Fort Horsted ghost hunt 23rd November 2013
Area: 10
Equipment: KII’s, Ghost Pro’s, Dowsing Rods, Pendulums, Writing Planchette
We started by turning on the ghost pro’s & KII. Immediately the ghost pro lit up. We established the spirit was a male soldier. The guests started using the pendulums & rods, and were surprised by the movement, feeling sure they weren’t doing it. They would swing, vibrate, rotate and move on request. We then tried the writing planchette, and whilst asking for spirit to move the pen, Victoria (guest) got pushed to her right. Then to her surprise her legs got pushed away underneath her, causing her to nearly fall down. And whilst this was happening the planchette started lifting up one side. I stepped away from the table and the planchette continued lifting up, and then I felt someone touch my bum which made me jump and look behind me. With our session nearly up, we said goodbye to the spirit, and with that he wrote the letter “b” on the paper. We took this as “bye”.
With the second session we all started by using the ghost pro, pendulums & rods. With a spare set of rods I used them too. Once establishing my yes/no we communicated with the spirit; a male soldier, same spirit as on the earlier session, and also the same spirit that I had encountered in the hanging room on a previous ghost hunt at the fort. His name was Rob, was married, his wife was in the room with us, had no children, passed at the fort age 33 in 1867. We asked where he was standing and the rods pointed to behind me. We then tried the writing planchette, encouraging spirit to move it for the next few minutes. We then heard a noise in the corner of the room, Emma (guest) felt a touch on her back and then the planchette started moving. Louise (guest) had an animal suddenly in her head, asking her not to tell us we asked spirit to draw the animal. The pen started moving all over the paper. We asked spirit to lift the planchette up when he had finished drawing – it did so we looked at the picture, which resembled a rabbit – Louise had bugs bunny! Then the planchette started lifting up again and the spirit seemed to want to play. It continued to draw randomly. With our session coming to an end we asked for a noise as a sign, and we heard a footstep in the corridor.
With my third group again we started with the rods & pendulums, and Sean had joined me to film this time. The guests were able to ask spirit to move the pendulums and rods in many different ways, to which it responded. We then tried the writing planchette and had some slight movement, then just has it started moving up & down the camera battery died with 40 minutes left. The planchette didn’t move anymore, but we were hearing noises around us, and guests were feeling touches.
My fourth group started by using the rods & pendulums and were surprised by the movement, to their request. We were hearing noises around us, and some guests were feeling touches. Footsteps were heard all around us in the room. We tried to get some movement on the writing planchette, and it did move slightly, and lifted up once at the end. Throughout all our hands were icy cold.
With an hour left for the guests to enjoy the free session, Jo & I joined some guests in the hanging room. The spirit that stepped forward was Thomas who had been with Jo in this room throughout the evening. He was able to move the spring Ouija in many different ways, often to the guest’s request. We stayed here filming until the end – great night!
