About Dark Encounters… 20 years of exploring the paranormal.

20 years ago we were involved with the original team of Most Haunted (Series One) and worked with them to establish public events looking at some of the scariest places in Britain to explore the paranormal activity. As the field became more and more popular we branched out and created Dark Encounters, a company with a clear vision to offer open access to Britain's haunted heritage. Over the years we have conducted 950 investigations in over 30 locations across the UK. Over 20,000 people have experienced the excitement of being in beautiful historic locations after dark. Through the darkness, a new perspective of exploring the unknown is developed as we document paranormal activity during paranormal investigations. 

The Casebook of Dark Encounters hold all the investigation reports from those hundreds of investigations and the experiences of 1,000s of people. It has allowed us to make detail analysis on activity, spot trends and even predict potential activity hotshots. No other groups have detailed this quantity of data, because at the very heart of each investigations are the experiences or those that choose to take their paranormal journey with us.


From the Casebook of Dark Encounters:
The Brickworks Museum at Bursledon

The Brickworks Museum at Bursledon in the only remaining steam driven factory of its type - which could in the height of production produce 32 million bricks a year. With a location steeped in history and with dangerous and sometimes lethal working conditions it is no wonder that reports of paranormal activity have been reported for years.
