FORT HORSTED GHOST HUNT 6th June 2013
Carl & I were in the Hanging Room for tonight, and with our first group we passed around the Ghost Pro’s and KII’s for the guests to use, explaining how they all detect spirit. We had activity on the Ghost Pro’s within a few minutes, initially we had a female spirit, then a male. After a short while of guests asking the questions to spirit, we decided on holding a séance circle. We had some swaying within the circle, and may have heard some whistles, but couldn’t establish where they came from. We broke hands as no more activity, and all guests had the opportunity to explore with kit. One guest whilst standing next to the area where someone was reputedly hanged, had some strong KII activity. One of the guests whilst walking along a tunnel felt claustrophobic. Another guest commented on seeing on the Ghost Adventures programme the spirit box being used, so for 10 minutes we used this, but no voices came through.
For our second group, again we had activity on the Ghost Pro and some KII lights. We detected two male spirits, a British and French soldier. We then tried the Ouija table and had some gentle glass movement, but no communication. We asked spirit with the Ghost Pro if they were able to move the table, and encouraged by a yes we tried this. The table started rocking gently, and a tap was heard under the table. The guests then wanted to try the glass on the Ouija table again, and they had movement immediately with communication; Male – Bobby – age 82 – here in 1918. The spirit also spelt one of the guests name “Adam” to his surprise. The spirit then seemed to want to have fun, so the guests asked for shapes, circle, bigger circle, faster, and stop and change direction – and the spirit was able to move the glass to the guests request every time when asked. The spirit also took the glass to the edge of the table to show where he was standing – which was to Adam’s right. The glass continued moving around the table, twisting under the guest’s fingers, even when they all had the side of their fingers on the glass. And whilst Carl was filming he had a stone thrown on his leg, by his left knee, looking down on the floor there were several stones, and one a little bit larger which could have been the one.
Taking our third group to the Hanging Room, we had very high KII activity as soon as we walked into the room. On walking into the room almost everyone felt uneasy, sick, dizzy, headaches, tightness of chest with difficulty breathing, and a sickness in the chest. Myself & Carl felt a very different atmosphere from before. We had our new team member Jo with us this time, and as a medium she was able to say who she sensed was in the room with us. It was a male spirit, called Malcolm, and was hanged in this room. He was very sad, had lost his family, and took his own life. We tried to communicate with him on the Ouija table but although had little movement on the glass, no specific words. We tried some table movement, and the table rocked quite fast, not leaving the ground but fast enough to rotate the table slightly. Asking if the spirit needed our help to pass over, he promptly left, Jo sensing he was punishing himself by staying here. We all stood in the room for a little bit longer, and Jo was able to sense another spirit with us. A man in a grey/blue uniform – Sergeant Rogers – tall with dark short hair, and very dark eyes, slightly evil looking, but not an evil person. Had an air of authority about him. He wore very shiny shoes, and was from 1914. He didn’t particularly like Carl, said he didn’t respect him. Perhaps he was the spirit that had pushed Carl in this room on previous times. Feeling this was the case, Carl stood in the corner where Sergeant Rogers was standing, asking for him to move him again. Whilst standing there Carl felt like someone was tugging at his belt, looking around each time, no-one was near him.
Again a great night at Fort Horsted.

Fort Horsted ghost hunt 8th June 2013
Chatham, Kent
As a team we always look forward to our ghost hunts at Fort Horsted, as many of us have had some very unique experiences as well as our guests. We were also hoping that some of the things that happened during out previous visit on 18th May would happen again. The full investigation team were also in attendance so we have some video footage of the nights’ activities.
I started in my favourite area of the fort, it is also the furthest walk through some of the spookiest tunnels.
We were joined by a female spirit energy who I have seen before at this fort, and a male spirit energy who I have not seen before. The female spirit was called Annie, a nurse. The male spirit called Christopher was aged in his mid-30s about 5’9” in height and quite chubby.
