Ghost Hunting Techniques Workshop

Participate in a seminar on paranormal investigations.  

Tickets are only $20 per person.

In this seminar, you will learn about the hypotheses behind the equipment investigators use, bringing a new understanding to what ghost hunting really is. Learning how you can harness and develop investigative skills.  

 

T.O.P.S. Paranormal Investigation Tours

Saturday May 27th, 2023
7:30-8:50 pm
9:00-10:20 pm
10:30-11:50 pm

A very limited number of places are available.
Exclusive tickets are only $45 per person.

 

Your experience will begin with a conversation about Homer Watson’s interest and connection to spiritualism. Following this, you will receive a briefing from our paranormal experts before the lights are extinguished and the investigation begins. In near total darkness you will be escorted around the Gallery including the cellar, staircase, Homer’s studio, and galleries. Using professional ghost hunting equipment including EMF meters, infrared thermal scanners, EVP sound recorders and motion detectors, who knows what you might encounter? At the end of the investigation you will review and discuss any unexplained activity in the Control Centre.

Reports of activity in and around the home include full body apparitions, voices, and footsteps. Some feel ghostly presences in the rooms of the house. All we know is this: these investigations are not for the faint-hearted.

The Loch Doon area was memorialized in celebrated Scottish poet, Robert Burns piece “Ye banks and braes O’ bonnie Doon”

Ye banks and braes o’ bonny Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
And I sae weary fu’ o’ care?
Thou’lt break my heart, thou warbling bird,
That wantons thro’ the flowering thorn:
Thou minds me o’ departed joys,
Departed, never to return.

Aft hae I rov’d by bonnie Doon,
To see the rose and woodbine twine;
And ilka bird sang o’ its love,
And fondly sae did I o’ mine.
Wi’ lightsome heart I pu’d a rose,
Fu’ sweet upon its thorny tree;
And my fause lover stole my rose,
But, ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.
