The Museum of Psychic Experience operated from 2004 until its closing in 2007, whereupon it was reborn as "Haunted" at the same location.
Haunted itself closed down in August 2014.
SOURCE: https://www.yorkmix.com/haunted-to-close-astrologer-gives-up-the-ghost-on-spooky-attraction/... Daily Mail astrologer Mr Cainer previously sold his horoscopes from the shop.
He joined forces with his friend Uri Geller, the international mind- and spoon-bender, to relaunch it as the Museum Of Psychic Experience in May 2004.
Visitors originally paid £15 for a tour through “mind-opening experiments, providing a personal encounter of psychic power and potential”.
One such experiment took place in the Water Room where people were transmitting negative thoughts to one glass of water, and positive ones to another. The water was then to be frozen and the ice crystals analysed in Japan for any differences. ...
Visitors were tested for their ability to be see into the future, encouraged to try to move objects by the power of their minds and invited to sit in the “aura” chair to see their psychic aura reproduced in colourful lights.
TV psychic Derek Acorah filmed an episode of Ghost Towns Live at 35 Stonegate in January 2006. He was apparently strangled and tipped over the back of a chair by a lively spirit.
In February 2007 the Psychic Museum closed its doors after Mr Cainer revealed only 100 people a week were going through its doors.
It was later reborn as Haunted – “York’s most haunted house” where tourists can pay £7 for tours of the Mask Room, Lantern Room (haunted by a balding monk), Seance Room and more.