The session started with some communication via our electronic devices, although no discernible activity was seen on our KII (EMF) meters. After starting a séance to prove to the guests that the spirit were indeed with us, I asked for people arms to be moved, which seemed to take a while, but once it started the spirits were able to easily move peoples arms, which the guests found perplexing and slightly scary. The arms of the guests were moved on command and at various times pointed to different people as well as pulling some people down by their arms. Throughout this session lots of strange banging sounds were heard by everyone and many guests saw shadows in the door way and the corridor beyond. I also asked that people be swayed or pushed by the spirits and it didn’t take long before many people felt like they were on a boat and Adam (guest) got pulled backwards a lot. I finished the session early because another male energy came into the room and he wasn’t a nice person. The only information I could get out of him was his name; Tom.
After the séance I conducted an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena a.k.a. ghost voice) experiment and although there were lots of possible ghost voices in the recordings, only two have been confirmed by our experts. You can hear these at:-
http://youtu.be/eT8QBSBBw4w
http://youtu.be/7YYveHUQ1Ik
The Second group, I also brought to this same area and once again both Annie & Christopher were both present, the nasty male energy thankfully was not.
Once again after I asked for arm movement, the spirit obliged and very quickly started to move everyone that they could, however there was also some strangeness to this as many people had their chins rubbed by the hands of other guests, why I don’t really know. Also when asking for the spirit to push or pull people many guests felt the same sensations as the first. We all felt the pulling down sensation although it was not as strong as what happened to the first group.
The Third group that ventured here had much the same activity although Nick (guest) had more activity than anyone else as the spirit energies took a liking to him and pushed, pulled and swayed him throughout the session. We were also joined by a third spirit energy called David; a Second World War soldier in his late 20s.
Once again a very active and exciting ghost hunt with the guests getting lots of paranormal experiences.

Fort Horsted ghost hunt 18th May 2013
Chatham, Kent
Fort Horsted is one of our favourite locations, not least because we have investigated here numerous times and had some truly amazing results; it is always entertaining and amazing for one reason or another. This time was no different, although equally strange as no-one could have expected what turned out to be a first for us.
Everyone was split into two groups, which was somewhat larger than normal because one of our GHE team could not attend. However since we know the Fort extremely well this did not deter me & Carl from taking the guests to the most active areas. We also chose two areas that we the furthest from each other so that no noise from either group would affect the other.
The area that I chose is an area which we often hear and feel much the same sort of stuff time after time. We were joined by Annie a female nurse aged in her 20s from The First World War who was stationed at the Fort and a 1960s male spirit who was about 50 years old and quite grumpy.
I started with a séance, as this is the best way for the guests to get a physical experience. Arm movement started to occur quite quickly and usually on command, the guests could ask which way their arms should move in their heads and the spirit would comply. I also had several KII (EMF) meters in the room which also showed spiritual activity. Many whistles, bangs and mumbling voices were heard throughout the séance, which is actually quite normal in this area. One guest felt a touch on their head. When I suggested that guests hold out their hands in a particular area of the room so that Annie could touch them, those guests that participated could feel strange tingling sensations and that their hands were being squeezed and touched and in some cases people felt that their fingers were being pulled apart.
The second group to this area were also treated to the same spirit energies and once again lots of arm movement on command was felt by the guests, as well as lots of more physical movements some of which looked painful, especially as guests were moved in ways which they wouldn’t either choose to move or wouldn’t move as they know it would be painful.
We also moved to an upper room during this session and came across a spirit called Simon who was about 20 years old and smartly dressed. In this room we heard some odd sounds, which I likened to hearing a conversation that we couldn’t hear the words, just the sound of a conversation.
We advised the guests that after the controlled sessions they could venture off on their own, but many didn’t want to so essentially we carried on with controlled sessions and I joined a group doing a Ouija board experiment. The spirit energy was Welsh called something unpronounceable although was happy to be called Caddy. Caddy had difficulty in spelling although he was able to answer some simple Yes or No questions, but the majority of his responses just kept going to the letters G and O “GO”
I took a lot of guests, probably the majority to the Counterscarp Galleries, however very little happened because there were too many people making lots of noise, however one guest did hear her name being called out, which she thought was her friends, but they were with me and neither of them called out.
