Ghost in the Museum
By Isaac HartFiction
Ghost in the Museum episodes
- Past Haunts
"Ghost in the Museum" author Isaac Hart discusses tales of ghosts and hauntings at Lancashire manor houses. Almost every ancient building in the county supposedly has a resident ghost, but the history behind these stories and how they came about is often more intriguing than the ghosts themselves.
Recorded Live at Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery on Tuesday 13th January 2026.
