Famous ghost-hunters converge at Bletchley Park

13th March 2009 Print
Famous ghost-hunters converge at Bletchley Park Fright Nights, the UK’s leading ghost hunting specialist, is to host a special night which will see four of the biggest names in ghostly TV converge at the notoriously haunted and historical Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire. Dr Ciaran O’Keeffe, Richard Felix, Ian Lawman and special guest star, Brian Shepherd will take to the stage and discuss their life experiences, appearances on TV shows and their beliefs.

The event, which is open to the public, will take place on Wednesday 29 April from 7pm to midnight.

All four special guests have appeared on TV programmes including ‘Most Haunted’, ‘Most Haunted Live’, ‘Jane Goldman Investigates’, ‘Living with the Dead’ and ‘Famous and Frightened’. Each guest brings with them a wealth of knowledge and experience of the paranormal. Dr Ciaran O’Keeffe works as a parapsychologist focusing on testing mediums and psychics in the laboratory and field-work examining haunting experiences. Ian Lawman is renowned as one of the world’s leading exorcists and mediums. Brian Shepherd is one of the leading psychic artists whose work has been exhibited nationwide whilst Richard Felix is a well known TV paranormal historian, presenter and ghost hunter.

Bletchley Park was built in 1883 and was home to the wealthy Leon family. At the heart of their estate of 300 acres they built a mansion in a curious mixture of architectural styles. Following the deaths of Sir Herbert and Lady Fanny Leon, Bletchley Park fell into the hands of property developer Captain Hubert Faulkner, who intended to demolish the buildings and sell the land as a housing site.

However, in 1938 with the threat of war looming, the Government intervened. The Government Code and Cipher School, then based in London, needed a safer home where its intelligence work could carry on unhindered by enemy air attacks. Bletchley Park became the codebreaking centre that helped win the Second World War by cracking Germany's Enigma Code.

Martin Jeffrey, Director of Fright Nights said "We are delighted to be hosting this special event that will see four of the most experienced and well known figures in the paranormal industry share their experiences with the public. With its dark and foreboding history, Bletchley Park is the ideal location for this special event”.

Each special guest will give a 30 minute talk with a final question and answers session for members of the public to ask probing questions. A large psychic and ghost hunting fair will also take place where visitors can obtain autographs and photo opportunities with the guest speakers.

Tickets, which cost £65, can be purchased online at frightnights.co.uk.
