Over the years we have visited dozens of reputedly haunted properties for the purpose of investigation including Woburn Abbey, Longleat, Markyate Cell, Salisbury Hall, Windsor Castle, Borley, The Queen's House Greenwich, Bramshill, Chingle Hall, RAF Museum Cosford, Harlaxton, Chicksands, Glamis Castle, Paul Getty's English home, and Sutton Place. In fact, innumerable practical investigations have been carried out into alleged hauntings at cottages, houses, villages, manor houses, palaces and castles throughout Britain and elsewhere. Regular meetings of the Ghost Club Society are held at a London club and elsewhere, with a quarterly journal "Society News" going to all members. Membership is normally by invitation only.
