THE COFFIN WORKS REVIEW | 13.03.20

Friday 13th, unlucky for some (definitely for me!) but luckier for those who managed to grab places on the 2nd ever ghost hunt to take place at The Coffin Works Museum in the Jewelry quarter, Birmingham. It was exciting to be back to continue on from our 1st visit and to see what activity we could experience.

Ouija Board : During vigil 2 a male spirit came forward with initials ATM, 64 years old and gave the year 1718 (pre building). The spirit was asked to copy a symbol drawn on paper and this happened but on the board next door! Amazing!
K2 surged to red on command when spirit was asked to give all their energy to say goodbye.
Rob, 56, lost fingers on his right hand in the stamp room

Shop Area /Stamp Room : The names Vera and Alison were picked up during an early vigil in the front (shop) area, with movement devices triggering throughout the night that could not be explained. A very shouty EVP was captured on the side stairs as well as a rempod reacting to a change in energy. A guest experienced back pain and this was also reported by guests in another group unbeknownst to each other.
During the end vigil, the name Ted / Edward was sensed in the stamp room (1915) who did not take a shine to the ladies! He came through via EVP on the stairs. Name was noticed on a poster door when the lights went on at the end of the night.

Shroud Room / Warehouse : A strong EVP which we believe says "(come) help me" was recorded in the Shroud room. The name Michael Bradbury was picked up by a team member, confirmed via a Human Pendulum. 2 spirits were being picked up via Dowsing rods in the Warehouse, one male, one female.
Possible Jane picked up on the last vigil, 18 when she started at the factory.

Thank you to those who took an active part in tonights investigation and helped add additional evidence to this exclusive location. And thank you to the warden for making my day unlucky with a parking penalty notice (that's Friday the 13th for ya!) ... See MoreSee Less

NEWCASTLE CASTLE KEEP REVIEW | 07.03.20

It's been far too long since we last investigated the Castle Keep in Newcastle so it was good to be finally back after 3+ years!

With the chapel and basement of the keep to investigate, as well as middle floors incl. The Great Hall and its many passageways, this 12th Century Grade I listed City Centre location is a fascinating place to visit day or night.

Groups were separated into 3 and soon got stuck into conducting vigils in all areas. Here is a summary of tonights Haunted Evening:

The Great Hall : A Dowsing rod experiment picked up an energy corner where one of the team members sensed a male presence, possibly connected to Religion. Our music box triggered on and off on the internal stairs suggesting movement but as this did not trigger on command, we believe the energy to be residual.
Vigil 2 a female spirit was connected with during a further dowsing rod experiment, a guest sensed her name was Jenna, a spirit from the ground pit area of the keep detected earlier in the evening. During a pendulum a little boy came forward and later, a male, 28, believed to be a guard (very strong energy).
Vigil 3, school mistress, strong responses during a human pendulum with child spirits setting off emf meters on command.

Middle floor : Our ouija board experiments took place here. Vigil 1 detected a male spirit (Peter, aged 23) who died in action. Married to Victoria (aged in her 30's) with whom they had 2 children.
In session 2, a spirit named Samuel came forward and gave 17 when asked what year he was born. Further glass movement suggested other spirits attempted to come forward but made very little sense other than one responding with a 'yes' when asked if they were buried nearby.
In the final session on the Ouija board a child spirit (aged 4) and the mother (aged 36, maid) came forward, spelling the name Bannb when asked for their name. Bob was the name given for her son as well as his father.
Spirit named Brendan (thief) came forward connected to Jenna

Lower level (chapel) : Vigils 1 and 2 both detected spirit voices via our voice recorders, one being a possible laugh, however none clear enough to upload. Possible Brendan and Jenna sensed during vigil 1
Vigil 3 started in the lower chamber adjacent to the chapel before a further EVP session took place in the Chapel. The team played chanting music and this certainly aided a response with EMF meters spiking into life and 2 EVP's playing back 'get them out'

We ended the evening allowing guests free roam to explore the many narrow passageways and roof top to conduct their own mini experiments.

Thank you to the team who travelled up to investigate this former Keep and a special thank you to tonights guests who got fully involved from start to finish making tonights Haunted Evenings event a pleasure to be a part of. ... See MoreSee Less

BRIGHTON POLICE CELLS REVIEW | 29.02.20

Fascinating return visit down to Brighton last night as a new set of guests took to investigating a favourite of ours, Brighton Police Cells Museum.
Some of the highlights:
The name Dave came through twice during 2 seperate human pendulum experiments, neither group nor team were aware of the others findings.
A class EVP saying "I'm a prisoner" when asked for them to confirm if they were an officer or prisoner.
EMF meters triggering in the court room as well as a music box that triggered in direct response to asking for spirit to sit in the judges chair!
Thank you to all who attended, you're input made all the difference and the energy was felt throughout. To the team too, thank you so much for your support.... We shall be back in June, until then, goodnight Brighton! ... See MoreSee Less

CHARLTON HOUSE EVENT SUMMARY | 28.02.20

The team headed South last night and returned to a 17th Century Jacobean Mansion in Greenwich, London. Charlton House is a fantastic building and one we have investigated a few times over the years. Once again our investigation concluded that the library was the main hotspot activity wise, with rempods, EMF meters and a vibe pod going off command (during both vigils). A possible EVP captured the name Alan mid investigation and a guests thoughts of the name Alfred were backed up by someone watching a live feed! Unbeknownst to each other!
Footsteps were heard by 3 people in the long oak gallery (that couldn't be explained) as well as activity reported during one of 2 ouija sessions.
Thank you to those who joined us last night and made the night a pleasure to be apart of. Onwards now to Brighton! See you all there! ... See MoreSee Less

THE OAK HOUSE MUSEUM REVIEW | 14.02.20

Whilst it's fair to say West Bromwich might not be most peoples first choice for a romantic valentines location, tucked away within West Broms suburbia is a stunning 400 year old tudor building that is easy to fall in love with!. With several rooms to investigate, this olde charmer of a building was a beautiful location to spend time investigating last night!.

