A Frighteningly Good Stay at My Haunted Hotel - By Jodie

When it’s Friday, and you’re Northern, the question is always: What’s for tea? Naturally, it’s fish and chips. And the best around? Harry’s Dad’s legendary “Frighteningly Good Fish and Chips” at Ye Olde King’s Head in Chester.

This visit isn’t just about great food—it’s an experience. My brother Darren and I are staying the night at the infamous My Haunted Hotel, unapologetically rocking our My Haunted Project merch from Undeadtees. While enjoying dessert, we flick through the hotel’s guest book, packed with eerie stories of unexplained encounters. It’s the perfect prelude to what lies ahead.




An Atmosphere of Mystery

After winding down with a drink in the historic pub, we prepare for the night ahead. A quick trip to the ladies’ toilets, known as the oldest part of the building, dating back to the 1200's, has me on edge. Singing or whistling becomes my go-to tactic to stave off any spectral visitors. The pub's downstairs bar itself is steeped in history, featuring a suit of armour, a haunted sword from Room 4, and Willow, a doll with a chilling reputation.

Meeting the Team

We’re greeted by Dan, Gibbsy, and Saz, who gather everyone in the function room for introductions and a plan of action. Each visit is unique, tailored to guests by the fantastic team. Tonight, we’re assigned Room 6, infamous for the spirit of Lady Heidi. With our radio in hand to communicate with the control room, whenever we need to, we’re ready to uncover the paranormal.

Room 6: Lady Heidi’s Domain

Room 6 has seen it all—baby cries, unexplained knocks, and intelligent interactions via devices. As we settle in, a knock makes us jump, but it’s swiftly debunked as kitchen noise by Gibbsy. It’s this level of investigation and transparency that sets My Haunted Hotel apart.


Room 7: The Haunted Museum

Venturing into Room 7, we explore haunted artifacts, each with a unique story. Just as we relax, a clear knock on Room 6’s door leaves us stunned. The control room confirms nobody was there. What. Was. That?!

Room 2: The Infamous Room of Fear

Known for its dark energy, Room 2 is my least favourite. Last time, a growl left me shaken. This time, the control room witnesses a whistle on the camera, unnoticed by us at the time. Spooky!


Exploring the Top Floor

Gathering in the main corridor, we listen for the playful sounds of Billy and Sarah, two child spirits. A growl is quickly debunked as "someone's" stomach (thanks, Hustler Burger!), but the corridor still delivers an eerie vibe.

Room 8: Grace Doll’s Lair

The Grace Doll is a central figure of My Haunted Hotel lore. Though quiet tonight, she remains spine-chilling. On Halloween 2023, a camera captured a child’s voice saying, “I’m sorry.” The memory alone is enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.









Uncovering Evidence in the Brothel

In the brothel, Dan sets up the Paracast device. This floor has produced groundbreaking evidence, from shadow figures to direct voice phenomena. Tonight, we hear our names through the device—a thrilling, if unsettling, experience.

A Night to Remember

As the team leaves us to explore, we’re free to investigate with the hotel’s cameras rolling. Any potential paranormal events can be reviewed later by the team. Surprisingly, I sleep soundly in Room 6’s luxurious bed, marking the end of another unforgettable night at My Haunted Hotel.


Why My Haunted Hotel Stands Out

Every visit to My Haunted Hotel is a unique adventure. From its historic charm to the dedicated team’s commitment to debunking claims, this is more than just a ghost hunt—it’s an immersive, thrilling experience. Whether you’re a sceptic or a believer, My Haunted Hotel will leave you with more questions than answers.
