The Park Hotel has a long and complicated history, the land was first purchased in 1843, but do to countless problems and complications the Pavilion was not completed until 1851 and the company when bankrupt in 1865. The Park Hotel endured good and bad times, mishaps and mismanagement, debt and deaths. From 1982 the property never really recovered and has been closed for extended periods leaving it derelict over a 10-year period. Thanks to Martin Shenton, the doors have once again been opened for Murder Mystery events and Paranormal Investigations, though its past still haunts it, we believe that this is the perfect backdrop to the Haunted House FearFest.
