Harrogate Ghost Walk — Attraction in England

Crown Hotel ghost hunting experience.

This review isn't for the believers, there's nothing I could say that add to the whole experience. This is for the open minded sceptics. I am the latter.

Firstly, it was an incredible night even without "evidence" the atmosphere alone will have you smiling throughout.

I was lucky enough to be in Paul's group and not only is he an incredible host and story teller, he is more than happy to debunk anything and everything before the spookiness of it all gets too much! Electric wires are checked and equipment malfunctions are checked.

Nothing is guaranteed on the tour, that was made clear and indeed, in one room nothing did happen, apart from maybe getting creeper out by a "cute" bear.

However, a few things did happen that in the cold light of day is still hard to figure out, from questions answered via a rem pod through to scratching feelings and being "touched" on my shoulders (an orb floating by my shoulder at the time I shivered, bearing in mind it was a dustless room).

All in all I'd say I'm not a hard believer now, but I am edging a little closer since last night.

Could not recommend more, go and see, experience and use the equipment yourself. I doubt you'll be...

I joined the Haunted Harrogate Ghost Tour (Route C) led by Paul Forster, author of Haunted Harrogate, and it was an exceptional experience. Paul blends meticulous research with engaging storytelling, offering a perfect balance between British history, architectural beauty, and the ghostly accounts that make Harrogate truly fascinating.

These are not mere legends — they are stories gathered from real witnesses who once shared their experiences with him, combined with his own investigations into documented sightings from the Victorian era, the 1920s, and wartime Harrogate. Along the way, he highlights stunning buildings and explains the history and design behind them, helping you appreciate the town in a deeper, more meaningful way.

It was an unforgettable evening — intelligent, entertaining, and suitable for all ages. I can’t wait to explore Routes A and B and continue reading Haunted Harrogate. Both the tour and the book are absolute musts for anyone who loves history, architecture, and a touch of the...

Today, my partner and I embarked on Tour B of the Harrogate Ghost Tour, guided by the charismatic Paul. Lasting about 1.5 hours, the tour was a delightful mix of local history and chilling ghost stories, with each location offering multiple intriguing accounts.

Paul’s storytelling prowess is truly commendable; his engaging and enthusiastic narration brought the tales to life, making the experience both entertaining and eerie. It's clear he has poured a lot of time and effort into curating these stories, and his passion for the subject is infectious.

Despite being non-believers, my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The real surprise came when my partner experienced something that has her questioning her skepticism—a testament to the compelling nature of the tour.

Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, Paul’s ghost tour is a fantastic way to spend an evening in Harrogate. Highly recommended for a memorable and...
