With many reports of ghostly activity at this magnificent property including; a sense of being watched, objects moving, being pushed, disembodied voices and even shadow figures walking though walls - is it any wonder that staff refuse to enter some rooms after dark?

Join Dark Encounters as we open a new Casebook on this location and document the paranormal activity within. You will get fully involved in the investigation throughout the night; using equipment, setting up experiments and recording your results. All findings are then recorded in the Casebook of investigations from over the past 20 years. Through the whole evening your small team will have exclusive access to the building as we document your experiences.

Further Information

Built in 1756, Merley House in Wimborne, Dorset, (originally spelt Myrle) was an ancient manor belonging to the Lords of Canford. After numerous owners the house fell into disrepair and in 1939 the outbreak of war meant that the War Office requisitioned the house. By the 1960s, the present owners started a holiday park to help finance the house’s restoration. This allowed a new lease of life and the transformation of the house back to its former glory.
