GHOST FEST has now become a universal brand born on the award winning success of Mary King’s Ghost Fest. 2004 saw the formation of a unique 10 day, city wide ghost festival in Edinburgh organised by the award winning attraction, The Real Mary King’s Close.
Offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore and examine under supervision the truly haunted nature of this extraordinary city, a wide range of exciting events and investigations were organised and supported by a growing number of organisations across the city. Highlights over the years have included a parapsychology experiment with Professor Richard Wiseman, infrasound experiments (a world’s first), talks and workshops with UK Living TV’s Most Haunted’s Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe and Steve Parsons and much much more.
Following this overwhelming success, Ghost Fest has now been launched in Canterbury and Oxford. Working alongside some of the most reknowned paranormal experts, Ghost Fest can keep the most avid of ghost hunters and the most serious of sceptics entertained for hours.