The stand out moment of the night didn’t happen with me, but happened with Carl in one of the magazine rooms, as the guests were randomly taking pictures, one of them thought that their picture contained a face, so then everyone in that group took a picture and many of them, not all, had photographed a face on the wall. Carl was keen to rule out Pareidolia so looked at the wall and rubbed any loose dust from the wall. Nothing could be seen when he stood in front of the wall, but when he stood back and some more photos were taken, the face could easily be seen and photographed. Below is the picture taken by the guest and we have circled the area to look at.
Photo from ghost hunt taken by Hannah Bune
I too investigated this phenomenon and have several photographs and I don’t really have a credible explanation for this, as we have hundreds of photos and videos from this Fort and of this room and we have never seen anything like this. If indeed it is a pareidolia effect then surely we would be able to all see it all the time. Which was not the case on the night.
Several EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena a.k.a. ghost voice) experiments were undertaken throughout the night, but unfortunately nothing audible, or clearly audible could be heard in the recordings. In all of the possible EVP’s, we can hear the start of a response, but the background noise or noise made by a guest talking or shuffling ruins the possible EVP. Which is a shame as we have had many great EVP’s recorded at Fort Horsted.
All in all this was a great ghost hunt, with lots of physical and unexplainable paranormal activity felt by the guests throughout the night.

Fort Horsted ghost hunt 16th March 2013
Chatham, Kent
Sean & I took our first group of 10 guests into the back area of the fort, and split in two with Sean taking 5 guests to Room 36 and me taking 5 guests to the Hanging Room. After an explanation of how the kit works we started by asking out for spirit to step forward and make themselves known to us. Immediately we had activity on the Ghost Pro’s and KII. Sean started his group with a séance circle and almost straight away guests were having swaying and arm movement, and often when the guests asked how to be moved the spirit responded to their amazement. My group tried some glass movement on the Ouija table but had no response. After 30 mins we swapped the guests over, and my second group started with Ouija table. They had no movement on the glass but the table rocked once. We took this as a sign that the spirit wanted to move the table and not the glass. The table started with gentle rocking and with encouragement from the guests the table started rocking quickly. When spirit was asked to stop – the table stopped immediately, when asked to re-start it did. Guests wanted the table to spin around but the spirit found a unique way of doing this, by rapidly rocking the table until it started moving around in a circle. The guests then asked for the table to be tipped up, which spirit did, however for a few minutes it balanced almost at a right angle until it fell to the ground. At this point our time was up and we returned for a break. Sean’s second group had only Ghost Pro activity.
Our second session followed the same as before, but not much activity that time.
Next all guests had the opportunity to choose where to go, and Sean and I took some guests to Casement 26. Some of the guests felt uneasy in this area, and didn’t stay too long, however we did have Ghost Pro and KII activity. Sean & I were then joined by five more guests, and we started with a séance circle. All seven of us had arm movements and swaying immediately. All our fists met in the middle of the circle, and would be moved to where we wanted at request. We used this opportunity to ask the spirit some questions, we felt that as this group of guests seemed to have been followed by the same energy all night it could be a relative. We asked the question “If you are a relative to this people could all our arms be moved up together” the response was all our arms being moved up. One of the guests thought it could be her nan, we asked for all our fists to be touching again if yes, and all our hands met in the middle. The guest thought her granddad was also with us. We then let the spirit(s) move us in whichever way they chose. This was followed by arms being moved up down and in almost every position you could think of. All of us being pulled to the ground then up again. I looked across at one guest who was in a ‘superman’ position. Sean was being stretched with his arms out at the side as far as he could go. Four more guests joined us, the activity continued but mainly to the original guests and team members. We were also hearing noises, 3 loud booms, voices/talking, and when we asked spirit to copy our whistle we all heard a clear response. The movement in the circle continued, focussing mainly on Sean and the original five guests. They were being pushed in very uncomfortable positions and when we asked spirit to stop and return people to standing positions spirit were kind enough to oblige. The guest to my left (Gavin) also felt a finger poke him in his side. I said I thought I had felt myself being poked a moment before. Gavin had also being filming earlier and was surprised that his battery had drained very quickly.
Our time was up so after thanking spirit for their efforts, we returned to the comfort and warmth of the base room. Great night….

