‘Feel Good’ Fundraising - Spooky Slumber Party

I’ve never had a paranormal encounter but I want to think there is ‘something’ out there in the in-between...spooky.

Around Halloween I found a team of ghostbusters and a dog on GoFundMe, bravely entering one of the most haunted houses in Oxfordshire, to raise money for Citizen’s Advice North Oxfordshire.

I was dying to know whether the team had been haunted, but couldn’t find a follow-up article. I knew you’d all want to know too, so I reached out and asked a few questions:

Did anybody experience any paranormal activity?

“The medium who was present did, he used apps on his phone and he described some spirits to the rest of the party.

Other members of the team who work there have previously had encounters of the strange kind, and there were occasional creaks and bangs on the night.

The dog was excitable, but he had only just been re-united with his owner who had been on holiday.”

What was the actual experience of sleeping in the house like? 

“The building is a Well-Being Clinic, with heat, water and power.

The sleeping arrangements were sleeping bags on the floor and we had all sorts of provisions with us including wine and beer.”

Once you’ve got over the excitement of the haunted house, you are just sat in a house together. How did you fill your time?

“There were team-building exercises, people had their electronical devices with them, as well as lots of playing with the dog.”

Short and sweet there from Steve and the team, but what an experience!
