A TWELFTH century hall in South Hiendley will be the location for a spooky ghost hunting programme tomorrow.
Hodroyd Hall has been investigated by the Most Haunted team and the programmes will tonight (Friday) on Really at 9pm and continue on Fridays at the same time for the following two weeks.
The show, which boasts more that 250 episodes, is now in its 24th series, and investigated Hodroyd Hall as a three part special.
There has been a house on the site of Hodroyd Hall since the 12th century, when records show the land was owned by Sir John de Hoderode, who was also the steward at Pontefract Castle.
It is alleged that a kitchen maid who worked at the hall was murdered and burned in one of the huge fireplaces at Hodroyd Hall.
Yvette Fielding, presenter of Most Haunted, said: “I absolutely loved investigating this wonderful building, so much happened, we were all taken back by the phenomenon.
“It is however, not scary, just so very intriguing, whatever or whoever haunts this place seems to be very happy.
“Even though we encountered so much in one night, Hodroyd Hall still has many more secrets to reveal.”
Karl Beattie, producer, director and presenter of Most Haunted said: “Hodroyd Hall is without doubt one of the most interesting haunted places we have visited.
“There is so much activity, nothing negative though. We had, what I believe to be, some of the best evidence of paranormal activity we have ever caught, it amazed the whole team.”
Hodroyd Hall now hold events where they can meet the stars of the programme and ‘ghost hunt’ with them.
Jenny Bryant from the Most Haunted experience said: “It’s a chance for the fans to get autographs, have a chat as well as getting involved in the experiments such as Ouija boards, table tipping and have a go with ghost hunting equipment as seen on the show.
“We have the whole building to investigate. From creepy cellars to eerie attics and derelict rooms in between, it’s the perfect location.”
The events are on Friday or Saturday nights from 9pm until 2am.
