Gressenhall Hall and Workhouse Premium Event
Dare to step into the darkness of Gressenhall Workhouse?
Built in 1777 as the Mitford & Launditch Union House of Industry, this historic site holds centuries of human suffering within its walls. Once home to the forgotten, the poor, and the desperate, life here was brutally harsh. Families were separated, children were punished for the smallest misdeeds, and men and women toiled endlessly for the bare essentials of survival.
Join our team for a full, all-night paranormal investigation of one of Norfolk’s most atmospheric and historically intense locations. From the eerie Schoolhouse to the heavy, oppressive energy of the infamous Laundry, you’ll be on the front line of uncovering what lingers in the shadows.

👁️ REAL HISTORY. REAL STORIES. REAL FEAR.
For over 170 years, Gressenhall Workhouse housed thousands under grim Victorian conditions. Its punishment cell—a small, airless stone chamber—confined rule-breakers for days at a time.
One inmate, a 12-year-old girl named Harriet Kettle, was notoriously punished after accusations of rebellion and arson. Some visitors believe her spirit still roams the corridors in search of forgiveness.
Previous investigations have reported:
• unexplained cries and footsteps
• whispering voices
• sudden cold spots
• shadowy figures moving through the Laundry and Dormitories
• the sensation of being touched when no one is near
🔦 ON THE NIGHT
Join the Ghostly Revelations team as we unlock the secrets of this remarkable location together.
You will:
• take part in vigil sessions
• use professional-grade equipment
• attempt communication experiments
• explore active areas in small groups
• try optional solo challenges (if you dare!)
Walk through the Punishment Cell, where many report overwhelming dread. Step inside the old Infirmary once described as “dreary, comfortless, and overcrowded.” Wander the segregated wards where echoes of men, women, and children linger.
