Win a night at 30 East Drive

Take part in the Big Issue’s competition to WIN an overnight stay for four people in the UK’s most haunted house.

In 1966 the Pritchard family moved into 30 East Drive, Pontefract, and soon began experiencing years of severe poltergeist activity — from mid-air dust, spontaneous pools of water and flying furniture to mocking “exorcism” pranks — centred mainly on daughter Diane and remembered today as one of Britain’s most unusual and persistent haunting cases.

The living room in 30 East Drive. One of the many rooms where poltergeist activity has been witnessed.

30 East Drive, Pontefract IS NOT a traditional guesthouse, Hotel, B&B or party venue – and the owner recommends that you DO NOT visit, especially if you are of a nervous disposition or have a heart condition.

The owner himself has never spent the night there, and has no intention of doing so any time soon, having personally witnessed ‘It’.

And you and three friends can spend a whole night there! This amazing prize is courtesy of 30 East Drive. For more information about 30 East Drive visit: 30 East Drive

One winner randomly selected from all entries received and will be notified via email.

Competition closes: Midnight on the 5th of November