FORT HORSTED 8th December 2012
Group B
Our first group of guests were very nervous, this being their first ghost hunt. We started with a séance circle to help calm everyone’s nerves – it helped a little. Marc was sensing spirit behind him, and odd noises were heard, one being a wing fluttering noise several times. We checked with Paul the Manager and he confirmed it could have been a bat (although a bat in flight seldom makes a sound). We then tried the ouija board and had some glass movement. Guests were getting cold breezes on their faces, and when everyone was touching the glass or writing planchette it felt very warm around their hands. On the Ovilus we asked spirit to give their name and we heard “Steve Birkett” – “February” – “Date of Birth” – “Gemma” this was a guests name. Throughout we kept hearing noises in the corridor, and at one time a guest and Marc came running back into the room after hearing a loud noise – this turned out to be one of the tenants in a nearby unit revving his car very loudly to let us know he was leaving.
Group C
We started with a séance circle but nothing was happening so we tried the ouija board. Almost immediately one of the guests scarf was moved (vertically, from her abdomen area, upwards, with no one touching the scarf or in close proximity), which was seen by others, and felt by the guest. Again just small movement with the glass. Karen (guest) and myself used the dowsing rods – and to our amazement we had a cross for yes and an open for no shown. We established we had the spirit of a young girl called Emily (a spirit previously known to us on other vigils) with us, and she would move the rods to exactly where we asked. On the Ovilus Marc heard the name “Hetty” which was personal to him. Also during this session everyone kept hearing a dog barking – it is alleged a black dog haunts the tunnels.
Group A
We started with the ouija board but had no glass movement, however Damian (guest) and myself heard a male groan between us, and at that point Marc & guests heard a high pitched female scream in the corridor. We then all went into the opposite room to try a séance circle, except Marc who whilst alone in the room heard a male groan next to him. During the séance guests experienced swaying, with arm movement starting with Damian first. Danielle (guest) and myself were moved next, then Rob (guest) who was also being twisted. We then decided to stop and try table tipping as the guests had had success with this during the previous session in the hanging room. Immediately we had the table lift up towards Linda in response to showing us a “yes”. With encouragement from us we were able to see the table move in many different ways when asked. This was filmed so hopefully there will be some footage to view. Additionally, Marc captured a mist like anomaly, as well as orbs, passing in front of the video camera lense. Other team members sought to debunk this claim, but circumstances prevailing at the time, and actual camera positioning, proximity of others, etc almost, definitely discounts their claims that it was merely breath. Footage available for scrutiny.
Free Session
I had three guests that wanted to return to the Hanging Room where they had table tipping earlier, but wanted to try the ouija board first. We had spirit present giving his name as “Rob” age “33” and passed in “1867”. He also confirmed he was the British Soldier that was with these guests earlier moving the table, but not the spirit present in Room 10. We then stopped with the ouija board and tried table tipping again. This was a little slow to start, but started with tapping under the table. Then with encouragement from us, the table started rocking very quickly. We then established “yes/no” with the table tipping, and was able to confirm this was Rob with us. We were then able to experience some amazing table movement, with the table turning rapidly and sliding across the floor too. Spinning in one direction and when asked to change direction the table would respond. We then wanted to establish where the spirit was standing so with myself pointing all round the room, the table tipped up for yes just to the left of the stairs. I then remembered seeing the spirit of a British Soldier in that same place on a previous night, and when asked if that was him, he tipped the table to confirm “yes”.
Marc’s Free Session
EVP exercises carried out with individual guests whilst others engaged in the Ouija table, but quickly abandoned this idea as they felt extremely uncomfortable without the presence of a team member in the room. Data still to be reviewed and analysed.
Once again an amazing night at Fort Horsted – we all absolutely love this venue and can’t wait to return.

Fort Horsted ghost hunt 8th December 2012
Chatham, Kent
This ghost hunt was the last to take place at Fort Horsted for 2012 and we were hoping that the spirits would make this event special; we and our guests were not disappointed.
Each member of the Ghost Hunt Events team has their favourite location within this fort and although I do not enjoy the stairs (all 192 of them) I do enjoy taking the guests to the counterscarp galleries, as something interesting usually happens to the guests.
