The Paranormal Activity at Albert Hall

The History of Albert Hall

There’s something spooky happening at Albert Hall in Llandrindod Wells. But it’s no surprise when you learn about all that’s happened over the years.

Built-in 1896, Albert Hall was developed for the many Welsh speakers visiting the Llandrindod area. It’s known for its healing spas and relaxing getaways. The Presbyterian Church needed a place to hold services and meetings for Welsh visitors.

Fundraising began for the £2,000 needed for a new venue; in 1896, the Church completed the Hall. The great hall is massive, with enough seating for 750 people and a stage for performances.

In 1905 the attached Church was redesigned, while the hall’s basement became a church schoolroom. We don’t know about you but in our experience. Churches and schools always seem to bring out the spooky side of things.

Fast-forward to the First World War, were 4,000 soldiers stationed in Llandrindod. They used the Hall for various events throughout the war.

At the end of the war, numbers at the Church dwindled, as it did across the UK. Since the Albert Hall was not in use, the Church became a theatre and cinema. Most of these features still stand today, making the hall that much more authentically spooky.

During WWII, Llandrindod became a base once more. The Hall was in full swing, with hundreds of soldiers attending entertainment each night.

In 1958, the Hall got bought by an auction house, and you know what that means—spirits holding onto lost artefacts. Don’t believe us? The six most haunted dolls would disagree.

Strangely, the hall got bought by townspeople in 1962 for only £2,000; that’s what it cost to build back in 1896! Why the sudden move to sell? The following section might give us an answer.

The Hall has had multiple upgrades and various shows and events hosted there. Today, it’s widely visited for the ghost-hunting spectacular. The owners invite paranormal investigators to meet spirits throughout Albert Hall’s history.

What to Take for Your Ghost Hunting Expedition

Now onto the fun part: all the ghost-hunting goodies to make your visit to Albert Hall one you won’t soon forget! The Spirit Shack has all the ghost-hunting equipment you could ever need.

The essential basic for ghost hunting is the EMF meter. A good starting point is the K2 Meter with Sound which alerts you to any change in energy. It provides a sound along with lights, perfect when the lights might not be visible, and you can still hear any alerts.

Once you know where the energy is, it’s time to start recording to see what you pick up. The 8 GB Digital EVP Recorder has got you covered with hours of recordings waiting.

To make your recordings clear, opt for a microphone. It can pick up a lot more, with even a whisper coming through on the recording. The 3.5 mm Wind Resistant Microphone is among the best on the market. It will record clear voices and not pick up any background interference.

A spirit box is worth a look if you’re after something to communicate with spirits in real-time. The SBOX Spirit Box FM/AM Scanner allows you to record while moving through various frequencies. These frequencies are what give souls the energy to come forward and communicate.

An oldie but goodie for all fresh ghost investigators is an Ouija board. The Classic Ouija Board and Planchette are ideal to bring to this spooky event. It allows spirits to communicate with you through spelling out words. It’s brilliant for those that have direct questions they want answers to.

For an ample space like Albert Hall, the 360° Motion Tracking Puck comes in handy. It allows you to track any motion within a room. Picture this device up on that theatre balcony; you’re in for a lot of spooky tracking.
