The evening started at 9pm through to 4am  and involved various vigils through out the night with different Team leaders who help and guide the vigils and supply equipment.  Most of the vigils went by without much incident but on our fourth  session with Phil Whyman, we encounted a unusual situation with a possessed Tourch.

Halloween 2009

Halloween 2009

This year my sister Michelle, invited us to go with her and Derek to Broadwitch Farm near Gravesend, to a Halloween event. We went on the 30th of october and had a fantastic time. I found out that i'm a bit of a wimp and suffer badly from Bangophobia (The fear of loud bangs and noises). So i found myself involuntarily shouting, swearing and making wiered  noise's that resemble wimpering.

There was 10 people in our party, but due to Broadwitch rules we could only go in the different events at no more than 5 at a time.

The main events were , Spooky Castle, Containment, the Vault, Field of Fear and Terror Trailer ride.  The events went live from 5 pm, which meant that Actors/staff roamed the site and events made up to be varing degrees of Zombies and Ghouls and made attempts to scare you.