My first group were joined by a male energy called Michael who was 27 years old, about 6’ in height and generally well built. Michael gave the year as 1950s when he worked at the Fort as a maintenance man and plumber.
During the séance part of the session Michael was easily able to move the arms of the guests, mainly on command but also into unusual positions as well. Michael also proved that he was standing behind guests by pushing them and pulling them backwards.
Many of the guests felt cold spots and temperature fluctuations around them as well as tingling sensations. Some of the guests felt the full effect of Michael’s attention and swayed these guests in all directions. Some of the time Michael wanted to stroke the chins and faces of guests. Why never became clear.
I asked that Michael should do something different as a finale and although I had an idea (as did everyone) what was going to happen, as all our arms were being manipulated towards the centre of the circle like the musketeers “all for one” salute. Then out of nowhere we all were pushed to the right in a circular motion.
I then held an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena a.k.a. ghost voice) experiment and guests asked Michael questions about him.
There were several responses but the clearest can be heard at:-
http://youtu.be/rQ8qDIVjm_c
http://youtu.be/oaKPrS3iwjk
The second group to the same area Michael was present again, but this time a female energy called Chloe had also joined us. Chloe was about 5’8” in height, blonde and dressed in a Second World War army uniform. She told me that she was a gunner (Anti-Aircraft) at the Fort during the Second World War.
Once again all the guests were treated to some interesting arm movements, which for the second time that evening mostly on command plus the face and hair stroking that the first group encountered.
This session however there wasn’t much physical movement, although some guests did get pushed and pulled but not to the same extent as the first group.
Many guests reported that they felt numb as the spirit moved them. Shadows were also seen in the doorways and at time we all heard some very strange noises, which we could not fathom.
The third group to the counterscarp galleries felt the spirit energies of both Michael and Chloe. Once again many guests felt their arms being manipulated and for the second time this evening the majority of the guest’s arms were moved to form the “all for one” salute.
Some guests also had the urge to laugh a lot as the spirit energies neared to them. Both Michael and Chloe were responsible for this as well as pushing guests into each other which proved very amusing from our point of view.
At the end of this Séance I held another EVP experiment and once again there were lots of answers to the guests questions but the majority of the answers we (and our experts) could not work out exactly what was being said, however there is one clear answer which can be heard at:-
http://youtu.be/jf13g8kCAzg
After we had completed our controlled sessions the guests were then able to go to any area of the fort that they wished under supervision from us, the majority went to continue with Ouija boards in two distinct areas of the Fort.
I and another team member went off to do our own EVP recordings and although I have nothing yet to show for it, we are still analysing the results as we recorded about 20 EVPs in the space of about 10 minutes. Early indications are that we have some extremely clear answers to our questions, which will be published on the website as soon as we can complete our analysis.
All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the level of spiritual activity was extremely high, we cannot wait to return to Fort Horsted in March 2013.

Fort Horsted ghost hunt 17th November 2012
Chatham, Kent
Ghost Hunt Events as a team always enjoy going to Fort Horsted, as every time we go there something different, amazing or unbelievable happens during the ghost hunt which leaves our guests speechless. The level of activity that we have encountered at this Fort is surprising although we look forward to every event as if it were our first time there.
My first session was in a location the furthest from the other group and although we had sporadic communication via our electronic equipment, I decided that it would be better to hold a séance and ask the spirit present to interact with the guests.
Just after we started a male spirit called Michael stood in the doorway, several guests reported that they too saw a shadow in the doorway. Michael was of West African descent in his late 20s and appeared to be from the 1960s. He also told me that he was a carpenter who would have worked at the Fort at some point, he didn’t give the specifics.
Michael was able to move some of the guests arms but the majority of the time we were all hearing mumblings and whisperings from outside the room, although spirit did copy some of my whistles, which were heard by the guests. Also a lot of loud bangs were heard, although given the nature of the tunnels and that sound travels throughout these tunnels, those bangs could have been anything, although not the other group as they were too far away and not in the same tunnel complex. The whisperings and female voices on the other hand were not originating from the tunnels, but from within the room.
