Reported Ghosts

Over the years, The Mansion House Ghost Hunt has become a must for those seeking to explore real haunted locations in Cardiff. Guests and staff have consistently reported chilling encounters that suggest something – or someone – still lingers within these elegant walls.

Many visitors have described seeing shadow figures moving silently across the upper corridors, often disappearing the moment they are noticed. Others report the unnerving sound of phantom footsteps, particularly on the grand staircase, when no one else is nearby.

One of the most frequent and unsettling claims is the unexplained scent of cigarette smoke in rooms that have been closed for hours and where smoking has long been prohibited. These occurrences often coincide with sharp temperature drops and feelings of being watched – classic signs noted in paranormal investigations.

Whispers in empty rooms, cold spots without explanation, and the sense of not being alone make Mansion House one of the most active haunted sites in the city. These spine-tingling reports are exactly why this location is now firmly on the map for anyone looking to experience a ghost hunt in Cardiff.

Whether you’re a sceptic or a seasoned paranormal enthusiast, Mansion House offers a rare opportunity to explore one of South Wales’ most elegant – and most haunted – buildings after dark.

Venue History

Long before it became the focus of The Mansion House Ghost Hunt, this striking building stood as a symbol of power and prestige in the heart of Cardiff. Built in 1896 for James Howell, the renowned founder of Cardiff’s Howells department store, Mansion House was originally known as The Grove. Its grand Neo-Baroque design and dual entrances reflected the wealth and architectural ambition of the era.

In 1913, the building was acquired by Cardiff Corporation and served as the official residence of the Lord Mayor until 1971. Though once filled with elegant dinners and civic functions, Mansion House has developed a haunted reputation that tells a very different story.

Today, the building is no longer just a venue for weddings and council events – it’s known as one of the most actively haunted locations in Cardiff, making it a prime destination for those seeking a ghost hunt in South Wales. Many believe that the energies of its political past and personal histories have left a lingering spiritual imprint within its walls.

From unexplained noises to apparitions and reports of a heavy, watchful presence on the upper floors, the haunted history of Mansion House continues to grow with every overnight investigation. Participating in The Mansion House Ghost Hunt means walking in the footsteps of Cardiff’s elite – and perhaps encountering some of them who never truly left…
