Coming face-to-face with the supernatural may scare some, but – thanks to massive movie hits such as E.T and Casper to Ghostbusters – our fascination with getting up close and personal with paranormal activity has never waned.
Which is why for those out there who fancy their chances at confronting a ghost (a la Bill Murray style), you need to look into joining the Dover Castle Ghost Hunt.
According to their website, the ghost of a little drummer boy is thought to haunt the grounds. And the shadowy apparition of a woman in a crimson dress apparently roams the historic venue (scared, yet?).

From séances in small groups, experiments involving glass divination and using actual ghost hunting equipment, the one-day event at one of England’s most famous castles involves many a ghost fanatic’s dream scenario.
And they need you to join them for an extra-special event.
The remake of the 80s classic Ghostbusters in 2016 starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon may have had many misogynists amongst us muttering – but we reckon being a bonafide ghostbuster would be a serious kick-ass job.
Who knows, maybe you’ll meet a handsome ghost in the form of Patrick Swayze...
Dover Castle Ghost Hunt will start from 9pm – 3am on Saturday 19 August at Dover Castle, Kent. Tickets are priced at £85 per person and are available to buy online. The event is unfortunately not suitable for people with mobility issues or walking difficulties.
