Northumberland Haunted Museum announces month-long Halloween programme
Northumberland Haunted Museum has announced a month-long programme of Halloween events.
Founded by paranormal investigator, Michele Marie Liddle, the museum launched in Amble in July as a community interest company (CIC), focusing on the eerie past of Northumberland, keeping historic folklore alive and displaying haunted artefacts.
Since opening, the museum has welcomed over 4000 day time visitors, paranormal teams each weekend and sold-out many events and ghost walks.
Built around the old belief that the veil between the living and the dead grows thinnest around Halloween, their October programme spans family activities, hands-on workshops and after-hours investigations, and includes the museum's own book launch.
Highlights include The Book of the Dead, a tradition inviting visitors to ask the dead a single question, the Amble Ghost Hunt, a half-term trail for children and families and the Sealed Box Experiment, testing visitors' intuition ahead of a Halloween night reveal.
Founder, Michele said: “Every haunting has a heartbeat.
"Halloween is when that feels closest to the surface, and we wanted a programme that lets people explore that for themselves, whether they come as sceptics or believers.”
Other events as part of the Halloween programme include the launch of Northumberland Haunted Museum’s own book, telling the story of the museum and its artefact collection, as well as tea leaf reading, pendulum readings and candle making.
Full dates, times and ticket prices for each event will be published on tickettailor.com/events/northumberlandhauntedmuseum.
Daytime museum entry remains free throughout October, with the Halloween programme running as a mix of drop-in activities and ticketed evening events.
