Ghost hunt at Abington Park Museum - October 18th 2025

The village of Abington first shivered into written memory within the ancient Domesday Book. But parchment cannot hold the secrets that seep through its stones.

Whispers tell of William Shakespeare’s own hand lingering here—his private writings, concealed in shadows, waiting for discovery. Yet beware… treasures buried in silence are often guarded by restless souls.

For centuries, the Bernard family held dominion over these grounds, their bloodline entwined with the earth until 1840, when the estate was surrendered to Mr. Lewis Lloyd. He transformed it into a house of madness—an asylum whose walls still echo with the screams of the forsaken.

Decades later, in 1982, a secret passage was unearthed, leading from St. Peter & Paul’s Church into the very heart of the museum. It is said that monks and priests once crept along its hidden path, fleeing persecution, their prayers curdled into whispers that still ride the draughts of the corridor.

The air within is thick with hauntings. A woman, pale and broken, drifts eternally through these chambers. Two centuries ago, she ended her life within the East Range, and now her sorrow stains every stone. She gazes from attic windows, lingers in the sanitation room, and trails the unwary with her scent of roses—sweet as the grave.

Screams slice through the night without source or mercy. In the East Range, heavy bangs reverberate as though unseen hands drag chains across the floor. The staircases groan beneath phantom weight, and shadow-figures coil in the corners of candlelight. The living have heard footsteps approach when none are near… voices call from the dark… and icy breaths coil at their necks.

This night, we step willingly into their domain. You are invited to join us, if courage permits, as we wander the haunted heart of Abington.

Gather at 7:30 in the evening. Our vigil will end at 1:00 in the morning—should we survive until then.
