After our ever-popular Pengersick and Castle Horneck Ghost Nights – a new location. This haunted and mysterious building is sure to be as popular as the others! Said to be home to several ghosts and many strange occurrences.
The Paranormal at Pengegon
This is a fantastic opportunity to visit one of the most Paranormally active places we have ever encountered. No other place, we know, produces such unexplained and peculiar activities.
THE INSTITUTION:
Built around 1865; Pengegon Institute was a support building for the Wheal Harriet mine; and its engine house still stands today directly behind the Institute building. Parts of the building have previously been used as a morgue and first aid centre for mining accident victims and the institute also has strong links to the local railway.
The former morgue will be available on the night - DARE YOU SPEND SOME TIME in this atmospheric and forbidding building - from which many have fled?
THE GHOSTS:
Paranormal activity is said to be widespread at The Pengegon Institute with many stories of ‘strange’ occurrences being reported for many years. The Paranormal Research Organisation has carried out an unprecedented 3 investigations here because of their results and what they feel to be genuine evidence of the paranormal.
Previous activity has included people hearing footsteps, voices, whistling, unexplained crashes and bangs, music and horses hooves. People have seen ghostly figures, apparitions, moving shadows, sudden flashes of light and many other peculiar sights. They have also felt as if they have been invisibly touched or pulled and on occasions pushed, objects have been found moving and missing, extreme unexplainable cold has been felt and so many other peculiar things.
A very strange and atmospheric place.
