The history of the Most Haunted Museum in England begins before the turn of the last century, a time of adventure and exploration
that sent British adventurers into the far-flung regions of the world and to little known and haunted places within the borders
of their own countries. This was the Golden Age of Adventure as explorers began to try and decide if the stories they heard
were in fact true!
Legendary cities were discovered and reckless adventurers scoured the furthest corners of the planet, returning from their
exploits with incredible tales that stirred the imagination and sparked wild interest in the supernatural among those who
had never heard of such things before. This then began to attract thrill-seekers and those in search of forbidden and esoteric
knowledge.
Books were written by those who sought out ghosts and hauntings, contact with the dead, and the lure of exotic and dangerous
places. The written word spurred even more interest in the unknown and soon, occult groups were formed to practice séances
and spirit circles.
In time, stories, photographs and strange objects began to come from these investigations. Many of the objects claimed
to have supernatural influences connected to them, which made then unsafe in the homes of the unwitting collectors who had
acquired them. Over the years, many of these objects have become a part of the collection of the Most Haunted Museum in England
and some of our exhibits have been built around them to keep these objects safely stored away. They can be studied, learned
from, and displayed -- but we keep visitors free from the dangers associated with them.
With a history dating back to before the turn of the century, the Most Haunted Museum in England is a place of learning
-- a true guide to the history of the Supernatural. With rare books, photographs, collections of unique and haunted antiques,
and magical exhibits, we offer a glimpse into an important (and sadly forgotten) world of yesterday, when ghost research was
just beginning and the occult was a part of everyday life!
We want everyone to enjoy as much as possible within the museum. We have a "Welcome All" policy and we look forward to welcoming
guests who have a disability, together with their necessary companion. Please click here to read our disability access policy.
