Hauntedrooms Reviews

Shambles

I really don t like leaving negative reviews for anything but on this occasion I feel I need to The event was booked for my friend s birthday and we paid 119 pp for dinner bed breakfast and the ghost hunt We drove 3 hours from the North West and the pair of us where really looking forwards to the evening Upon arrival there was no record of our booking - thankfully the hotel sorted it out and found us a room People that we had spoken to had been emailed prior to their stay a bit of an itinerary however we never received this so we were clueless as to what was going to be happening I agree with the other reviews - the communication from the hosts wasn t great at all We didn t know who the hosts where as they didn t make themselves known to guests I had to approach them politely to ask how the evening would pan out and what the plans for the hunt where The food the hotel provided us with was lovely as was all the service we received from staff at Missenden Abbey The meal itself was a shambles The room a marquee we ate in was freezing and there was complimentary wine throughout the meal which as a non-drinker I found odd for an event like this A few people on our table mentioned that they had been on ghost hunting experiences before and found it absurd that free booze was readily available By the time the ghost hunt started around 9 30pm the majority on our table had lost interest and where restless as we had been sat around for over 2 hours in a freezing cold marquee with zero communication We didn t witness any paranormal activity but we understood that this may may not happen and is part of the game What we did witness was a disorganised and shoddily put together evening which was a real shame We would definitely go on another ghost hunt but unfortunately not with this company

Scolton Manor event

Joined your event at Scolton Manor on Saturday 11th March I was disappointed in how you presented yourself and how you run your events it wasn t very organised at all We had No equipment to use other than apps from phones or a radio Didn t have breaks as our group host kept on running over times Being talked over in every vidual by our host when calling out for spirit he was more interested in talking about the history of the local town Host feeding information when we was told that he wouldn t give us any knowledge of the historical history I didn t enjoy my experience with this ghost hunting company what so ever and will never make the mistake of booking you in the future I have never wanted to leave an event a couple of hours into it I only stayed as it was my friends first ghost hunt and I didn t think it fair To say it was the worst ghost hunt I have ever been on is putting it mildly And I ve been to many

Shambles of a company

Where to begin We booked a night ghost investigating at Margam Castle for my birthday and I feel extremely sorry for them for wasting there money on this The team members never introduced themselves no structure to the night and there was no grounding protection offered to anyone or newbies Use of equipment was non existent unless you class a glass cup as equipment On previous ghost investigations with other groups we had access to EMF Spirit boxes REM pods etc Each investigation consisted of the same stuff spirit board glass cup Nothing else They did not let you investigate they wanted to run the show and it was known Team members were more interested in flexing there own ego s And one team member was extremely rude At one point I felt like I was back in school the way one member spoke to us like children To top it off you could clearly see one team member rocking a table and classing it as paranormal this was witnessed by all it was at this point we were done and wanted to leave early If I had driven a long way to go to this event I would be asking for my money back If I could give 0 stars I would

Amateur and unprofessional

Attended a ghost tour 2 x nights ago with this company On arrival 2 of the leaders were stood outside the entrance smoking So many people were there - not the little number I expected from the website We split into 4 x groups one person in our group was very loud immature and nothing was said to her at all The company in my opinion was unprofessional it seemed amateur Leader kept checking their phone and moaning that it was going to take them two hours to drive home Equipment was very basic and didn t seem to work effectively There was no structure to the night and within a couple of hours I was ready to leave I also felt that the leader was antagonising the spirits with the way that she spoke to them We had zero contact from any spirit and neither did any of the groups We left early and so did others Wish we hadn t wasted so much money Would do another one ghost hunt but definitely not with this company

Lame

It was our third experience of this kind Nothing ever happens but at least it s relatively entertaining around Halloween time This time we actually left 2 hours before it finished as it was that lame and boring Refreshments offered were tea coffee squash and cheap biscuits equipment consisted of cat toys torch and some emf readers and the leader of our little group was clearly improvising and sounded bored by her own voice Great shame as this kind of experience if properly prepared and delivered can be interesting as we have seen in the past on more than one occasion This one was simply exhausting and offensive huge waste of time and money Don t bother

Don t bother

Was at the event last night at Belgrave Hall Leicester and wish I d not bothered Such a shame as myself and my group were really up for it It was poorly organised and lead our leaders repeatedly told us they were new to it and apologised for their ineptitude They couldn t work their phones equipment and we spent a lot of time waiting for them to get to grips with what they should be doing A few times members of our group actually took control as it was clear they hadn t planned what to do They hadn t researched the Hall giving wrong information about when the Hall was built and members of the group actually corrected and filled them in with their own research The breaks were long whilst the people leading it went out to vape smoke and at one point we were all sat waiting whilst they tried to get their friends earphones working It was actually laughable and when they started to rock the table for table tipping we were out Complete joke and waste of money-don t waste your time with it Most people left before 2am which shows the group were not engaged It was also a very large group - they d done well out of us too making just under 2 5k

