The ghost hunt announced below actually took place on Sept 30. I share the news because you've got a phone number for the NPIT, who go on several ghost hunts, and because Sacrewell Farm will have "fright nights" from October 23-30 to celebrate Halloween.
From The Evening Telegraph: Peterborough: Ghost Hunt: Chills at Sacrewell Farm
DARE you explore Sacrewell Farm’s 18th-century haunted watermill in the middle of the night?
Intrepid explorers can join the Northamptonshire Paranormal Investigation Team (NPIT) at the farm, near Peterborough, tonight.
The NPIT is well-known for its popular ghost hunts, which are held all over the country.
Each of the investigators are psychics, and their use of state-of- the-art equipment adds to a very intriguing night.
The ghost hunt will begin at 10pm and continue through until 2am. Tickets are £10 each, available from the head investigator Dennis Binks on 01536 460097.
And this Halloween, there will be something spooky going on down at the farm.
Strange creatures will stir, witches begin to stoke their cauldron and giant spiders start to spin their webs.
Back by popular demand, Sacrewell Farm’s spooky fright nights offer an unmissable, spine-tingling experience.
There are limited spaces available for fright nights (October 23 to 30) and pre-booking is essential.
Tickets are £5.50 from 01780 782254.
Sacrewell Farm’s new craft and gift fair also launches tomorrow.
Visitors can choose from a wonderful selection of gifts and goodies, including hand-made jewellery and bespoke presents. The barn doors open at 10am and it’s free entry to the fair.
Normal farm admission prices apply.

Calendar, 26 OCtober at Niagra Falls: Local Ghost Hunter Offers Lecture on Hauntings at Niagara Wheatfield
From Niagara Falls, WGRZ.com: Local Ghost Hunter Offers Lecture on Hauntings at Niagara Wheatfield
Have you ever wondered what goes bump in the night? Locally renowned ghost hunter Steven Richards did after an encounter at the Town Hall in Niagara where he is supervisor. “I was at the town hall late at night and I heard voices and footsteps. I went to explore and no one was there.” After learning that other people he worked with had experienced the same thing he and some friends stayed overnight to see if anything would happen. At 5:00AM all the candles blew out simultaneously and the amateur ghost hunters ran out the door. But the experienced peaked his curiosity and it wasn’t long before he and two other ghost hunter enthusiasts, James Kramp and Diane Tallarico, joined forces to create the Dark Starr Paranormal Research Society. “Since then it has exploded,” he says. “We spend a lot of time exploring odd and creepy places. The most fascinating thing I have ever experienced was being pulled on while on a ghost hunt and nearly knocked over. Also there have been a lot of EVP’s that we have picked up.” EVP’s are Electronic Voice Phenomenon and he had his partners have picked up many of them at local sites like the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club, Iron island Museum and the Pharaoh’s Night Club.
He will be speaking about his experiences and showing off his ghost hunting equipment at a lecture for the Niagara Wheatfield Adult Education program on October 26th from 6:30-8:30PM at the Niagara Wheatfield High School. “At the lecture people can expect three things: number one to see all the equipment we have and they get a hands-on demonstration of it. Number two, they get to see and hear all the evidence we have collected and number three, they get a chance to share an experience they had concerning the paranormal with the group which seems to be a great way for people to open up.” People who attend the workshop will also have a chance to sign up for a once in a lifetime guided field trip with Steven. “Our field trips will consist of taking a large group of people and breaking them into smaller groups where one of our instructors will take each smaller group on a real ghost hunt to a place where we have already been and know is haunted.”
The lecture fills up quickly, so anyone interested in hearing Steven should go to the Niagara Wheatfield website www.nwcsd.k12.ny.us under Adult Education or call the Adult Education Office at 215-3109.

Reminder - Oct 23 and 31 in England at Beaulieu Abbey
From Easier.com: Join the hunt for ghosts & ghouls at Beaulieu Abbey
On the 22nd and 31st October this year, join the Hampshire Ghost Club as they embark on a paranormal investigation at the historic 13th century Beaulieu Abbey, the site of many spooky spectre sightings.
Beaulieu Abbey was founded in 1204, when King John gave a gift of land to the Cistercian monks to found a monastery. The largest Cistercian Abbey in England, Beaulieu thrived for over 300 years until it was destroyed in the 1530s at the time of the dissolution of the Monasteries.
The strange stories and legends surrounding Beaulieu Abbey have captured the imaginations of people from all walks of life, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who had a great interest in psychic research and made many visits to Beaulieu in search of the unexplainable. To this day, both staff and visitors to Beaulieu report glimpsing ghosts of the Abbey’s former inhabitants, as well as sounds and smells from eras past.
Now, the Hampshire Ghost Club are inviting members of the public to join them on a ghost hunt, investigating some of the most haunted areas of Beaulieu’s ancient Abbey.
The paranormal sessions will be taking place on two nights around Halloween, beginning at 9pm and continuing through to 1pm. Activities will include vigils and investigations, using professional equipment, in the Abbey’s Domus building, which was formerly the Lay Brothers’ Dormitory. Investigations will also take place in the Abbey ruins and Cloisters. Ticket prices are £50 per person, including hot drink refreshments, and are available to people aged 18+. Pre-booking for these sessions is essential, and you can reserve your place by telephoning 01590 612888.*

