Fort Borstal Paranormal Investigation 15th February 2014
Rochester, Kent
We arrived early to set up camera’s in the Officers Mess area. This is a long corridor with six rooms, probably used for army personnel to work & rest. Room 1 was set up to watch the four cameras. We had cameras set up in room’s 4, 5 & 6, and one looking down the corridor. The only equipment we had to use was hearing enhancers and electronic voice recorders. Our aim was to gather evidence.
Group A sat watching the camera’s with Kerry, whilst I took Group B into the rooms. In room 4 only myself was swayed back & forward. Room 5 not too much, but one guest stayed in there whilst we moved to room 6. That guest shortly joined us as he heard shuffling next to him, and an intake of breath as if someone was about to speak. He had no hearing enhancers on. The last room felt very different, all females being pushed/pulled/swayed. Felt a lot colder in this room, was feeling cold spots, and one guest felt a cold touch on their hand. Tingling feelings on head and face too. Guests didn’t like the far right corner, feeling very uncomfortable whilst standing there.
After 30 mins we swapped – Kerry took Group A and they experienced swaying in rooms 4 & 6, although only myself and Kerry in room 4. Someone heard whispering with the hearing enhancers on. Another guest was touched on their leg. Again this group didn’t like the far right corner in room 6.
After a short break we took Groups C & D. I took Group C first and again we were experiencing swaying in room 4. In room 5 I was sure I saw a male spirit standing in the far left corner, others were feeling uncomfortable in this room. I then saw a shadow move a few feet away from that corner. Time was approx 22.45 – not sure whether our camera was facing that way. In room 6 many of the guests were swaying.
Jo then took group D first to room 6 – a loud noise was heard by someone with the hearing enhancers on. When in room 5 they felt uncomfortable in this room. In room 4 many were swaying again.
Whilst we were watching the cameras in room 1, the room suddenly felt extremely cold, starting with our backs, then eventually all over.
I then had Groups A & B again, and this time the focus was on EVP’s. Jo took group A and one guest whilst standing in the front right corner of room 6 was feeling very sick. When someone stood in the far right corner they felt static around them. Also Jo & guests being swayed and pushed in this room again. Whilst playing back their first EVP in room 4 someone asked “did you die here” and they were sure they heard a male “yes”.
I then took Group B, and when playing back our first EVP in room 4, we were sure we heard a male whisper after Justin’s (guest) question. In room 5 before we started the EVP Lee (guest) whistled out asking spirit to copy. No reply was heard but I suggested Lee do this again on the EVP, which he did. Whilst playing it back we heard two whistles before Lee asked his question. However, whilst wearing the hearing enhancers Lee heard a whistle after his question/whistle request, but on playing back again it was not heard, concluded Lee may have heard the whistle in ‘real time’ not on the recording. We moved to room 6 and Karen (guest) was shoved back three times, she asked spirit for more, saying “is that all you can do”, but received no more. However, she was the last person to leave that area when we finished, and whilst walking out she thought someone was walking alongside her, she looked but no-one there. She had the feeling the spirit was escorting out.
Myself and Kerry took Group’s C & D for the final session of the night, however with both groups feeling tired, each time EVP’s were recorded, nobody could be serious and kept laughing.
A brilliant night – great fun and lots of very different experiences.