I attended this event with high hopes

I attended this event with high hopes and was severely looking forward to the evening but unfortunately I left slightly disappointed My first impression was that of concern as one of the guides was dressed as Dracula and wearing a cape I understand this was probably due to the place we were investigated and was used to assist in triggering some activity I just thought it was not going to be taken seriously at this point During the briefing it was advised there was a K2 EMF detector and Cat Balls for the investigation both of which are commonly used in Ghost Investigations However the website promised much more including a Spirit Box and equipment for the Estes Method Once the vigils started we started with the Ouija Board and alarms were raised instantly The guide was unsure how to use the device indicating that I think you open the board by doing this and I think you close it by doing this This concerned me as the board is not a toy and must be taken seriously at all times and if you are unsure how to use the equipment fully it should not be used at all A few of the guests used the board nonetheless and looked to be getting responses After taking a closer look it was clear to see one of the guests pushing the glass around the board the guide did not use the board I also noticed that the guide was using a free app on his phone these apps are not always accurate and can be very easy manipulated or coded to give an impression of activity when there is none I believe the correct equipment should be on hand at all times After this we moved onto another room this room had two heads of accused murderers This is where things started to go much further south The guide was shouting insults at the heads and singing songs to them and trying to aggravate even putting on a fake accent I found this disrespectful to the spirits and although there were accused this could always provoke an unintended reaction I felt like it was not being taken seriously After the break we headed down to the cells and this unfortunately is where I was left most disappointed The Tipping Table was used in the cells Whilst the Activity on the Tipping Table started quite calm it soon took a turn when the table was tilting and spinning around the room and it was obviously by the way the guides hands were placed on the table it was him doing this Pushing very hard on the table to the point where I could see one of the legs of the table bending and looking as if it was about to snap This went on for around 30 minutes all whilst the guide was trying to sing a song to the spirit and shouting and provoking If the activity we got on the tipping table was real and the spirit had as much strength as the guide was making out provoking was definitely the wrong choice here After this we were allowed to explore on our own for a while I was looking forward to this as it would give me a chance to try and gather my own evidence to try and turn the evening into a positive Now whilst I did manage to gather some of my own evidence it was short lived as whatever room me and my group of guests went into the guide followed us with the table Every single time we moved rooms he entered around a minute later continuing the table tipping method with it spinning around It was very hard to gather any evidence and ask the spirit any questions as wherever we went the guide was shouting at the top of his lungs at the spirit

Incredibly disappointing and amateurish

Myself and my boyfriend went to a ghost hunt at Llanchiarch Fawr with this company in November and I can safely say I cannot recommend them in any way I went in with an open mind and took on board what the hosts said about you get back what you put into the night I joined in with using the equipment and asking questions both to the hosts and the spirits but in the end I was frankly insulted with the experience for the extortionate price they charge 50 pp It turned out to be the same exact thing in each room with hosts who knew very little about the history of supposedly one of their favourite venues and even some downright lies One host on the first walk around the house stated she saw a spirit in the corridor and waved but only 5 mins later during the group seance to say that she hoped to see something in the venue for the first time since she was 7 So much of the host s interactions consisted of saying things like that meter is really active or I ve just felt a draft go past me and that was it I was also incredibly disappointed and angry when we spent nearly an hour sitting in the same room with an app linked up to a Bluetooth speaker which played hushed whispers and the occasional decipherable word which was apparently the ghosts communicating with us The hosting was one lady saying did that sound like XX to you and other random interjections She had previously stated that she d seen someone in the next room but didn t make a move to it until I suggested maybe we could go in there to see if we could pick up any stronger readings The last two hosts were incredibly uncharismatic repeatedly just asking the spirits to interact with the EMF reader They also tried to pass off a very clear why are you here as a spirit speaking through through a device despite there being a beep beforehand and the voice being the generic AI voiceover that is doing the rounds on Tiktok Facebook etc The best part was the 10 mins at the end that they allowed us to wander around with their EMF meters The other main tools consisted of light up cat balls Overall for an evening that I had been looking forward to for a quite a while turned out to be an incredibly expensive waste of time As I said I went in with an open mind and not expecting to witness anything I had however expected a more fun interactive and enjoyable experience investigating one of the most haunted houses in Wales Instead I received an amateur and boring few hours that I found insulting for the price complete with incredibly cheap off-brand snacks I plan to contact Llanchiarch Fawr and recommending that they find a much better company that respects the history of the venue

Unfortunately the hosts cancelled the

Unfortunately the hosts cancelled the event last minute because of staff sickness 2 weeks ago and have yet to reply to any of my requests for a refund they haven t even confirmed they have received my request so I would not recommend as they are not a professional company and will make sure I never use them again