After a while we moved into another tunnel to see if guests felt anything strange, which is often the case however on this occasion none of the guests felt anything, but then we were a large group and the best activity here happens to small groups of people. There was however another male energy called Peter present who was able to answer some questions via our electronic equipment. Also more whistles were heard in this tunnel.
My second session was in exactly the same area, as each group just swapped for the second of our controlled sessions. Once again Michael joined us although no-one reported any movements. However many guests this time around (including me) smelt paint or white spirit which was strange as there would never be anyone painting within these tunnels. Some other guests reported smelling liquorice.
Once again we all heard female voices, mumblings and whispers although not on the same level as the previous group and after moving into the other tunnel, even less happened.
The third session was held in casement 26, which involves walking down an interesting and steep staircase below the dry moat. Whilst I was in this area with the majority of the guests I didn’t feel or sense any spiritual activity, although some guests did have some communication via our electronic equipment with a child energy.
After this final session we allowed our guests to go back to any particular area to experience any activity, although the majority of people wanted to experience the same rooms as each other, apart from three guests who asked me if we could go somewhere else and try to get some good evidence as they hadn’t experienced much all evening. So I took them to an area in which other people were unlikely to interrupt us and held a séance to encourage spirit to join us.
This was probably one of the best sessions I have had at the Fort. A male energy called Sergeant Mitchell joined us, he was 27 years old and Scottish and told me that in the Second World War he would train people at the Fort, but he was then sent to Normandy in France where he died from shrapnel wounds. He instantly liked Phil (guest) and myself because of our Celtic links (Phil is Welsh & I am Cornish) and he started moving all of the guests arms, first gently, then with more purpose as the guests got used to the strange feeling. He was also able to push and pull us usually surprising us as he did so. The guests then asked several questions (some out loud and some in their heads) which Mitchell answered by swaying some people and moving our arms to signify yes and no.
During this session, two other guests found us and whilst we were unable to let them fully join in, as we were being manipulated (by being pushed and pulled) they stood and watched. Becky who was standing nearest to us felt strange tingling pins and needle sensations as Mitchell told me that he was trying to touch her. Audrey (guest) who was part of the séance group felt her bum being touched or caressed. At the end of the séance I asked all the guests to think of a personal question to ask Mitchell as part of our EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena a.k.a. ghost voice) experiment. Many of the questions had some form of response although we have been unable to hear the exact words but three responses (out of six) had audible answers, two of which are very clear. These can be heard at

http://youtu.be/YVZA9La7cCI
http://youtu.be/Ey3a8Q5tBeI
Once again a very enjoyable ghost hunt, although a little slow to start with, but as the night progressed more activity was experienced by the guests, especially when the two large groups split down into smaller groups. The Ouija board sessions were also very active (this will be covered in another team members report).
The ghost hunt events team were all present as we were shooting a promotional video before the ghost hunt.

Fort Horsted ghost hunt 22nd September 2012
Chatham, Kent.
Group B – Hanging Room
As we climbed the stairs and entered the room, I felt there was someone standing in the corner on the left, the guest behind me felt the same. Immediately we had spirit present on the K2’s and Ghost Pro’s. I asked if the spirit had been with us at last week’s ghost hunt – answered yes. We then established it was the French Soldier called Cuet. He was a prisoner at Fort Horsted, and said he was killed in this room. We also had another spirit on the Ghost Pro – a British Soldier from WWII. Asking for spirit to make a noise, we heard a footstep. Guest were also sensing spirit walking around them, with some guests being touched. I asked for spirit to move some of the guests, and some said they had. Dan to my right, myself, and Charlie to my left all felt they being pushed forward. I had placed a ball and motion sensors at the top of the stairs, and although the ball didn’t move the sensors were activated several times. Just as our session came to an end and torches were being turned on, I saw a someone standing against the wall to the left of the stairs with his arms folded, turning my torch on thinking it was a guest, no-one was there. Explaining what I saw, Charlie (guest) said he had seen the same. This was a first for me seeing spirit, and having someone else see the same confirmed I wasn’t imagining it.
