Dare to step into the darkness of Gressenhall Workhouse?
Built in 1777 as the Mitford & Launditch Union House of Industry, this historic site holds centuries of human suffering within its walls. Once home to the forgotten, the poor, and the desperate, life here was brutally harsh. Families were separated, children were punished for the smallest misdeeds, and men and women toiled endlessly for the bare essentials of survival.
Join our team for a full, all-night paranormal investigation of one of Norfolkโs most atmospheric and historically intense locations. From the eerie Schoolhouse to the heavy, oppressive energy of the infamous Laundry, youโll be on the front line of uncovering what lingers in the shadows.
Intense Vigils
Lockdowns in the most reportedly active areas, guided by experienced investigators.
Paranormal Equipment
Use professional tools including EMF meters, spirit boxes, EVP recorders, and dowsing rods estes method and more to attempt communication with the past.
Access All Areas
Explore the Workhouse, Chapel, Cherry Tree Cottage, School, Infirmary, and more after dark.
Behind these thick walls, stories of hardship and sorrow remainโฆ and not everyone who entered ever truly left.
For over 170 years, Gressenhall Workhouse housed thousands under grim Victorian conditions. Its punishment cellโa small, airless stone chamberโconfined rule-breakers for days at a time.
One inmate, a 12-year-old girl named Harriet Kettle, was notoriously punished after accusations of rebellion and arson. Some visitors believe her spirit still roams the corridors in search of forgiveness.
