I read about this on my local news website, so I just had to share the story and write a little article about it to help with the promotion as it’s a great project.

Paranormal writer and podcaster Michele Marie Liddle is leading an exciting new project to create the Northumberland Haunted Museum in the seaside town of Amble, UK.

This isn’t going to be your typical “jump-out-at-you” scare attraction. Instead, Michele wants the museum to celebrate the eerie history, ghost stories and folklore that make Northumberland so fascinating.

While the museum will naturally explore paranormal phenomena, its focus is broader than just the supernatural. Michele’s vision is to blend Northumberland’s culture, folklore and history along with its haunting tales, creating a welcoming space where people can learn about the county’s past as well as its hauntings.

Northumberland has a deep well of history, from ancient castles to historic inns, and with it comes a wealth of spooky tales.

Rather than letting those stories fade with time, the museum aims to preserve them for locals and visitors alike. It will offer a home for folklore, artefacts, and personal accounts of the unexplained, honouring both history and heritage.

Though Michele does not have a location for the museum as yet, when open, the Northumberland Haunted Museum is planned to be over two floors and will likely include heritage displays showcasing local legends and supernatural tales, guided storytelling tours and folklore talks, interactive events that celebrate Northumberland’s history with a spooky twist and the second floor will be dedicated to paranormal research and investigations.

Michele has already purchased a number of artefacts to go on display, and some other artifacts have been donated to her. These include haunted dolls and also a mirror from the Amble Masonic Hall that people have reported feeling sick around.

There has been a crowd funding page set up with a target of £25,000 and the hope is for the museum to be open by early summer this year. All donations will go to towards purchasing the premises, decorating, fit out and buying artifacts.

Good luck to Michele. I do hope the targets are met and the museum becomes a reality soon.
