Book Now

Ghost Fest at Newcastle Castle is set to return! Following a successful launch night, an extra evening has been added on Saturday, 12th October and we’re expecting another night of frights! This is guaranteed to be an unforgettable evening that will unnerve even the bravest of ghost hunters.

Ghost Fest: The Return will begin in the Great Hall of the Castle Keep with a special screening of Carnival of Souls (1962). The horror film tells the chilling the story of a young woman who ends up the sole survivor of a fatal car accident through mysterious circumstances. Trying to put the incident behind her, she moves to Utah and takes a job as a church organist. But her fresh start is interrupted by visions of a fiendish man.

Then as it begins to get dark, ticket holders are split into smaller groups for a 4-hour long paranormal investigation of the Castle Keep guided by Spiritus Paranormal. With years of experience and having conducted more than a hundred paranormal investigations, the Spiritus Paranormal team will allow guests a chance to use the equipment and personally take part in the investigation.

Please note:

This event takes place in the Great Hall of Newcastle Castle Keep which is unfortunately inaccessible to wheelchair users. Doors will open at approximately 6pm, with the film starting at 6.30pm.