Group C – Hanging Room
Again when entering the room we had K2 and Ghost Pro spirit activity immediately. And after a short while of questioning we established we had the same spirit energies as before. I was also able to find out the spirit I had seen before was the British Soldier. We also noticed, we had two Ghost Pro’s in use and the British and French Soldiers always came through on the same one. The British on one and the French spirit on the other. Whilst standing in the room one guest started feeling sick and dizzy. She swapped places with someone else and she started feeling the same, whilst the other guest was feeling better. A third person stood in that area and again felt unwell. We then noticed a warm area where spirit said they were standing, however on the opposite side of the room guests were feeling very cold behind them. We asked spirit to make everyone feel cold, and those that were feeling warm started feeling cold.
Group A – Hanging Room
Again when entering the room we had K2 and Ghost Pro spirit activity immediately, confirming that the same two energies as before were with us. When guests stood in a particular corner of the room they felt unwell, stepping away they felt much better. After 45 minutes guests Graham & Adam wanted to be in the room alone, so I took the remaining guests to the opposite side of the fort. As we were walking there one of the guests looked left into a room and felt an unfriendly male energy looking back at her, her ghost pro lit up and stayed lit up until we got to room 34. We tried to establish who the spirit was but it was inconclusive. Adam & Graham in the meantime had felt uneasy on their own, feeling very cold. They threw a ball onto the floor, which moved, stopped, then started moving again. When asking spirit on the Ghost Pro if they had moved the ball, the answer was yes.
Fort Horsted never disappoints, can’t wait to return.

Fort Horsted ghost hunt 22nd September 2012
Chatham, Kent.
This was our third visit to Fort Horsted in September, the previous two ghost hunts were quite active and all guests had some physical paranormal activity as well as experiences which left them speechless.
We were hopeful that this ghost hunt would be just as productive and we had two guests from the US who saw the Ghost Adventures show back in July and whilst in the UK on holiday decided to attend one of our ghost hunts. Click http://tinyurl.com/8ewbs2q to watch the Ghost Adventures episode at Fort Horsted.
Before we had even started the area at the end of the main tunnel which is an area where many people have experienced strange things, guests and GHE staff saw some strange lights and odd noises coming from the derelict areas of the fort.
I took all groups to casement 26, as this is the most interesting part of the fort, it is also the most strenuous to get to and from. Usually we go into the rooms on the left hand side of the casement but due to two nesting squirrels we used the rooms on the right.
Whilst in this area there were sporadic levels of KII activity but a lot of communication via our electronic equipment. I suggested to a few guests to go into the small room at the back which would have been used to store ammunition. In here there was a male energy called Michael and as people held out their hands he was able to touch them and the guests felt strange sensations in their hands as well as a pins & needles in their fingers.
After joining the bulk of the guests I conducted a séance to try to get the spirit energies that were present to move the guests. Raini (guest) who was standing to my left got the most attention during this as she kept claiming that it was horrible. However the spirit energies were able to move the majority of people’s hands and arms, especially Robyn, Joanne & Graham (guests).
Many times throughout the session everyone heard the sound of talking, whispers and noises which came from the other end of the casement, none of these sounds sounded like two nesting squirrels.
The second group to come to this area were not as brave as the first group; however this did not detract from the level of activity experienced, once again there were high levels of communication via our equipment but less activity on the KII. Odd and strange noises were heard in this area again although they did not sound similar to the noises I heard earlier, these were the sounds of something being hit or dropped.
We were joined by a different male energy, his name was Charlie and he was 53 years old and passed over in 1965. Charlie was a stocky built man about 5’7” in height who was mostly bald except for a small patch at the back of his head. He gave me the impression that he was a carpenter or joiner and that he was a local man who would have worked at the Fort during the 1950s.
Charlie was able to move the hands of the majority of the guests and push or pull some of the guests which all seemed to happen with little warning.
The third group were petrified as soon as we entered the room, some of them looked like that had already seen a ghost!
The spirit activity encountered by this group was a lot less that previous groups, but there was some communication via equipment and in the séance there were some small movements felt by one or two of the guests.
No noises were heard whilst we were in this area with this group.
After the guests had experienced three sessions we then let the guests decide where they would like to go and try to experience the fort in smaller groups. We were all on hand to supervise them but the activities the guests participated in were entirely their own choice. We also gave our equipment to those guests who wanted to do lone vigils or small groups.