As per usual we split guests down into groups, all in turn spending time conducting vigils in the main parlour, kitchen, servants quarters and infamous master bedroom.

Tonights evidence was gentle, but fascinating nevertheless. Ghostly voices, albeit muffled, were captured in the upper bedrooms, with at one point 2 K2 (EMF meters) triggering on command when we we asked if we were welcome in the building. One guest felt pain in her side and when speaking afterwards to the keyholder, this has occurred on previous investigations!
In a later vigil, K2's triggered twice on command in the exact same room where earlier, a female (maid, 1700's, with 1 child) was detected from spirit via a Human Pendulum experiment.

Our Ouija boards made connections with spirit energy from the location, believed to be connected to the building. Activity heightened when the name William was mentioned, which is a name connected with the building. One amazing highlight was a REMPOD triggering in the doorway to the servants bedroom when spirit was asked to enter the room. It triggered on command which was amazing!

We'll add any further evidence to our website blog but in the meantime, thank you to all who attended this special night on our return visit to The Oak House ... See MoreSee Less

RUTHIN JAIL EVENT SUMMARY | 08.02.20

Time certainly flies by and it's been 4 years since we last walked in the footsteps of the former inmates at Ruthin Gaol so it was fantastic to finally get around to revisiting this 1800's County jail over in Wales last night!.

Guests had access to the main prison block with a number of cells to investigate, as well as the former jail kitchen. We investigated the building using an array of techniques, attempting communication via traditional methods as well as through an abundance of paranormal equipment. Some of the highlights were : orbs seen with the naked eye, voices (EVPS) captured, Emf meters triggering on command, keys rattling, footsteps heard, something hitting the railings above and the sense of being watched! Cold spots and the feeling of unwell.

As always, the investigations are always made so much more fun when surrounded by a great bunch of guests and last night was no exception! Thanks to all who travelled to Ruthin and got stuck in to the various experiments. A huge thank you also to last nights team for stepping in and supporting the event. ... See MoreSee Less

Dusting down and bringing out of retirement this rare piece of kit for tonights event as one of our lovely guests wishes to try it! I did warn her it has a tendancy to spell out foliage, diaper, highway and demon (usually in good old English establishments) and low and behold, 3rd word in my kitchen is demon! Gotta laugh! I do love the array of gadgets that can be used on investigations and the Ovilus III is certainly a special toy! However rare, there's a reason this is retired from general use! Lets see what this olde gent comes out with later! 🤪 ... See MoreSee Less

NATIONAL EMERGENCY MUSEUM SHEFFIELD REVIEW | 01.02.20

If only we could set off the sirens to help shout about this place we would! This magnificient Victorian building in Sheffield is a fascinating time capsule for the emergency services. With original police cells, fire station, former bedrooms, old stable block all to explore and all crammed with memorabilia (including many unexpecting mannequins lurking!), it is little wonder this location is a firm favourite amongst the team! You can just sense the history from the moment you walk in!

Last night was our 3rd visit here and once again, guests were split into 3 groups to head off and investigate all areas. This location has so many rooms to explore, it's hard to cover all areas in the alloted time!

Ouija boards (Activity Room) -
1. 14 year old boy named William, possibly hanged himself in the cells area. Guest experienced neck pains and being pushed whilst another felt a cold breeze from his leg up to his neck area. The name Alim was sensed, 7 children. Prostitute, raped and murdered by "the gaffer". A light anomaly was also captured by a guest on video.
2. A personal connection was made during vigil 2 as well as the sound of dragging on the floor and a guest feeling like they had been prodded in the back.

Controlled kit Vigil (old stable block and police cells) -
1. Movement devices triggered in the end cell simultaneously and an EVP played back a word that was spoken prior to the recording. Rempod triggered at the far end of the police cells corridor.
2. Male spirit was connected with (during a human pendulum) in his 50's passed from heart problems. A class A EVP was captured in the cell area which can be heard saying " I don't like it, get me out of here". A glass in a cabinet was seen to move.
3. A female spirit, during a further human pendulum, was connected with. A prostitute locked up in one of the cells who had also come forward during an earlier vigil (Alim). Bitterly icy cold spots were felt during this vigil. Spirits William and "the gaffer" were also connected with.

Equipment / lone vigils (former fire station communial areas - upper floors) -
1. A guest experienced the sense of being touched at the back of the old Fire station area and dowsing rods detected energy spots on the ground floor. On the upper floor, a female medic was sensed by a team member which was verified by the location staff.
2. A female (child) spirit (possible name Molly) was sensed by more than one person during lone vigil time.
Upper floor bedroom an EVP was heard on playback swearing after guests asked for the spirits favourite swear word.
3. Shouty style EVP's captured during the last vigil, one which suggests "get back - help me" and a further "get out". This seems to be a possible connection to a dominant male. A further EVP "I see you, climbing up that" was captured in an upper floor bedroom

Thank you to everyone who attended last nights event and to the team who headed into Sheffield in force to help bring forward some cracking paranormal experiences! Guest photos will be posted up later today.

We will be back to this location for Halloween so keep an eye out later in the year for ticket releases! ... See MoreSee Less
