Because modern spirits simply don’t have the same work ethic.
At Ghost Management, we specialise in sourcing and supplying premium vintage apparitions for events, attractions, manor houses, abandoned corridors, seasonal experiences, and heritage-based haunting requirements.
Unlike modern ghosts — who mostly just hover near vape shops complaining about broadband speeds — our vintage collection delivers proper atmosphere. We’re talking candlelit sorrow. Meaningful rattling. Excellent posture. The sort of haunting that smells faintly of old books and regret.
Anything pre-1900 qualifies for our Vintage Spirits Division.
Our current roster includes:
The Victorian Governess
One of our most requested hires. Pale, emotionally distant, and capable of appearing silently at the top of staircases for up to four consecutive hours.
Best used for:
• Manor houses
• Candlelit tours
• Long corridors
• Looking disappointed in people
Please note: governing staff may occasionally attempt to discipline guests for “excessive ankle exposure.”
The Plague Doctor
A dramatic visual spirit with excellent audience reaction rates. Particularly effective in fog-heavy environments and medieval-style attractions.
Includes:
• Slow turning movements
• Silent looming
• Disturbing corner appearances
• Optional bell ringing package
Not recommended near small children or nervous wedding DJs.
The Mourning Bride
Classic gothic package. Wanders slowly through hallways carrying unresolved emotional energy and occasionally weeping near windows.
Very popular for:
• Castle events
• Gothic weddings
• Ruined abbeys
• Places with terrible heating
Clients are advised not to ask who she was waiting for. Last time someone did, three mirrors cracked and the venue cat vanished for six days.
The Industrial Miner
Northern. Gruff. Covered in coal dust. Brilliant value for money.
Creates:
• Heavy boot footsteps
• Distant coughing
• Pickaxe dragging noises
• Strong “someone’s behind you” atmosphere
Will occasionally complain about management, wages, or “what they did to the unions.”
Frankly, one of the more realistic spirits we manage.
The Medieval Monk
Quiet but deeply unsettling. Excellent for stone buildings.
Features include:
• Latin whispering
• Slow candle extinguishing
• Sudden cold patches
• Judgemental staring
Minimal maintenance required. Mostly keeps himself to himself unless somebody starts singing Wonderwall near sacred architecture.
The Headless Nobleman
A premium booking option for larger Halloween attractions.
Difficult to insure.
Very professional though.
Despite lacking a head, his timekeeping is excellent and he remains one of the few spirits capable of delivering both aristocratic menace and crowd control.
Please note:
• Cannot legally operate near ceiling fans
• Requires wider door clearance
• Top hat package billed separately
Refreshments & Breaks
Many clients ask whether ghosts require refreshments.
Technically no.
However, after the incident in Harrogate involving an exhausted Edwardian child spirit and two litres of supermarket own-brand cola, we now strongly recommend scheduled rest periods for all full-evening hauntings.
Tea urn access is appreciated where possible.
