About this
Event Description
- Structured investigation stations through the house — EMF & temperature sweeps, EVP/spirit-box sessions, and a static vigil in the master bedroom.
- No-touch and guide-supervised throughout — every activity is optional, nothing is staged, and no outcome is ever promised.
- Investigation tiers (Premium/VIP) are strictly 18+; Twilight/Family tiers are lighter, non-investigation experiences.
An exclusive private hire of 30 East Drive — the ordinary-looking Pontefract semi at the centre of the 1966–1969 ‘Pontefract Poltergeist’ case, one of the most famous hauntings in Britain.
For three nights we take the house exclusively, displacing the usual rota of promoters, for genuinely small-group investigation in the rooms where the activity was reported.
Your night
- Twilight — an earlier, gentler introduction to the house and its story.
- Standard — a guided investigation with hunting equipment.
- Premium Vigil — extended small-group vigils in the most active areas.
- VIP Witching Hour (16+, 31 Oct only) — everything in Premium, extended late into the night.
Dates & times
Saturday 24, Thursday 29 & Friday 31 October 2026.
Where
30 East Drive, Chequerfield, Pontefract, West Yorkshire. A small private house — numbers are strictly limited.
Good to know
- Age policy varies by tier — check the ticket option you pick. Photo ID may be requested for age-restricted tiers.
- These are genuine historic buildings: expect cold, dark, uneven floors and, at some venues, steep stairs and limited step-free access.
- Bring a torch, warm layers and flat, sensible shoes.
- No physical contact takes place. Every vigil is guide-supervised and every activity is optional.
Before you visit
- Entry & timings: Timed arrival slots from 6:30pm, with registration at St Mary’s Community Centre rather than on East Drive itself.
- Parking & getting there: There is no car park at the house — please park on neighbouring streets such as Chequerfield Road or School Road, never on East Drive, to keep the road and local bus route clear.
- Code of conduct: Under-18s are admitted only with a paying adult on every tier; photo ID may be requested and tier wristbands are issued at registration. This is a no-touch, guide-supervised event — please follow all host instructions. Anyone who is abusive or under the influence of alcohol or drugs may be refused entry or removed without a refund, and latecomers may not be admitted.
