Public and Veteran's Vigil
Either Saturday 30th or Sunday 31st October 2010

Members of the scientific research team who have been researching the “hauntings” of Muncaster since 1992, will be leading the vigil. They will explain the rationale of a scientific investigation, and will train participants in the use of various items of technical equipment and research methods before supervising the overnight investigation in various locations of the Castle. This is your chance to meet like-minded professional researchers and take part in serious on-going research at the country’s most prominent location. Many of the team’s research findings have been published in top peer-reviewed international scientific journals.

This year we are offering a "Veteran's Vigil" in conjunction with a public vigil.  If you have supported our paranormal research project in the past then this is available to you for £50 per person.  The format is the same as the standard investigation night with the following exceptions.  Firstly, as you have previously attended a vigil there will be little need for the introductory lecture and secondly there will be no afternoon tea or evening supper.  If you wish to attend the full afternoon and evening programme then the full price Of £99 will apply.

The proposed programme is as follows:
5.00pm Registration and afternoon tea in Creeping Kate’s Kitchen
5.30pm – 7.30pm Old Laundry - Talk on the modus operandi of the vigil
7.30pm – 9.00pm 2 course supper
9.00pm – 11.00pm Move to Castle, and training in the use of technical equipment to be used on the night. Set up and test equipment in various locations.
11:00pm – 4:00am The vigil
4:00am – 8:00am Sleep, if you are able!
8.30am Breakfast followed by debriefing
10.00am Depart Muncaster Castle
The cost will be £99 per person and includes afternoon tea, an evening meal, tea/coffee throughout the vigil and a full English breakfast.
You will need to bring your own sleeping bags and warm clothing. You must comply with all instructions while participating on the event. This is a scientific project, part of the long term research into alleged ‘paranormal’ activity at Muncaster, and we do not encourage the use of séances or other similar activities. All equipment is provided, though you may want to bring your own pen / paper for note taking. If you do wish to bring your own cameras or the like, we must be made aware of this at registration, so we can explain to you any limitations in their use. By signing up for this event, you agree to co-operate with any media companies/agents who show an interest in covering this event, whether journalists, TV reporters or similar. We may not know until shortly before the event whether or not there will be any media interest in the vigil. Note that the presence of the media should not interfere in any way with the investigation process or your enjoyment of the event.
