👻 Ghost Hunt & Buffet, May 2025 - Hemel Hempstead
Saturday 17 May 2025
Time: 20:00 - 01:00 Price: £37.00
TIMES
▪️Arrival time: 8.00pm
▪️Investigation by: 9.15 pm
▪️Finishing time, around: 1.00am
📖 HISTORY
The building that we know today as The Harvester, in Hemel Hempstead, started it’s life as a posting house, according to census records dating back to 1851. These would be houses or, in this case an inn, where horses were kept that could be rented out. They would be used as post offices are today, to distribute the mail. Back in 1861 it was known as The Railway Hotel and had provisions to stable 7 horse. Between 1855 and 1912, the census records show us that it was run by various generations of the Dunning family.
👻 OUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
We were invited here for an investigation, after some of the current staff had experienced strange goings on within the building, the most frequent one being the hand dryer in the ladies toilets turning itself on late at night when the restaurant was being locked up. There was also a recording of someone, in the carpark, walking about and then disappearing, on the cctv footage. Our last investigation proved the building to be very active with lots of emf meters going off, ouija board work and seeing someone’s hair being tugged!
😋 FOOD & DRINK
Tickets for this event will include a buffet supper and the price of that is included in the price. All you pay for on the night are drinks behind the bar.

Casting lines and building connections: ‘For Men To Talk and Fish’ in 2025 In 2025, ‘For Men To Talk’ will continue their popular ‘For Men To Talk and Fish’ meetings at Manor Farm Lakes in Lower Caldecote. These sessions are more than just fishing—they’re a lifeline...
🎣 The Mental Health Benefits of Fishing
Fishing is more than just a hobby. It helps men step away from their busy lives and relax. The slow, steady process of fishing—casting a line, waiting, and focusing on the water—can be very calming. It helps lower stress and gives men time to clear their minds.
Spending time outdoors is also important for mental health. Being in nature can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost overall well-being. Fishing provides a chance to breathe fresh air, enjoy quiet moments, and feel a sense of achievement.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
A fully qualified facilitator and level 2 angling coach with over 30 years of angling experience. They will also provide fishing tackle, bait, etc. Please note that a rod licence to fish will be provided.
🎟 TICKET PRICE - £5
‘For Men To Talk’ ask for a non-refundable contribution amount of £5 per meeting.
Required attendees: 8 men. Tickets can be booked via the event link.
