice of equipment was great. It was easy to engage with such a lovely group.
