What is Spellbound?

Unlike a traditional ghost hunt, Spellbound is an experiential journey into the fears and folklore of Cornwall’s past — designed to introduce you into the world of Witchcraft & Spirit, where we will use more traditional witch-style methods of spirit communication and connecting with the paranormal.

Don’t forget to bring a notebook and pen — you may want to record your experiences, observations, and insights as the night unfolds.
