As Halloween approaches, The London Dungeon has teamed up with professional paranormal investigator and TV presenter Barri Ghai to provide people across the UK with advice on how to know if your own house is haunted and top tips on how to get rid of an unwanted spirit.

And, for those brave enough to face phantoms this Halloween, the London Dungeon has launched its brand-new seasonal show set in the spine-chilling attic of 50 Berkeley Square. Running from October 15 to 31, the London Dungeon will try to uncover the many terrifying and unexplained phenomena that happened at this haunted property.

A London Dungeon spokesperson said: “Where better to enjoy Halloween than at a show about a haunted house, taking place in a haunted attraction. We have stories going back years from visitors and staff of unexplained incidents, mysterious silhouettes and chills descending. We’ve had technicians building sets refusing to set foot back in rooms due to feelings of dread or set pieces constantly breaking.

“As the Home of Halloween, we can’t wait for guests to see our new show. We’re going bigger and better than ever before with even more frights and scares designed to leave your underwear as clean as the abandoned 50 Berkeley Square attic – filthy! See you there, if you dare…”

8 Ways to get rid of or protect against unwanted spirits in your home.

1. Smudge your property by burning white sage to cleanse and purify the home is a common method of spiritual cleansing.

2. Burning Palo Santo wood or ‘blessed wood’ wafting the smoke around to rid the home of more

evil, negative entities.

3. Saying prayers for the dead with holy water or other blessed artifacts can help shift spirits and help cross them over.

4. Simply asking the spirits to leave your home, being confident, in control and claiming back your property is a tried and tested method of removing spirits respectfully and peacefully.

5. Using harmonic frequency tones to disrupt energies and purify spaces can also help. Tones can be created with singing bowls, chimes or even using electronic pure tone generators.

6. A priest, holy person, or religious figure may carry out a blessing or in some cases an exorcism ritual to rid homes and even people of attached spirits and demonic forces.

7. Use crystals to purify, repel and banish spirits. Crystals like black obsidian, shungite, tourmaline, smoky quartz and peridot can be placed around the home to cleanse and harmonise the space.

8. Some herbs have actually been used for 100’s of years to ward off evil spirits. Leaving sprigs of rosemary, lavender, sage, dill or rue around the home can help protect against or remove spirits.