Reminder about UK event on Oct 8
From Keighley News, UK: Hunt is on for ghostly girl
Ghostbusters hope to discover the truth about a girl who allegedly haunts a Haworth club.
The Pennine Paranormal Society will visit Parkside Social Club to find traces of the spectral child.
People can join experts Si Booth and Chris Whitehouse for the night-time investigation.
Proceeds of the event, on Saturday, October 8, event will support Not Over The Hill Yet (NOTHY), an “over 50s youth club” based at Parkside.
NOTHY founders Shona and Geoff Grange told the Keighley News last year about the haunting at the Butt Lane building.
Ghosthunter Malcolm Hanson looked into sightings of a girl believed to be in Victorian clothing.
Mr Booth believes the clothing may be more modern and the girl could be an evacuee sent to Haworth during the 1940s.
He said: “Hopefully from research and from the evening itself more details will come forward. The club itself has had many reports of footsteps being heard in empty rooms, also cold spots and the apparition of the girl herself.”
Mr Booth, who runs the Pennine Paranormal Society, will make a visit to Parkside on September 23 with Mr Whitehouse, who runs Otherworld Investigations UK.
They will return for the all-night vigil on October 8 for what they are calling A Night Of Paranormal Investigation And Ghost Hunting.
Limited tickets for the event, which will run from 10pm until the early hours, cost £30 including refreshments through the night.
They are available from pennineparanormal.co.uk or the Parkside Social Club.
Mr Booth said anyone with information about the haunting could contact him through the website.
Mr Booth said the Para-normal Society had recently been involved in a documentary for Belgium TV.
He said: “We have further events planned at the West Riding in Leeds and Bar Place in Hebden Bridge.
“We have also been involved in a number of private house investigations where people have had problem hauntings or just wanted to find out more about the activity going on in their homes.”
Reminder - Oct 14 and 15 in Milford, DE
From Milford Beacon: Paranormal team invites public to investigate Parson Thorne Mansion
Milford, Del. — For those who have ever wondered if the Parson Thorne Mansion on Front Street in Milford is haunted, Delmarva Historic Haunts plans to find out.
The Milford-based paranormal group will host a public ghost hunt at the mansion from 7 to 11 p.m., Friday, Oct. 14 and Saturday, Oct. 15.
Milford resident Rick Coherd, lead investigator and founder of Delmarva Historic Haunts, formed the group seven months ago after branching off from the Delaware Ghost Hunters, a group that investigates historic sites like Fort Delaware, Bellevue Hall Mansion and Fort Mifflin, as well as local homes.
Coherd said DHH focuses on helping local historic sites, like the Milford Historical Society’s Parson Thorne Mansion, raise funds in order to continue educating the public.
“I’m a historian first,” he said. “If we can help these places keep history alive for the people and for our kids to enjoy, what’s wrong with a little ghost hunting?”
Coherd, a longtime guide at Fort Delaware, said he’s experienced his share of paranormal activity in the fort and is a definite believer in the supernatural.
“Life is complicated and sometimes death is, too,” he said. “If you’ve heard all the things I’ve heard or seen all the things I’ve seen, there’d be no doubt there’s something going on.”
Coherd said his group, made up of 11 members, will not investigate houses less than 100 years old. His investigators will often spend the night in homes, looking to debunk claims or find something eerie.
“What we do is try to find out if anything at all is actually going on,” he said. “There’s no show. We’re either watching corn grow in the dark or it’s something phenomenal.”
The group recently investigated the Parson Thorne Mansion and did come across some activity using electro magnetic field detectors and DVR system, Coherd said. Activity has included hearing footsteps up the stairs and even catching what could be a shadowy figure near the graveyard.
“Parson Thorne is supposed to be walking around the grounds and the house,” he said. “I’m chomping at the bit to see the footage we caught. Even if it’s some guy with a beer can, we’ll post it. Sometimes you’ll end up debunking rumors.”
Coherd said the public ghost hunt in October will include a one-on-one class at the local library before the two-hour investigation. The public will be divided into three groups of 10 and explore different spots of the property using the group’s equipment.
“Often times, people want to be apart of the investigation,” he said. “This is a great way of doing that.”
Coherd said those interested but aren’t able to make this hunt will have another opportunity when DHH teams with the Lewes Historical Society to explore Shipbuilders Square each during the last two weekends of October. The group will offer two separate sessions, which will run from 7 to 10 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., Friday and Saturday nights.
“These historical societies need our help,” he said. “This is our way of giving back. We’re here to help the community have a good time around Halloween, so let’s have some fun and do it.”