Many of the guests chose at this time to go back to casement 10 as the Ouija board and glass movement that the majority of groups experienced was truly exceptional, videos of this will be on our website shortly.
I however joined a group that were far away from everyone else where the group were talking to a young female energy via our electronic equipment. I suggested we hold a séance to get the energies (there were more than one) to interact with the guests. Once I had collected two guests that were investigating an area on their own and brought to this group I joined in the séance. David Corey was the name of the spirit that was in the room with us and he managed to move some of the guests hands.

Fort Horsted ghost hunt 15th September 2012
Chatham. Kent.
As a team we were really looking forward to September as it meant that we were visiting Fort Horsted three times to hold ghost hunts.
The first on 14th September was a Hen night party and we had a really good séance session we also recorded a stone being thrown towards the group on video see http://youtu.be/eDaYBTnKHSc
So we were all anticipating this ghost hunt to be just as productive. It was!
Just before we let the guests into the Fort, I was in the smoking area which is at the end of the long tunnel and heard the sounds of metallic scraping, similar to someone moving a load of scaffold poles. Since I know I was the only person in that area and it wasn’t a windy night I did think that that was strange. Later in the evening two guests were also in the same area and they too both heard the same sort of noise.
The group was split into two smaller groups and I headed off for an area which I don’t often investigate, but this is an area which produces lots of strange anomalies and it is the furthest away from the other group.
We had small amounts of KII activity although quite a lot of communication through our electronic devices and the guests heard moans and groans, whistles, female voices and muttering, music and a female singing. We were joined by a female spirit energy called Mary Beth she was quite reserved and whilst holding a séance she was able to push some of the guests and move their arms.
Mary Beth was in her early 30s about 5’8” in height and had passed away during 1870s.
One of the guests (Emma) wandered down the tunnel that we walked to get to where we were to see if she could hear the sounds of the female mumbling and whispering better. She could and then came back very quickly to the rest of us! Towards the end of the session many of the guests including myself could hear the sound of laboured breathing, at first I thought this could be the sound of Sean (Cameraman) breathing as the noise in the room echoes. But as he moved away from us, several guests heard the same sound and it was much louder than the first time. Since Sean had moved away from the group he exclaimed that he though he heard the sound of Children playing, this is extremely unlikely considering it was about 10pm.
The second group session I returned to the same area that I was with the first group. Once again we had lots of communication via our equipment but little or no observed KII activity.
We were joined with a female energy that I have come across before in this Fort and in this room. Her name was Annie and she was a nurse in the First World War. During the resulting séance Annie was able to move just about everyone and arm movement was on command. Annie was also able to push people so that they were bent over and one guest (Dave) who was a sceptic got pushed so hard that he was pushed onto the floor. Many other guests were also pushed downwards and on to the floor. Many guests including me could smell lit matches, which is very distinctive and since we knew that we were alone in this area and no-one was in the smoking area it was rather strange. Some guests also smelt horse manure which equally was strange as there are no horses anywhere near the Fort.
The following two sessions were held in casement 26 which is the most strenuous to go to and from and since I didn’t want to be climbing the staircase (which has 92 steps) twice, the whole group went there in one go and then split up into the two areas at each end of the casement.
During the resulting séance held in this area two Second World War soldiers joined us; Justin and Taff, both were mischievous and they were able to push most of the guests and move their arms without much trouble. Michelle (guest) felt tugging on her coat during this séance and Chris (guest) who was also a sceptic was pushed to the floor. Dave who had already been pushed over once had the majority of the spirit energy affect him and towards the end of this session he was pushed with a lot of force that he could only fall over! Both Dave & Chris were speechless at this activity and had no logical explanation for what happened to them.
The fourth session I stayed put in this area and the guests swapped over, the same WWII energies were able to push people as before, some of which were pushed to the floor or bent over. Plus there was some strange arm movement felt by the guests including twisting or arms, which at times became very painful.
Once again this was a very enjoyable ghost hunt and one in which just about all of the guests had some form of physical paranormal activity happen to them.
We recorded many audio clips throughout the evening but as yet we have not been able to identify any EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena a.k.a. ghost voices).
