Edward L. Shanahan

Edward's creation that he calls a 'Circle of Energy' - has allowed him and those present at the paranormal outings to venture into the spirit realm by way of holding his version of his creation and attempting spiritual contact or experiences for those attending. This is done at haunted locations for those seeking or attempting to experience the spirit realm at the location, be it for personal experiences or as Edward knows, that it is also a form of entertainment for some of the curious who attend. Our event will be at the The event would take place at the The Stag's Head Pub. We'd first have dinner (Menu: Page 1 and Page 2), during which Edward will provide some brief palm readings. Following dinner Edward will provide a tour of the building, including the brothel area and other areas known for their hauntings and you will be allowed to explore each area. Afterward we will gather in one of the areas of the building and Edward will attempt to have the spirits of the location interact with the individuals.
