The cast of TOWIE get well and truly spooked!
Tonight the glamorous cast of TOWIE along with ghostly investigator Yvette Fielding visited the terrifying Coalhouse Fort. Situated in East Tilbury, Essex, the eerie Victorian Coastal Defence Fort was built in 1874, holds over 600 years worth of military history and is a far cry from TOWIE’s everyday haunts such as Minnie’s boutique and the Sugar Hut Village Nightclub. The hysteria began to build between the group which consisted of Mark Wright; James “Arg” Argent; Sam Faiers; Amy Childs; Harry Derbidge and “the reemest of them all” Joey Essex when Yvette led them through the terrifying tunnels of the Coalhouse Fort.

With the lights still on at this point, Arg was selected by Yvette to investigate some “strange noises” and until that moment portrayed himself as the dominant alpha-male. Peering nervously around the full-lit corners, Arg really tried not to look scared as he ventured off without the rest of the group. Before Yvette had led the Scoobies onto their first location of the night Amy and Sam began to get the jitters as Amy screamed out; “Oh my god! Something just pulled my hair extensions!” Luckily they were still intact by the end of the night.

As the group entered their first spooky location of the night, the Fort’s War Museum, Yvette pointed out that spirits of dead WW1 and 2 soldiers often haunt the museum as they become reconnected with the historic artifacts. The crew then began to wonder whether there were German soldiers also haunting the Museum. With ghostly grenades being flung at them, Yvette decided to lead them (blindfolded no less) to their next destination of the night.
Blindfolded and unaware of where they were being led, the Essex divas found themselves in the Seance Room. Sitting around a round table and trying to make contact with the ghostly entities, Yvette decided to up the ante and split up the group. She sent Mark and Amy out first to find their way out of the tunnels with nothing but a torch to guide them. As the pair nervously crept their way around the labyrinth Amy became hysterical when she claimed that something was repeatedly touching the back of her leg. Mark then became unnerved when he claimed something had touched his bum. Typical!

The last destination of the night saw the terrified team being led into the most active area of the Coalhouse Fort, The Washrooms. A very angry and nasty tempered ghost nicknamed “Harry” by the Fort’s staff, dwells in the washroom and hates the presence of anyone who may come calling. According to Yvette, Arg had been the cockiest of the night and as punishment she strapped him to a chair to see what discoveries he could make alone.
While Arg was left to his make his own scary encounters the rest of the gang endured lightbulbs bursting, stones being thrown at them and chairs being hurled up and down the passage ways. Yvette, ever the antagonist, tried to encourage more ghostly activity by taunting the angry ghoul. With the pestered poltergeist on full form Amy and Harry then decide they’ve had enough and leave to join psychologist Professor Geoffrey Beattie for a update on the nights frightening encounters. Huddled together the remaining lot then endured the worst case of contact the group had received and with that Yvette decided to get the group the safety after Joey was struck in the face. His profile did however remain intact.

The TOWIE night of ghost hunting was a success with the cast stating they enjoyed the experience very much; Sam even wanted to go back in for more! The cynical Mark and Arg left the Coalhouse Fort with brand new perspectives, definitely believing in things that go bump in the night; not including Mark Wright’s head-board that is!
