I really needed to leave a review for this company! I called today after being in bed for 5 days with the flu and explained I was really unsure I’d manage to make my booking for tomorrow evening. The company clearly states they don’t offer refunds or ticket exchanges as point of sale but I asked if I could move my date. The lovely lady on the phone was beyond helpful, she managed to organise my place to be filled with a waiting list person, rang me and said we’ve credited your account and when you’re better come and book back on! She had to mess about and go out of her way for me and to me that’s fantastic customer service and I just wanted to let everyone know what a great company this is. Thanks for this Haunted Happenings I’ll definitely be booking once well!

Really good staff and location at Shrewsbury Prison. Definitely loved the glass on the table and all of our group were shocked by the amount of interaction we were getting. We did end up leaving early because we’d had a 5 hour drive to get there and it was already 130 am, but there was over an hours break where you were left to your own devices. The only thing is as people were moving around in their groups you’d often get interrupted or frankly couldn’t get enough quiet to hear anything. Think a shorter period of time in between would have been good as alot of people were using the free time not to connect to any spirits or anything at all but to mess around, which really does impact those who are there for not only fun but to maybe connect with any spirits in the building. Adding onto this even the time where staff were guiding you was filled with noise and shouting. I’m unsure wether we just had a particularly bad group but it was very frustrating asking questions out loud listening for noises and people would be making crass comments or shouting something obscure. This was prominent across the whole night and really was the over arching theme of our experience sadly. We feel the staff could maybe see this behaviour and not say anything, and no of course don’t tell people off or anything but it was obvious that half of those there were just wanting to take the piss and the other half had had their night tainted.

Great night at Sulgrave manor. Our team lead Mel was fantastic, a really good time. Highly recommend. We’ve used other companies like this before; and Haunted Happenings are by far the best. My one suggestion is to check the group size of a haunting. The smaller the better!

Been to a fair few paranormal investigations now. I have to say Haunted Happenings keeps going down hill. The whole night was really poorly organised. The hosts as people were great, but didn’t make a good team for the venue. Contradicting themselves with the history of the venue and just talking or walking around. We kept getting interrupted, one ending a session when we’d just said we were getting someone, only to make us pack up, tell us we had free time and then walk off! We realised after a few minutes they weren’t coming back! Most weren’t very good at drumming up the energy, seemed like it was too much hassle. Could have done with some more watch and wait with less talking. Definitely prefer lesser known companies where the evening is more personal. This feels like a money making exercice. Unfortunately just too much to do, with too many people in not enough time. On a positive note, Shaun was really good. His knowledge of the venue was excellent, he was funny and attentive. I think if the groups were more personal, we could have had a really great evening.

Just done a ghost hunt in Oxford Caste. Absolutely nothing happened which isn't the fault of the team. However not once did we sit in a room with the lights out in silence trying to communicate with the spirits or hold a seance. They just split us up in teams and pressured us into using ouji boards that none of the group were comfortable doing as it wasn't open and closed properly. Then we were told to do table tipping. After that we were left to our own devices to explore. I don't quite know what I paid for other than access to a building late at night. The guide at the castle was absolutely fantastic and very informative. But we hadn't paid for a historical tour of the castle, we came to hunt ghosts!

Absolute waste of money. We were rushed about, the organisers were rude, told us to laugh and have fun but then we were pulled up if we laughed. Nothing happened but a complete unorganised event. I thought a book was on its side so went to put it upright on the shelf and got a right roasting! Never again. Save your money and go with a different company.

Had a great night on my first ghost hunt at Strelley Hall, plenty of places to explore and the staff were marginally great and Michael was very knowledgeable of the building. I feel however despite a good night, it felt a bit rushed, certain members of staff seemed a bit time constrained and may have misconceptually came across as rude which would not have been their intentions. This could be because to me the group was too large, there were noisier partakers on this night which did ruin the essence when walking around in free time, but I appreciate that the staff want everyone to experience as much as possible on the evening. Still, it was a highly enjoyable night and look forward to further ghost hunts in the future!
