About this Event
Have you ever got a chill down your spine while walking along the coast, heard a disembodied voice or caught a glimpse in the shadows? Did it make you wonder about the thousands of lives lived on the Headland before your own - their names, their stories, their spirits?
Beginning at Sandwell Gate, the Hartlepool Paranormal Investigations team, in collaboration with Hartlepool Borough Council, will lead a guided tour of the historic Headland, exploring local hauntings and the history of the area, culminating in an exclusive look into the world of paranormal investigations at The Victoria Arms. Tell your own stories, get your burning questions answered, or just take it all in! This is the perfect evening out for history buffs, fans of the coast, and believers and sceptics alike!
Brave adults and children are welcome, and the route is accessible to wheelchairs and prams, however the toilets in The Victoria Arms are not. There are accessible toilets at Croft Gardens nearby Sandwell Gate. This is a SEN-friendly experience. Dog are welcome for the guided walk section only.
Wrap up warm because we'll be outdoors for most of the night. Halloween costumes are welcome and encouraged but not required.
