Ghost Hunts Courts, Prisons, Gaols

27 September 09:03 am

It was great to be back out again investigating last night and we were joined by a fabulous bunch of masked up and raring to go guests!
Our home for the (Haunted) evening was Abington House Museum, once an old Manor dating back to the 1500’s, by the late Victorian era it was used as the city’s mental asylum. It’s historic layers certainly lend itself nicely for a paranormal gathering, albeit a socially distanced gathering of course!

The investigation brought together a line of subtle yet constant flow of unexplained/paranormal activity for all groups, many EVP’s were captured as well as equipment triggering and personal experiences reported. To read the full summary of last night's event, please check out our blog.

The building was amazing and I could not have asked for a better group to work with!

A personal shout out to Group 2. You guys were amazing to work with and really got involved, and got some great results, so thank you! I hope the very loud shout at the end of the night didn't frighten you too much for your journey home 😀👻

Had a great night, thank you so much 😊

THE SKIRRID INN REVIEW | 18.09.20
What an active night at The Skirrid Inn! The team hopped across the border into Wales to return to this 12th century gem, the oldest pub in Wales.

The Skirrid Inn once acted as a local court and it is believed that some unfortunates who were found guilty of their crimes, were sentenced to death by hanging here. A replica noose hangs from the upper stairwell down to the ground floor as a stark reminder of this pubs sinister side.

Tonight's investigation produced some phenomenal experiences amongst the groups including some mindblowing voice recordings and made this a night to remember!

H I G H L I G H T S

Shadows were seen, equipment triggered and voices were captured in Bedroom 1. During one vigil a male spirit was sensed who we believe was hanged nearby for stealing sheep. When questioned, a voice replied "lying" and "hanged" was picked up via voice recordings. This was confirmed on 2 separate recorders simultaneously and was so clear it left us speechless!

An EMF meter lit up in response to Gaelic music played for a little girl sensed in spirit in bedroom 2. K2's, which were lined up on the floor, lit up on request, one guest became heavy headed whilst another burst into tears.

One guest spent time on his own in bedroom 3 and reported that the wardrobe door opened by itself on request.

EVP's were on fire tonight, picked up in various areas of the Inn with many impressively clear! A male voice was captured mocking those investigating the bottom of the stairs as well as a 'Frank' captured in the bar and a possible"1770" evp in bedroom 2. Maybe with recent lockdown restrictions the spirits were just grateful to have their voices heard?...we certainly heard them in abundance!

Thank you to all who joined us at The Skirrid, we loved every minute of investigating with you and it was good to be out again after dark! ... See MoreSee Less

Drakelow Tunnels Summary | 29.08.20

So after an unexpected 5ish months off, the Haunted Evenings team were finally reunited tonight marking our first post-lockdown public event! What better location to practise social distancing than Drakelow Tunnels nr Kidderminster?!...3.5 miles worth of tunnels to spread out in, to be exact!

The evening got off to a great start with all 3 groups experiencing unexplained activity, all with quite similar results despite investigating 3 very seperate areas simultaneously!. Rempods (which detect fluctuations in EMF) lit up for all 3 groups, with 2 going off on command in the old decaying canteen area by a possible male and female spirit presence (one guest reported seeing a shadow) and vibe pods (detecting movement) occuring in all group areas being investigated. Voices captured on our recorders came through quite clearly, with an impressive 'help me' close to the baseroom captured by group 3 and a 'get out' and 'goodbye' (requested by the group) down near the old buriel quarters (group 1). The name Richard and/or Edward possibly detected by a recording.

Later on into the evening, groups went off to investigate other areas with some interesting results. During a Human Pendulum exercise, a young female spirit was crossed over by team member Andy. An agitated male spirit effected 2 people with neck pain and when carrying out a voice recording, audible groaning was picked up via EVP.
Guests also took time out from controlled vigils to wander the vast tunnels alone, with one guest capturing an unexplainable electric blue coloured haze that couldn't be debunked!.

Thank you to all that joined us tonight with a special thank you to those guests who had patiently waited for this event after it was (covid) cancelled earlier in the year! ... See MoreSee Less

THE COFFIN WORKS REVIEW | 13.03.20

Friday 13th, unlucky for some 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. ... See MoreSee Less

Your hub is far too small, take a photo and show people! Chairs far too close together.

Loved every minute of it. Even when in the shop I was given a baby to hold and my face changed in to a mask. My hands were so ice cold too.

Was the building used for anything other than the construction of empty coffins ??

Really enjoyed it thank you x

Another good night looking forward to the next 👻

Get out kept coming up, maybe a sign to leave them alone

Places for 20? Just put me off I won't be booking with these again...I will be looking into their history

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
