Lumley Castle is reputed to be one of the most haunted Castles in the UK, however we seek to disagree.

Our amazing ghost hunting tours continue to be popular even if we can’t always explain some strange things that go on. Which is why we need you to help us.

We’re looking for people to join us who may have unconventional beliefs! The night is hosted by the Castles Historic Chamberlain who’s been providing Castle tours for 30 years.

We also use state of the art ghost hunting electronics to further disprove claims of the things that may go bump in the night.
