WORLD'S BIGGEST GHOST HUNT SET TO BREAK THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS

Fright Nights, the leading UK ghost hunt specialist, is set to break the
Guinness World Records by staging the World's Biggest Ghost Hunt on 31
October from 7:00pm – 12:00pm. The ghost hunt, which is to be held at
the Alton Towers gothic ruins, allegedly haunted by 15 different ghosts,
is expected to attract more than 2,200 people.

Based on calculations from the experts at Fright Nights, they are
confident they can beat the previous world record set in Scotland and
bring the title back to England. In accordance with the rules set by the
Guinness World Records, Fright Nights will conduct an in-depth
scientific ghost hunting experiment which all attendees will be
requested to take part in and record their experiences. The experiment
will be conducted and adjudicated by a local University-based
parapsychological unit.

The previous attempt at beating the ghost hunting world record was set
by psychologist Richard Wiseman. In 2001, Wiseman led an experiment to
test the reactions of more than 250 volunteers who were exposed to
haunted locations in Edinburgh. As well as recording the reactions and
feelings of the volunteers, a variety of sensors were deployed which
included a magnetometer, thermal imager, air temperature, movement
sensors and a light meter, as well as photographic and video cameras. It
was Wiseman's investigation that set the rules for all future attempts
at beating the Guinness World Records.

Fright Nights will be using similar ghost hunting equipment as used in
Wiseman's investigation. Parts of the ruins will be cordoned off for the
experiment, however in order to increase the chance of experiencing the
paranormal, the public will be allowed to explore the haunted ruins at
their own leisure. In various rooms some of the UK's top mediums and
clairvoyants will hold mini-ghost vigils enabling those that attend to
learn psychic skills.

Fright Nights will be sending over 20 mediums and clairvoyants to take
part in the experiment whilst a number of celebrity TV mediums will also
be in attendance. Part of the activities will include a large Psychic
Fair which has attracted some of the best paranormal related stalls in
the UK.

Fright Nights are no strangers in organising ghost hunts. In 2004 they
organised the first "Worlds Biggest Ghost Hunt" which was televised in
the States and on Living TV which was watched by more than 4 million
viewers in the UK alone. For the last 7 years, the company has been
arranging ghost themed events which are held regularly at haunted venues
across the UK including the ruins at Alton Towers and at the famously
haunted Warwick Castle.

Please note: No rides will be open, this is a ghost hunt only.
