spooky summer with supernatural events
1st July 2009
HAVE A SPOOKY SUMMER WITH SUPERNATURAL EVENTS!
Blackpool’s award-winning Supernatural Events is presenting ghost tours at some of the town’s best known haunted hot-spots this summer!
The Grand Theatre is the spiritual home of Supernatural Events and a favourite for ghost hunters galore! There are two overnight investigations being held on Saturday 18th July and Saturday 1st August, when you can find out for yourself what happens when the show is over, the cast have gone home and the doors are shut tight!
The eerie investigations continue at Blackpool’s North Pier Theatre on Monday 6th July, Monday 10th August and Sunday 13th September. Dare you walk to the end of the pier and see what goes on in the darkened theatre auditorium?
Supernatural Events returns to Blackpool’s Winter Garden complex with ghost tours at two separate locations this summer: Blackpool Opera House on Tuesday 21st July and Monday 28th September and The Spanish Hall Suite on Monday 17th August. Both locations have had reports of paranormal phenomena and are sure to sell out quickly!
One of the most recent additions to the ghostly tour locations is Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks and you can visit this attraction on Wednesday 9th September and see which figures are waxworks or ghosts! Will you scream in the Chamber of Horrors?
There are also two ghost tours at Blackpool Zoo on Wednesday 15th July and Wednesday 16th September, and for those who want to spend the night at the site of Blackpool’s original municipal airport, there is a very special Overnight Ghost Walk on Friday 21st August led by the star of LivingTV’s Living with the Dead and former co-presenter on Most Haunted, psychic medium Ian Lawman. Ian will carry out experiments and investigations with those in attendance as well as give those who attend an opportunity to take part in psychic workshops!
Supernatural Events are taking to the road again this summer with a Ghost Coach Trip to Derby; the “dead centre” of England. First stop will be Derby Jail, owned by paranormal historian and presenter Richard Felix of Most Haunted fame, for a tour of the haunted cells before being taken on a ghost walk around the Friargate area of the city to hear tales of murder, mystery and ghosts, including a visit to two of the Derby’s most haunted pubs. The final stop on the tour is at Mr Grundy’s Tavern for supper and an investigation in the cellars and bedrooms of the Georgian House Hotel.

NOTES TO EDITORS:
Blackpool-based Supernatural Events presents amazing experiences including paranormal tours and investigations, clairvoyant evenings, talks and other special events. Originally set up on Hallowe'en 2006 by Grand Theatre marketing manager Stephen Mercer for a one-off Ghost Tour at Blackpool's glorious Grand, the tours became so popular that Supernatural Events continued to provide tours there for another year; then more locations were added to its portfolio including Blackpool Opera House, the Winter Gardens complex, Blackpool Zoo, North Pier Theatre, Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks, Blackpool Illuminations Depot, Lowther Pavilion, Lytham, and Pleasure Beach Blackpool.
In March 2009 Supernatural Events was awarded the Blackpool Tourism Business in Excellence Award for Marketing and Innovation.
The company has also presented many special events including the exclusive An Audience with Derek Acorah, What is a Ghost? with Richard Felix of Most Haunted fame, Clairvoyant Evenings, Hallowe'en on Pendle Hill, Coach Trips to Derby Gaol, Lancaster Castle and Samlesbury Hall, and Overnight Ghost Walks with psychic medium Ian Lawman of television’s Living With The Dead, Most Haunted and I’m Famous and Frightened.
