Follow in the footsteps of the recent 'Most Haunted' vigil at the castle (as seen on Living TV on 18 March 08). A very special event in which you can take part in a ghost hunt with former 'Most Haunted' medium David Wells at the terrifying Oxford Castle!
This is your chance to experience the austere confines of the 18th-century Debtors Tower and Prison D-wing and the dark atmosphere of the 900 year old underground Crypt; marvel at the Mound of the 11th-century motte and bailey castle with vaulted well chamber; climb the Saxon St George's Tower and it is now open exclusively for this very special event!
Come and join David Wells and the Fright Nights team to uncover the many reports of paranormal activity at the Oxford Castle site including:
- The Murderer Mary Blandy was tried and hanged at Oxford in 1752, her ghost has been see a number of times walking the Castle Mound
- In the 1970s a group of inmates held a seance in one of the cells sparking poltergeist activity, in the end a priest was called to conduct an exorcism
- A strange white mist has been witnessed rising up a flight of stairs, two prison guards watched in horror as it faded in front of their eyes
- In the past the Castle has been used as a film set. More recently during filming, a group of film extras heard unidentifiable shouts and screams echoing around the main buildings. On at least two occasions there has been unexplained physical damage to various items stored at the prison
- Security guards have long been uneasy doing the rounds at night and the most terrifying apparition was spotted by one guard and his dog on a nightly patrol. The dog stopped and growled while its master saw two black figures in front of him, days later the dog died of fright!
The night begins with a special tour of the building detailing real-life experiences and historical information researched by experts. After the tour there is a sumptuous two course buffet meal overlooking the castle before you will be introduced to David Wells, our medium for the night. David is one of the UK’s top mediums, formerly from Living TV's Most Haunted and is a regular astrologer for magazines.
Join David Wells and the Fright Nights team for an evening of mediumship, ghost hunting and also great fun where David unravels the secrets of astrology, tarot, past lives and shares his journey from the Royal Navy through to one of the country's best known intuitives.
For the second part of the night, David will use his skills in a completely different way – to sense ghosts and spirits. With the lights off, using clairvoyancy the mediums will give an account of what they are witnessing, detailing styles of clothing, appearance and names. During this time there is also a possibility of activity during the communication between ghost and medium!
Please note: Over 18s only.
