Paranormal Investigation at Newhaven Fort

Book onto the investigation

07/03/26 to 08/03/26

Time: 7:00PM - 1:00AM

Location: Newhaven Fort

Ticket Price: £43

Newhaven Fort is one of the most active and atmospheric locations we have investigated. Built as part of the Napoleonic defensive strategy to protect the Sussex Coast from attack. Over the years we have documented several very strange occurrences in the labyrinth of tunnels and rooms that run around the Fort. What were they… well join us as we re-open the Casebook to see if they happen to you too.

Further Information

Join Dark Encounters as we carry out a comprehensive paranormal investigation of the site. You will get to investigate for yourselves; setting up experiments, carrying out the experiments and recording your observations. So whether it is a lone vigil in the counterscarp tunnel, EVP experiments in the accommodation rooms, or Dowsing experiments in the exhibition rooms you will be in the heart of the action. At the beginning of your evening you will have a briefing on ghost hunting techniques and the plan for the evening. Then you will split into smaller groups to carry out the investigation. The teams will be led by experience investigators who will guide you to the correct areas and how to set up the experiments.

There will be regular refreshment breaks and then at the end of the evening all teams will have a debriefing as we report the evidence recorded. We will be looking for correlations of phenomena between the groups and previous investigations we have carried out at the location - all recorded in the Casebook of Dark Encounters from the past twenty years.
