Ghost Organisations

Hi

Since the dawn of Haunting Breaks we have strived to create short activity breaks that offer comfortable amenities, historical & architectural interest combined with a paranormal history.
We now partner with hundreds of haunted castles, manor houses & inns across the UK & Europe that provide just this service. Hand-picked by our dedicated team of professionals these are the platform for our unique overnight experiences.
The actual event offers a fine dining experience followed by the chance to become part of a small group that practice table-tipping, glass divination & seances in known haunted areas within the venue in the DARK of course! OK you're not on your own AND our experts are on - hand to keep the lid on things!
Not everyone will be interested believing that we're a bunch of "nerds" who wonder around in the dark with our anoraks on shouting "I've got an orb"!
We do of course but seriously the aim is to give people the means to be able to divine for themselves and experience something that they may never even have thought of before.
We've welcomed a vast cross section of the general public over the years, from doctors & lawyers to call - centre handlers & celebrities.
Everyone becomes equal when they're challenged by the unknown. Everyone wonders what moves the table or touches them lightly on the shoulder during a seance. Everyone is amazed by the feel of a dowsing pendulum or divining rod when the energy & vibrations start to move them.
These event experiences are so subtle they are extremely difficult to describe and convey in the written form. They are however, unforgettable and suitable for all! ( guess you'll just have to take my word for that)!

An Extreme Pilgrim


Hi
Most of us could probably claim to have been one of these within any context during the period of our life time
I watched one of the programmes created by the BBC including Pete Owen-Jones, a vicar in a Sussex parish
"I hope to enter worlds where rule book and doctrine are replaced by an individual relationship with God and where the attainment of enlightenment is won by hardship, privation and pain" states Pete.
Pete arrives at the famous Shaolin Temple, a seven-hour train journey from Beijing in the Hevan Province, right in the centre of China. The Shaolin Monastery occupies a central place in Chinese cultural history, as it is the ancestral home of all martial arts.

Pete says "The Church of England in particular is incredibly intellectual. You know, huge libraries full of books and theological bookshops. But we don't do anything physical. It's going to be very challenging indeed."

Pete is thrown straight into a gruelling routine of Kung Fu, the central technique in Chan Buddhism (also known as Zen Buddhism in Japan).

Whilst embracing energetically all the rules and methods of the discipline he struggles with the "heart" and sole principle of the belief system and to my dismay, very quickly becomes frustrated with the whole experience
Only when he joins a small band of renegade buddhists that live on a mountain top away from everything and everyone, including the famous Shaolin temple and its inhabitants, does he gradually become ENLIGHTENED!
He eventually realises that adherence to codes, dogma, formal structure and literal instruction is what blocks the arrival of enlightenment. As soon as he relaxes, stops worrying about progress and methodology it is naturally awakened within
Good programme, really interesting and a lesson for us all, whether religious or not!
Check it out and let me know what you think
