Join us at the RAF Manston. This is a new location for Essex Ghost Hunters, and we cannot wait to investigate.

First World War

At the outset of the First World War, the Isle of Thanet was equipped with a small and precarious landing strip for aircraft at St Mildreds Bay, Westgate, on top of the chalk cliffs, at the foot of which was a promenade which had been used for seaplane operations.

The landing grounds atop the cliff soon became the scene of several accidents, with at least one plane seen to fail to stop before the end of the cliffs and tumble into the sea which, fortunately for the pilot, had been on its inward tide.

Second World War

At the start of the Second World War, Manston hosted a School of Air Navigation but this was quickly moved out. On 10 September 1939, No. 3 Squadron RAF flew in equipped with Hawker Hurricanes and Manston was put under the command of No. 11 Group Fighter Command. No. 235 and No. 253 Squadron RAF both arrived on 30 October 1939 and stayed until October 1940. No. 79 Squadron arrived on 12 November 1939.

You will be investigating one of our newest locations so we suggest that you bring cameras, and other recording equipment, you may be lucky enough to capture something truly paranormal.

Your ghost hunt will include:

Vigils throughout the location working in small groups.

Spirit board experiments

Use of ghost hunting equipment including Dowsing Rods & EMF Meters

Refreshments throughout
