👻 Ghost Hunt & Buffet, May 2025 - Hemel Hempstead
Saturday 17 May 2025
Time: 20:00 - 01:00 Price: £37.00
TIMES
▪️Arrival time: 8 pm and we hope to get ▪️Investigation by: 9.15 pm.
▪️Finishing time, around: 1 am.
📖 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.
⭐️Crispy Chicken Fries
⭐️Tempura prawns
