There are 13 recorded ghosts, and you will be able to investigate without being herded around as the commercial ghost groups do!
We have equipment available to borrow on the night, but we strongly encourage you to bring your own.
The night will start at 8 pm with a guided tour then the rest of the night is yours!
If you are new to this, we have experienced investigators on hand to help and advise, or you can investigate in your own groups if you prefer!

More about Samlesbury Hall
Dating back to 1325, Samlesbury Hall was originally built under the instruction of Gilbert de Southworth as his family seat. A simple structure with a thatched roof, it bore little resemblance to the black and white half-timbered stately home you see today.
Until 1925, Samlesbury Hall had always been a private residence. Four families over seven centuries have owned the Hall. Firstly, the powerful Southworth family from 1325 to 1678, secondly The Bradyll family from 1679 to 1851, the Cooper family from 1851 to 1862 and lastly the Harrison family from 1862 until 1924.
At different times in the past the building has been an inn, a private school, a home for fabric weavers and now a unique tourist attraction which attracts visitors from all over the world.
Samlesbury Hall is reputedly one of the most haunted houses in Great Britain, with 13 different ghosts which haunt the historic manor and the grounds around it.
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there have been many hundreds of reports from guests, staff and former inhabitants of the house which date back centuries. Our ghosts are not a contemporary fabrication, but a genuine heritage of haunting encounters. The first published account of ghosts at Samlesbury Hall dates back to a book written in 1873. Despite its haunting reputation, the atmosphere at Samlesbury Hall is warm and welcoming, and all our ghosts fall into the ‘friendly’ category.
Samlesbury Hall celebrates their haunted heritage and take their ghosts seriously. Since 2023 they've run an on-going research project called The Samlesbury Hall Ghost Project. The project records witness testimonies, historic encounters and data from other sources and allows us to accurately record and document our supernatural heritage
