The Investigation will begin at 8pm - Here is what you can expect from the evening:

- You will have access to our paranormal equipment.
- You will have the opportunity to investigate on your own and/or take part in lone vigils.
- There will be a scheduled break where drinks and snacks will be provided.
- We only want you to experience genuine paranormal activity - therefore we will always try to find logical explanations for what we are experiencing, only when something is unexplainable will we say it may be paranormal.
As you may know, the paranormal can be unpredictable. We are unable to guarantee that the spirits will want to interact with us on the evening, but we are also aware that sometimes when they do interact it can be frightening for some - If you need any help or assistance during or after the event, we will always be on hand to help anyway we can, so please don't be afraid to reach out!

About The Skirrid Inn
First mentioned on record in 1110, the historic Skirrid Inn is now over 900 years old and claims to be the oldest pub in Great Britain.
Legend has it that the inn was used as a rallying point for local supporters of the Welsh Revolt against the rule of Henry IV, the uprising being led by Owain Glyndŵr. It is also believed that the first floor of the inn was once used as a Court of Law and over the period of a great many years, as many as 180 prisoners were adjudged guilty of crimes serious enough to warrant the sentence of death by hanging, a sentence that was carried out at the inn itself. There is a beam in the Skirrid Inn which still bears the rope marks of the hangings carried out here. The 17th century ‘hanging judge’, George Jeffreys, is rumoured to still stalk the upper floors of the inn as well as a friendly spirit that is said to be Victorian landlady Fanny Price, who died aged 35 and is buried in St Michael’s churchyard, close to the inn.
In the past the team has experienced all kinds of paranormal phenomena, spirits have often interacted during activities and have used our equipment, as well guests hearing unexplained footsteps/sounds, seeing apparitions and the feeling of being touched.
