DARK DEPARTURES - PARANORMAL HOLIDAYS

Prepare for an exhilarating 10-night adventure as we dive into the spine-tingling paranormal mysteries of the U.K.! From September 1st to September 11th, 2025, get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with ghostly encounters and thrilling explorations.

Our journey begins in the vibrant heart of London! We will marvel at iconic landmarks such as St. Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the notoriously haunted Tower of London where you'll see the Crown Jewels. Next, we'll embark on a private Jack the Ripper tour, walking in the footsteps of this notorius serial killer through the streets of Whitechapel. Enjoy a stroll through one of the most beautiful—and famously eerie—cemeteries in the world with a private tour of Highgate Cemetery, rumored to be the lair of the Highgate Vampire. Indulge in a shopping spree at Camden Market and experience London from the water as we relax on a Thames River cruise before grabbing a bite to eat.

But that’s just the beginning! We will stay at the haunted White Swan Inn, where history and mystery intertwine. This historic inn once served as a courthouse, and the grounds were home to the gallows where 18 hangings took place. Here, we will investigate countless claims of paranormal activity, including objects moving on their own, phantom footsteps, slamming doors, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures lurking in the old holding cells.

Spend a day exploring one of the most magnificent castles in England, steeped in mystery and haunted by centuries of dark history. Warwick Castle, with its stunning architecture and grounds, may appear royally enchanting at first glance, but beneath its beauty lies a sinister past. This is the very castle where the world’s most notorious occultist, Alistair Crowley, once summoned spirits through chilling séances with the countess of Warwick, drawing forth the ancient energies that pulse within its walls. Whispers of bloody battles fought for power and supremacy linger in the air, and full-bodied apparitions may just be following your every move through the its regal hallways. Warwick Castle’s history is a tapestry woven with curses, mystical creatures, and tales of unspeakable torture—each corner of the castle holds a story waiting to be uncovered. So, as you explore this breathtaking fortress, keep your senses sharp; you may just encounter the restless spirits that have long called this castle their home.

Next, we will visit an ancient stone circle steeped in tales of magick and witches. We’ll even create a little magick of our own by participating in a cleansing and blessing ritual. Have a cocktail at the original Hill House - the inspiration for the horror movie 'The Haunting'. Step back in time as we take a ghost tour through an enchanting medieval village, visit the oldest Saxon church, explore a historic moated house, pay a visit to the birthplace of the legendary William Shakespeare, and enjoy breakfast in a 13th-century ice cream shop known to have several ghostly residents - these are just a few of the stops on this paranormal holiday tour.

The adventure continues! Feeling brave? Spend the night at the Skirrid Mountain Inn, the oldest inn in Wales, where we will dine and then investigate throughout the night. Over 180 hangings took place on this property, and the spirits are always eager to chat. Hold on to your ghost-hunting gear as we explore the mysteries of a castle that once served as a TB hospital and is currently home to more than 15 ghosts! Explore castle ruins, visit the world's first book town Hay-On-Wye, and stroll through the grounds of a long-forgotten welsh abbey in the heart of Wales.

The investigations don’t stop there; we'll be locked down in one of the U.K.'s oldest jails, spending the night in Shepton Mallet Prison, where countless restless spirits linger. This place is not meant for the faint of heart. Cell doors slam shut without warning, the heavy footsteps of long-gone guards reverberate through the dark cellblocks, and shadowy figures dart between the doorways, watching with unseen eyes. Will you last the night?

Experience the magic of Stonehenge! Unleash your inner adventurer on a mesmerizing trip to Stonehenge, this iconic prehistoric monument has long been considered sacred ground. Step into a world of witchcraft in the charming town of Glastonbury. Known for its rich history and vibrant energy, Glastonbury is a haven for those drawn to the mystical and the occult. Wander through a delightful array of witchcraft and occult shops, each offering a unique blend of enchanted artifacts, mystical books, and spiritual tools.

This thrilling escapade is packed with myths, legends, and hauntings galore! Your adventure includes cozy accommodations, comfortable minibus travel, unforgettable investigations, and so much more exciting fun! Are you ready to uncover the supernatural secrets of the U.K.?
