All Hallow's Eve, Hallow E'en, Halloween, Day of the Dead, Samhain. By whatever name it has been called, this special night preceding All Hallows day (November 1st) has been considered for centuries as one of the most magical nights of the year. A night of power, when the veil that separates our world from the Otherworld is at its thinnest. As ubiquitous as Halloween celebrations are throughout the world, few of us know that the true origin of Halloween is a ceremony of honoring our ancestors and the day of the dead. A time when the veils between the worlds were thinner, and so many could "see" the other side of life.

A time in the year when the spiritual and material worlds touched for a moment, and a greater potential exists for magical creation. Ancient rites In ancient times, this day was a special and honored day of the year. In the Celtic calendar, it was one of the most important days of the year, representing a mid point in the year, Samhain, or "summer's end".

Occuring opposite the great Spring Festival of May Day, or Beltain, this day represented the turning point of the year, the eve of the new year which begins with the onset of the dark phase of the year. And while celebrated by the Celts, the origin of this day has connections to other cultures as well, such as Egypt, and in Mexico as Dia de la Muerta, or the day of the dead. The Celts believed that the normal laws of space and time were held in abeyance during this time, allowing a special window where the spirit world could intermingle with the living. It was a night when the dead could cross the veils and return to the land of the living to celebrate with their family, or clan. As such, the great burial mounds of Ireland were lit up with torches lining the walls, so the spirits of the dead could find their way.

Jack-o-lanterns

Out of this ancient tradition comes one of our most famous icons of the holiday: the Jack-o-lantern. Originating from Irish folkfore, the Jack-o-lantern was used as a light for the lost soul of Jack, a notorious trickster, stuck between worlds. Jack is said to have tricked the devil into a truck of a tree and by carving an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, he trapped the devil there. His pranks denied him access to Heaven, and having angered the devil also to Hell, so Jack was a lost soul, trapped between worlds. As a consolation, the devil gave him a sole ember to light his way through the darkness between worlds. Originally in Ireland turnips were carved out and candles placed inside as lanterns lit to help guide Jack’s lost spirit back home. Hence the term: Jack-o-lanterns. Later, when immigrants came to the new world, pumpkins were more readily available, and so the carved pumpkins carrying a lit candle served the same function.

Festival for the dead

As the Church began to take hold in Europe the ancient Pagan rituals were co-opted into festivals of the Church. While the Church could not support a general feast for all the dead, it created a festival for the blessed dead, all those hallowed so, All Hallow's, was transformed into All Saints and All Souls day. Today, we have lost the significance of this most significant time of year which in modern times has turned into a candy fest with kids dressing up as action hereos. Many cultures have ceremonies to honor their dead. In so doing, they complete a cycle of birth and death, and keep in line with a harmony and order of the universe, at time when we enter into the cycle of darkness for the upcoming year. As you light your candles this year, keep in mind the true potency of this time, one of magical connections to the other side of life, and a time to remember those who have passed before us. A time to send our love and gratitude to them to light their way back home.

What an amazing night.

With the evening beginning with a beautiful buffet style supper prepared by Ms E Holloway, the sspi team along with members of the public undertook a fabulous night of investigation.

From moving "figures" in the grounds to stones being thrown activity was high...was it paranormal? ony those in attendance can decide but from a spiritual perspective Pen Y Lan has many many secrets and the spirits that are in residence are the residue of a very active past...

The SSPI team are to investigate again we hope at the end of September but have definatly booked the 29th October - Halloween weekend for a very special event.This event will be filled with fun , laughter and then serious ghosthunting....not for the faint hearted.....Join us again at this amazing venue.....on all hallows eve

Pen-Y-Lan is situated at the head of a bucolic valley, in the centre of its 500-acre estate, which straddles the English/Welsh border – indeed Shropshire is at the bottom of the hill and across the river.  The house was originally built in 1690 by one of the founders of Lloyds bank, though as Quakers they suffered extreme persecution in Wales and moved to Birmingham in 1689, so I suspect the house was more a rural retreat or symbolic connection as the family’s main homes were in and around Birmingham.  The house was then sold to the Holloway family in 1849, where it has been passed down through the generations to the current owner, Emma Holloway.

Come and investigate this magnificent statly home where history runs through its walls. Still a home to the Holloway family, they have fabulously agreed to us investigating their family home where they report much activity.

This is a delightful building filled as if in a fairytale with dark cellars , passageways into the walls , current and historic stable blocks not forgetting the tunnel from the cellar into the woods.

This will not be for the faint hearted - a truly magical building steeped in experiences and history , with reported polterguiest activity.

Join the SSPI team with a ghostly supper held in the beautiful but eerie dining room followed by a workshop to help you begin your understanding of the night and investigation skills. Then we begin... where? Will you have something thrown to you? Will you hear children? This venue is rural... you will not want to run out into the grounds...

This event is to be paid only through paypal to ensure numbers are available for Emma Holloway to cater for.

No monies once paid are refundable unless SSPI cancel the event.

...is live sooner than expected.. please wait for content!
