Absolutely loved my visit here! Small museum under a pub and curiosity shop, but it's filled to the brim with artifacts and exhibits! Lovingly curated and there's just so much to see.
Make sure to keep your eyes open, there are a few hidden spaces you might miss otherwise.
What a brilliant little gem, definitely worth your time!

This is a lovely atmospheric museum and a real hidden gem in Nottingham, if you take your time and read every exhibit this is easily an experience that takes 1-2 hours and there's plenty to look at. If you're a fan of the paranormal or horror I would recommend a visit. The museum is also situated beneath a cafe and your ticket gets you 10% off cafe purchases which I thought was a really nice touch. I am however going to knock a star off because there wasn't a huge amount of space to move around meaning a lot of time was spent waiting to read the next exhibit. I was also told there would be staff in the actual museum so that we had the chance to hold a real human skull but sadly no one was there and so I missed out on that.

As a long time paranormal fan, this was a must see destination when we were on a family trip in the area. Both myself and my 14 year old were excited to visit - my husband was dragged along.
With an £8 per person entrance fee, it was good value for money as there was lots to see and lots of information to read about the haunted items. The staff were brilliant and went out of their way to ensure we were OK and getting the most from our visit - even offering to let us hold a human skull.
Small, but good selection of merchandise to buy.
Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area. We did have a little trouble finding it initially as it's located in the basement of a mixed use building - just be aware.
The rest of the floors in the building are also worth a look, if vintage and quirky items are up your street. The bar/cafe is a must too.

A memorable experience, I went feeling sceptical about there actually being haunted items, but I did have 3 experiences here that made me question my scepticism. The dybbuk box really affected me before i even got to it, had me feeling dizzy and nauseous when I was around the corner looking at the rat display, once I moved away from it I felt better though. I would love doing a night time tour here, the creepy doll room made me and my friend hesitant to enter too, for the short amount of time that I spent there, I definitely won't forget my experience.

Absolutely amazing. Was really interesting and I had my first proper paranormal experience there. Definitely recommend for people interested in either the paranormal or enjoy horror films

I am an international student who loves supernatural stories, thanks to this museum, I can experience many favorite European horror stories. Totally worth experiencing and reading. Definitely an unforgettable experience!

Spent about an hour here on a Saturday morning and loved it. Really interesting mix of artifacts and some very entertaining taxidermy as well! The building the museum is in has a really good cafe and vintage shop too so you can easily spend a couple of hours here. Highly recommended as some spooky fun and will be going back!

Had a fantastic time here on 22/01/22! Myself, my partner and a friend visited the museum after finding it online. We are all paranormal enthusiasts and love this type of stuff so we thought we'd give it a try! After joining the Facebook group and reading reviews prior, we were very excited and lets just say, it did not disappoint.

The staff are all friendly and absolutely lovely and willing to have a chat with you about the oddities it houses and any experiences. We spent well over an hour in the museum looking at the different displays and taking it all in, all of us having our own experiences.

We thought we'd share our experience! What follows happened in the doll room. Upon our first walk through, we were in the doll room reading the exhibits and taking pictures when another visitor came into the room and locked the door behind her. We continued doing our own thing when the door flew open by itself... strange but no cause for questioning anything. A little while later whilst talking with a member of staff, he mentioned it is an occurrence that happens often and they have tried to debunk it but to no avail, we thought we'd try our own investigation.

We went back into the doll room and closed both doors. I went over to the door that opens by itself and attempted to jump around on the floor around it, bang near the door to see if it would jump the lock and open, but nothing. It stayed where it was. I then attempted to balance the door on the lock to see if this was the case but the door has to either be closed with the lock in or open, there is no in between... so, do debunking there. Finally, we attempted to interact with the spirits in the room that may lurk within the dolls, inviting them to move the dolls and spin them which they did on various commands and finally, we asked them to open the door. Repeatedly we asked but nothing, the door stay closed. Finally, we friend says "if you do not open the door, I'll touch your doll"... nothing. He says it again... nothing. Then he says "if you open the door you can attach yourself to me" (silly!) and as soon as he finished that sentence, the door flew open with force! No one in the adjoining room, no breezes opening the door, no one moved... nothing. It flew open with force. One of us ran from the room whilst myself and my friend maintained our ground. We closed the door and attempted again but to no avail as people we viewing in the other room.

An interesting experience to say the least! Will definitely be back in the future to experience this room again.

But overall, amazing experience, amazing value for money and having your hand stamped so you can go back in at any point of the day is really nice. All the staff are amazing and cannot wait to visit again! Also, holding the human skull has an interesting experience... if you get the chance, go spend some time here! You won't regret it.
