Ghost Hunt – Moira Furnace
Join us on our incredible Ghost Hunt at Moira Furnace!
This Furnace is one of Leicestershire’s hidden gems. The Furnace sits nestled within beautiful countryside, so there is plenty to love about this place!
The buildings here were built in 1804 by the Earl of Moira alongside the banks of the Ashby Canal.
Moira Furnace was a coke-fueled, steam-engine-blown blast furnace for smelting iron from local iron ore, with an attached foundry for manufacturing cast-iron goods. With the canal network, the Furnace had the perfect transportation network.
But is Moira Furnace Haunted? Whose spirits remain at the Furnace?
There have been many reports of paranormal activity at Moira Furnace and the surrounding area. Disembodied voices are heard throughout the building. A feeling of uneasiness and nausea has been experienced when guests enter certain areas of the building.
With so much history, Moira has many ghost stories and reported sightings of spirit energies. Shadow figures have been seen out of the corner of one’s eye, ghostly children have been seen and heard in the woods nearby, and what of the apparitions of the farmers with pitchforks that our team leader saw and vowed never to go back?
