Oxford Castle has a history that goes back about a thousand years - and there are parts of this castle that, until recently, had never been seen by the public in all that time. It has been a prison, a royal household, a defensive earthworks and is even the location of a smart hotel. But it's the underground dungeons and tunnels of Oxford Castle Unlocked that provide the location for this creepily spectacular festival. The 9-day festival includes:
  • ghost hunts
  • technical ghost hunting conferences with equipment demonstrations
  • overnight ghost hunts and vigils
  • psychic stand-up comedy
  • devilish entertainments
  • a witchcraft conference
  • even a ghost fair with psychics, mediums, clairvoyants, paranormal detectives and access to the creepiest of crypts.
