Essex Ghost Hunters proudly present the third ever paranormal investigation at the High house estate.

Although the house is currently under construction EGH have been given permission to investigate the amazing barn, outhouses, and the grounds. 

 

High House was originally built between 1552 and 1559 by Cecily Long to divide the Manor of West Thurrock, in Essex, equally between her two daughters. First built in timber and later replaced in brick in 1684, evidence remains of the Elizabethan timbers that are part of this early house in the fabric of the 17th-century surviving building. In fact, parts of the original panelling from the Queen Anne house was reused in the later construction

 

The house was a high status farm, as an inventory of 1615 describes a gallery with armoury and a dining room with paintings, and the garden having a sun dial, garden benches and a statue. Architectural detail seen in the stable indicates the kind of quality, wealth and status that the occupants of the house commanded.

The dovecote, a hexagonal building used to house doves, was a sign of wealth and prosperity which would have been used to supplement the house kitchens with dove eggs and dove meat. In incredibly complete condition, this building still retains the internal wooden ladder used to reach all 517 nest boxes.

 

Development in West Thurrock, originally from the chalk industry and later from a huge variety of industries, gradually decreased the size of the land which High House owned and farmed, but it was the widening of the M25 which finally signalled the end for High House as a viable farm in the traditional sense. After the bypasses construction, the farm tried to find a new role as a private school, and lastly as flats until it closed and lay empty for many years.

 

Your Paranormal investigation at The High House Estate includes:

• Tour of the venue

• Vigils throughout the location working in small groups

• Spirit board & Séance experiments

• Use of ghost hunting equipment including Dowsing Rods, EMF Meters & Mel Meters

• Refreshments throughout


Testimonials For Harwich Redoubt Fort

  • Those naughty soldiers...........!

    What a great evening was had at the Harwich Fort! Loads of stuff going on, some very randy (apparently!) spirit soldiers and some other interesting characters. A lot of people were really affected and I loved the whole fort with its spooky atmosphere and winding staircases. There were a few very emotional moments and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole night? Thanks guys, see you next year!

  • Convinced

    First time ghost hunting and well and truly hooked. Started the evening with a very open mind and needing something special to convince me that this stuff was for real. Didn't take long ...left Harwich in the early hours of Saturday morning with a completely different outlook to the paranormal. Great experience with a 100% genuine team of ghost hunters..10/10

  • Very Honest Paranormal Investigation

    My first ghost hunting event with Essex Ghost Hunters was Harwich Redoubt Fort. We got to the fort about 30 mins early, the team were very welcoming and let us take a look around the fort before anyone else got there. The team is very professional and they know what they are doing. This is great for anyone who wants to have their first ghost hunting event. I would recommend Essex Ghost Hunters to anyone who wants to experience a great and very honest paranormal investigation.

    — Jack V.
