Stratford Ghostfest

Ghost hunters Fright Nights will bring the four day Ghost Festival to Stratford-upon-Avon and feature ghost walks, investigations, paranormal workshops, psychic fairs and séances.

The commercial organisation will sell tickets to these events from between £9 and £29 pounds.

One of the United Kingdom’s most haunted sites – the Falstaff’s Experience – will feature in the event. Fright Nights has organised celebrity medium and exorcist, Ian Lawman, will be sent to the Falstaff’s Experience to try and contact John Davies and other spirits. Most Haunted viewers may remember John Davis as one of the most violent spirits the TV show encountered.

A serial murderer from the 18th century, the pickpocket spirit of a little girl and an archer from the days of Henry VIII are among the other ghosts believed to haunt the building.

Ghostfest runs from June 18th to the 21st. On the 20th a ‘Séance and the Psychic’ event will be held on in The White Swan hotel. It is thought that Shakespeare himself bough his bread from the 15th century building.

Ghostfest in Stratford has been planned to coincide with the summer Solstice. On the night of the solstice itself the demonologist and clairvoyant medium Daniel Macdonald will be leading an investigation into dark energies in the area.
