Where Ghosts Come to Play: At The Crown Duel!

If you're seeking authentic paranormal activity in North Devon, the Crown Duels Pub, formerly The Second Stage in Ilfracombe, has earned a reputation as one of the region's most actively haunted venues.

Located on Wilder Road near the Ilfracombe seafront, this free house occupies the former Victorian-era Alexandra Hotel and holds over a century of dark, unsolved secrets.

Today, it is a premier destination for Devon ghost-hunting events, drawing both curious locals and dedicated investigators eager to document its unexplained phenomena.

Patrons frequently report hearing the phantom rattling of teacups in the corner of the pub where the old hotel's tea room once operated. Above the main bar, dark shadow figures are routinely spotted pacing the upper corridors, which researchers believe are the spirits of Victorian staff still tirelessly performing their daily duties.

Most notoriously, a highly territorial female ghost is known to inhabit the restrooms, occasionally pushing female patrons and openly showing dislike for ghost hunters encroaching on her space. Whether you are stopping by for a pint of Exmoor Stag real ale or booking a dedicated paranormal experience, the haunted Second Stage Pub offers a chilling supernatural encounter right in the heart of Ilfracombe.

Unearth the Paranormal: Ghost Hunt at Woodchester Mansion, Gloucestershire

Dare you to venture into the haunted depths of Woodchester Mansion? This abandoned Gothic masterpiece in the heart of Gloucestershire is a hotbed of paranormal activity with a chilling history that will send shivers down your spine. Join us for an unforgettable ghost hunt and delve into the mansion's dark secrets.

A History Shrouded in Paranormal Mystery:

Woodchester Mansion's unfinished state only adds to its eerie allure. Construction abruptly ceased in 1873, leaving behind a labyrinth of empty rooms and echoing corridors. Rumours of mysterious deaths and even murder during construction have fueled speculation of restless spirits.

During World War II, the mansion served as a base for American and Canadian troops. Tragedy struck when a bridge collapsed during training, plunging soldiers into the lake. Their bodies were stored within the mansion, and many believe their spirits still roam the halls.

Paranormal Hotspot:

Woodchester Mansion has earned a reputation as one of the UK's most haunted locations. Visitors and paranormal investigators have reported a chilling array of phenomena, including:

• Apparitions: Glimpses of shadowy figures, a white lady, and even soldiers in WWII uniforms.

• Poltergeist Activity: Objects moving on their own, doors slamming, and unexplained noises.

• EVP Recordings: Electronic Voice Phenomena capturing whispers and voices from the other side.

• Unease and Dread: An overwhelming feeling of being watched, cold spots, and inexplicable fear.

• Medical Smells: The smell of TCP in the Library

Unleash Your Inner Ghost Hunter at the Devonian.

The Devonian Guest House in Ilfracombe, built as a Victorian gentleman's residence in 1883, has gained a reputation as a ghostly hotspot. Situated in an acre of wood and garden in the Torrs Park Conservation Area, the property's picturesque-looking exterior belies the paranormal activity reportedly taking place inside. 

Prepare for a spine-chilling experience at the Devonian. Experiences reported by paranormal investigators and guests alike recount unexplained movements of cat balls and poltergeist behaviour in the cinema area, taps turning on in the rooms for no apparent reason, and strange, disembodied sounds of water. One or two have even seen a Victorian couple strolling down the grand staircase, with a ghostly cat occasionally seen at the bottom.

Past investigations have yielded even more intriguing results: a faucet mysteriously turning on, a mischievous butler interacting with equipment, and poltergeist activity in the cinema room.

Dare to explore the Devonian and uncover its darkest secrets.

Spend the Night Documenting The Unknown at Bitton House

Bitton House was home to Viscount Exmouth, one of Britain's great admirals. He lived there from 1823 until he died in 1833. He was born Edward Pellew and entered the Navy at 13. He was born in 1757, a year before Nelson. He is best remembered for defeating the Dey of Algiers (The Dey was an elected body of civilian, military and pirate leaders). The settlement with them after a massive bombardment led to the eventual cessation of the piracy and trading of enslaved Christians. Above the double doors to the gun deck at Bitton House is a stained-glass window depicting the Exmouth arms and commemorating the freeing of enslaved people. The two cannons are souvenirs of his Algerian campaign.

8 PM - 2 AM. Please arrive 15 minutes before the event starts.
